Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Should I Thin Out the Mangos on Small Mango Tree?
« on: July 11, 2023, 01:54:01 PM »
Cutting the tree in half now would be a great idea, the energy in the sap would be diverted into pushing new branches while the initial shock would stimulate vigorous root growth.

Yes the bulbs are hard to the touch, the tree was in container in native soil mixed from yard, the tree was pushing new growth and look to be overall in good health but it did not exhibit the vigorous growth other seedlings have shown.

« on: November 15, 2022, 06:13:24 AM »
Id add jakfruit to the underrated list, but understandably so. Some cultivars mediocre on flavor and others are a pain to process the fruit out, but then you come across a easy peel absolutely delicious jak and doors to fruit heaven open.
