Depends on your zone, soursop won't take any cold less than 50f.
First fruit tree I have bought in 24 months....Was a Soursop yesterday at Bender's Grove. So I am prejudiced. Mr Bender told me he sells his soursop fruits for as much as $12/lb depending on supply and demand. People are flocking to (buying) soursop because its rep as being anti-cancer. I have no idea if this is true but will read up on it.
Have posted previously but at Western Beef in Boca Raton the soursop goes for 8$/lb and sells out in 45 minutes whenever they get in a shipment. People are so anti-cancer gaga over soursop that they will buy cosmetically crappy looking fruits because the inside is still intact///
The pythons/snakes sense the drop in the barometric pressure and hide before the cold front comes through andI use to catch brown basilisks in Miami over 25 years ago. They are primarily insectivores. They are part of the landscape
and are one of many new introduced species which are not going to disappear. They have a "Big" python hunting contest
every year and kill a couple hundred pythons from the Everglades. This is the biggest joke in the world. Pythons are here
to stay. I have heard that the pythons were accidently introduced from Hurricane Andrew but I saw pythons before the hurricane.
I use to work with reptiles and I made extra money catching mostly exotic species including Brown anole, Knight anole, Jamaican anole, Nile monitor, crested anole, bark anole, cane toad, basilisk, iguana, spiny iguana, veiled chameleon, Cuban tree frog, curly tail, agama, blind snake, and I am sure I am forgetting more. Iguanas are primarily herbivores but in the wild an iguana will forage. They don't typically strip a tree or plant and kill it. Squirrels do far more damage to fruit and they return every day. If it makes you feel better to kill a reptile, unfortunately irresponsible people have introduced them and there is no way to eradicate them. There is allot of fear associated with reptiles and with it goes tons of misinformation. Now there is a law about keeping large pythons without a permit, TOO LATE!
A good cold winter in the southern Everglades would wrap up the python problem.
are mango trees able to handle the full sun when grown in a lit garage for the first 2 months of their lifetime?

I would gradually put trees in direct sunlight to avoid shock
Two studies published in Nature last year cited evidence that overuse of neonicotinoid pesticides was harming bee populations. One of the studies found that bees were drawn to neonicotinoids, which are derived from nicotine, possibly similarly to how humans are attracted to nicotine. This means that bees may prefer a food source that harms their nervous system. from https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2016/jan/12/bayer-revises-position-extra-protections-for-bees-from-pesticidesNow humans are attracted to nicotine? Where did you read this?
Can't find the article talking about long range remanence of this product but this article explain that toxicity for bees remain for at least 1 year. https://pro.anses.fr/euroreference/Documents/ER11-METHODES-ResidusEN.pdf
So as I was answering to Luc, efficient product but not very Earth friendly...Excuse me if Wikipedia said its true then it has to be true.
I don't see anywhere in that passage that says it is toxic to bees for multiple years after an application? I do see where it
says it takes 30-60 days to move through the tree. And where does it say it is more attractive
to bees then regular untreated flowers from citrus??? The forum members who are using this product
are applying it to trees that are in decline not trees that are flowering anyway?
