Hello Gang ;

Hope everyone is safe with minimal damage to your trees and properly.
My family and I been Driving for 2 days from NYC - Naples FL.

There Where times that we thought we where never going to make it home .
It was total Madness! From I-95 NY Thru Naples .
Gas was super scarce! All GA exits closed to Thru traffic .

We where lucky to find gas at every station that we stopped !

Ok we made it safe to Naples on Fumes no freakin gas anywhere in SF , there where some station with gas but the lines where hundreds of cars awaiting to gas up with police escort.

Ok once we pulled into our community we saw all the fallen trees , Missing roof tiles , pool cages all over the place , got a sick feeling in my stomach as we approached out home .

The 1st thing we noticed was my Plumeria trees where toppped over front of our home .
No big deal they have shallow roots , I restated them .
The structure to the front of my home was not compromised!
My Lanai in tact I even forgot to put away all my potted plants !.

Made my way to my mango trees expecting The worse, to my surprise they where not up rooted !
Yes they looked like they went thru hell and back ! .

But all in tact thank god ! .

My next door neighbors suffered lots of destruction, feel so bad for them ! There much older folks , I will be helping them tomorrow cleaning up ..

Here's some pics I just took .

Ps I feel like a total Zombie! Driving soooooo dam much ..

 Hello Gang ;

I've backed off feeding my trees chemical fertilizer, and started to feed them the left over Ormus that I produce for my self .

They seem to love it , it has many natural Minerals .

Thanks Ed


This is what the Ormus Looks Like ;

Hello Gang ;

This morning I was checking up on my trees and saw this one Pickering with a slightly yellowish hue , And a small wound , Will this Mango Properly Ripen with the small wound or will it spoil ?

Hello Gang ;

I was tempted to  grow this small 3 Gal HK Mango Tree using the Hydroponics Method, I've us e This method to grow Plumeria Seedlings and was impressed with the growth rate and health of the plant .

Got it all set up and monitor its progress..
Will be in a sunny spot in my Lanai.
