I didn't think any of them are seedless if there is a male?
How big are the seeds? Were the fruit enjoyable with the seeds?

3 of my mango trees have the majority of their’ canopy pushing buds in my Biscayne Park yard. Hopefully most mango growers in south Florida have blooms starting too.

Please share your spray regiments and experience with spraying emerging panicles vs. not spraying.

One of the many mango things that confounds me is WHEN to spray.
I’ve heard you can sterilize flowers if you spray while open?

I’ve also heard some mango growers never spray during bloom at all, if you are one of these people please share your experience.

Would love to hear all failures and successes.

Weiss from this forum has given me some advice and I’d love to hear some more.

Thank you kindly

Have you had problems with your blooms previously?

where do you get the cricket frass?

or do you have crickets in a box?

I owned a cricket farm, Acheta domestica is the genus and species of the grey cricket.
I sold 89,000,000 crickets one year
Anyway I am getting the frass from my old farm.

cricket frass
I usually mix a cup in a gallon of water and let simmer for 2-4 hours in the sun.
Also on the first of every month I have been giving my potted plants
fish emulsion. I have 4 jabos in pots and they really seem to be responding

My friends Lula tree was loaded this year. What a fantastic avocado.
The last ones got picked  a week ago
Is there a better tasting late season avocado?

I had a couple and those were very juicy and to me mild flavored
No tartness which I like. They definitely didn't remind me of peach flavor

You want to graft around mid February to beginning of March in Florida.
The best time is before the annonas push their Spring growth.
This is tricky because the two cold days Dec 24th and Dec 25th caused
some of my annonas to push after the 80F days. Then we had 2 nights with frost
and Winter isn't over. If you do graft and a cold front comes through I would
protect the grafts and bring them in.
As Galatians522 stated cherimoya is the preferred rootstock or maybe even better would
be to graft onto African Pride seedlings. Sometimes you have to use what you have this season
and prepare better for next season

There are some sellers from Naples on Craiglist
that advertise air layered atemoyas.  I know someone who got two
47-18s from them. There is no way to be 100% until they fruit.
I would definitely try it in the Spring and let us know if you succeed

It usually takes 1-2 weeks to start seeing the affects

sitting at 32F frost everywhere
