The Good News for my plot of land in Martin County, Fl.......... Almost 100% of the trees have buds,panicles, or blooms on them or have previously had them over this winter of the mature trees that produced fruit last year.
It has not rained over the past week here. Since I do not live on coral calcium deposits a foot down, my trees that are over 6 yrs old should be able to easily pick up water since my water table is only 6 to 10 ft. below the sandy surface usually. Thus if mature trees, use your head and ask the question, "Do I really need to water my mature mango trees?" Now if they are small and newly planted, that's a different story.
Some of the previously mentioned in this thread that I grow:
Valencia Pride and Kesar have a few panicles and many buds.
Pickering and Himsager are blooming.
PPK,M4, Keitt, and NDM has buds/few panicles.
Glen,coconut cream, sugarloaf, Madame Francis,Maha,Fruit Punch, and Dot are blooming
At this point, it looks like it could be an above average mango crop in 2023 at my residence. But as they say, "Don't count your chickens before they hatch."
I am also especially excited about 4 seedling trees of unknown varieties that are sending up buds/blooms; as I get to possibly try a totally new variety in the future.
