Maprang Fruit Set
« on: February 17, 2015, 09:57:24 PM »
So my little tree that some of you may remember, got almost mowed down by a golf cart, threw a bunch bloom pannicles off in its last growth flush.  The tree is still barely a meter tall.  I was disappointed to see no fruit set....... or, so I thought.  I noticed a few days ago that some of the pannicles were still green and lo and behold, upon further, closer, examination, there are little red fruits that have set.  Not sure of the exact count but looks like at least 5 fruits....maybe more and the tree has a section going into bloom again.

This tree has previously set two small fruits but they dropped when still rather small.  I am anxious to see what happens this year.  I'll try to post a picture tomorrow.

I'm going to have to delete this thread if you don't post any pics. Also, by allowing you to post here, I think it is fair that I am owed at least 50% of your first maprang harvest.

I don't remember much from law school but that sounds like an enforceable contract to me. Either that or copyright infringement. I forget.

I have seen the first maprangs on the market today. No mayong chid yet.

My tree didn't set any fruit but it seems to make more flowers now.

Grafting maprang onto mango failed again. Approach graft is still connected to mango.

Maprangs are like abius being real bastards when they first open their fruiting account.They flower madly and nothing sets or small fruit drop off until they get their ship together.They can be 2 or 3 frustrating seasons of this behavior before they truly open their account.

Nice. Curious to here your thoughts on them. Mine seems to drop most of the fruitlets though. I hope a few hang on for you. I am optimistic about mine this year as well.

Definitely not. But girdling on select branches can help to induce flowering. Running over your tree with your golf cart not recommended.

Very nice. I will love seeing the photo of mature fruit. What's your Longan tree looking like these days?

Kohala, Kohala seedling, E daw, Daigelman, Tiger's Eye, Biew Kiew, See Chompoo, Tommy Wong, or Rolling Leaf?

 Is your tree grafted and how old is it. I have some plants got the seed from Oscar, what slow growers.

I also have slow growing seedlings, but this tree that is fruiting is from Frankie's and is grafted.

Lol. I didn't realize you had so many. Well, maybe you can put up some pics in your next tour. I don't want to derail the maprang thread. :)
