Yard pics, mostly mango
« on: April 23, 2016, 04:50:11 PM »
It's a mixed picture as far as which mango trees show promise this summer.

Jacquelin (and her sister, Beverly) set a good crop and are retaining them so far.



This is the first year for Dupuis Saigon, and it's doing well for a small tree.




Young PPK looked terrible for nearly a year, is finally flushing new growth.



Lemon Zest had a partial bloom and only fair fruit retention. (no pic)

First year for Edgar, bloom was partial, fruit set and retention very nice so far.




This is not how I recommend growing White Jade pineapples.




Dot had decent bloom and fruit set, mostly poor retention.  The fruit I couldn't reach with spray so far looks better than what was sprayed.





I'm not completely opposed to ornamentals.

The Jacqueline was planted 22 years ago, and has been pruned back a couple times.

The Dot, which is my second one, about 12 years ago.

The Edgar was topworked to a 9 year old Graham, in the summer of 2013.

The Dupuis was planted in May of 2013.

I think LZ was planted in 2011. It had a nice crop last year; this year I will be depending on the kindness of vendors.

The Dupuis, Edgar and PPK were in our top ten last season for taste. 

You have a great list of fruit, enjoy.
