Dripping with mangoes

[zands]

I have other failed (no fruits) and half good trees this year but these four are dripping. Please post your dripping photos from this year, last year, it could be any year. It could be trees near La Habra such as JF has posted. Clustered mangoes are a thing of beauty and the weather this year seems to have produced more than usual plus produced more dropped mangoes. Dropped even late in the game.
I mowed the lawn yesterday as it got dark (to beat the heat) so have to finish mowing today. So tall grass in some photos and short in others.



Neelam



No name neighborhood mango that cookie monster grafted for me five years ago. Will be my earliest mango I think




Sweet tart about 14 ft tall




Same Sweet tart tree from another 180 degrees different view, about 14 ft tall. Nam Doc Mai on its left looks good from this angle but only has average production this year.




Gold nugget aka golden nugget about 17 ft tall bought at HD





Same No name neighborhood mango that cookie monster grafted but seen from the other side




Neelam again but from the opposite side

Absolutely beautiful!  You're in for some fine eating just watch for thieves!

Congrats Zands! You're trees looks beautiful, short and bushy, I guess you have been doing alot of tipping since small!

My Glenn is having a great year as well. Last year it got infested with scale and did not hold a lot of fruit - it's making up for it this year.

Five year old Mahachanok about a week ago. I have already thinned the fruit some. The other side of the tree has more mangos than pictured here.

Absolutely amazing pictures you guys!!! Can't get enough looking at all those beautiful mangoes...nothing like it!

Zands, beautiful trees loaded with fruit. I love the short stature of the trees. The fruit is within easy reach for bagging and harvesting.

Neelam


I counted 70 fruit.
Its pulling all the branches down so i had to tie some up, racoons clawing at the skin
Planted from a 3 gal around 2 years ago

Good on ya....

Ah feel yo pain.  My Mallika got hit hard with scale, took 3 sprays of dormant oil, one containing malathion to nail the bastards. It probably cut production by 60%, lots of fruit loss.

Moral of the story - check the underside of your leaves often!

Edgar's good side



Even Dot has some clusters




Beverly, with zero care, looks good

Zands, your trees looks great, specially the heavily laden fruit!
My trees are in their 4th summer, and this is the first year they have put out a substantial number of mangoes. Used a handful of potassium sulfate couple of times last year. Haven't sprayed anything this year, but they seem to be doing okay.
Tropical Storm Colin approaching, so the branches of the trees  are bowing under the weight of the rain, but here goes (pics taken minutes ago):

Mallika first - should get 30-35 mangoes this year (there are more on the other side):



Pickering ... Last 6 mangoes still on the tree, waiting to see if they will grow any bigger. Harvested 26 on Saturday, put them in the garage (cardboard box, newspapers) to ripen. Gave the tree a heavy trim; it's more bush than tree, so I cut the lowest branches that were dragging on the ground and mulched them. Hoping to induce some vertical growth.



Neelam is also bushy, but still twice the size of the Pickering. Once the mangoes come off, the lowest branches need to be removed.

How about your peach tree dripping with peaches? You posted that last year

Raulglezruiz--Congrats Zands! You're trees looks beautiful, short and bushy, I guess you have been doing alot of tipping since small!
Yes I tip pruned them all but they all had bushy and spread out growth tendencies which helped.

Thanks for all the compliments and all the photos of mango trees dripping with fruit and clustered mangoes

zzzz

Yes as the mango tree gets older and fruit bearing you trim branches from the under carriage so you don't have to spend lots of time on propping up branches with wooden slats and so on. When the tree is young you mostly leave lower branches alone because the more leaves on the tree the more faster growth you get

Edgar's good side

lulz..... I have trees with good sides. Its like the Hollywood star who only wants to be photographed from one side. His or her good side.

Now that we have some sun after a week of rain, will soon be close to harvest time. This taken a week or so ago.

My Cogshall has a few over 100 mangoes this season. . .



Excuse the quality of the picture, but TS Colin is kicking up some wind right now.

[michsu]

post more pictures  haha, I don't think we can do this in Southern California.. my tree is only 2 years in ground and nothing like the 2 years you guys are talking about in Florida.. one can only dream..

Were you not complaining last year that your Cogshall tree produced next to nothing? Might have been the year before?
You say 100 Cogshall this year and those all look above one pound.

[sapote]

Wow, beautiful large fruits!!! I seem to remember Florida people had issue with mango flowering this year -- came quite late. Mine Glenn flowered in March but the fruits are only ping pong size, and you guys in FL have so big fruits in a shorter time!!! Anyone in SoCal report your fruit photo please?

[JF]

If course we can do it mitsu
Some will be ready in July others in October

Indeed I was.  Last year's production was about 20 mangoes, and most were jelly bellies.  Very disappointing.  This year?  We had a long talk.  Threats of "produce or go to the chipper" seemed to have the intended effect.  I'm also going to take Jeff's advice and pluck them off the tree sooner rather than later, hoping this will prevent jelly seed.

I recall you mentioning axes, chain saw, wood chippers. Not necessarily in that order. Once again bsbullie is born out....That one has to wait for a mango tree to come into it's own. My Neelam tree (with photos above) has had so much black and anthracnose last year and the year before. This year it has more mangoes than it ever has and no black crap anthracnose on any mangoes. leaves or branches. I did nothing different....the Neelam tree gets all the credit.

Big congratulations on your cogshall coming out like a champ this year with 100 good size mangoes/

@StPeteMango
Great mango tree photos and representation from St Peterberg on west Florida coast. When I visited West Florida in 1988 Tampa was kind of weird (Del Mabry Blvd was festooned with adverts for porno shops) but St Pete was all nice and where I spent some time. Clearwater was strange because you knew Scientology ran it. I went to the Reddington Beach seabird sanctuary quite a few times

[Carbo]

Thanks, zands.  Guess it bought itself another year, at least.  But the tree is about 18 feet tall now, and I'm thinking it's time for a serious pruning as it's looking somewhat scraggly.  There are some lower branches that are definitely going to be removed and some tall, vertical growth that I want to cut back, a la Dr. Campbell and his videos.  Of course, that probably means minimal fruit production next summer. . .
