I live in Highlands County and NO blooms whatsoever here, I have a Glenn, 2 Cogshall, Maha and Keitt (though very small tree for being 15 years old). I'm okay with it not having blooms yet since I still have appx 6 weeks of "possible" freezes here...already had 6 or 7 days of overnight lows in the lower 30's, frost but not actual freezing temps. Definitely this year is much later than last year. I had blooms on most of my trees by mid January...Had zero mangoes last summer due to several hours of hard freeze... temps in the mid to upper 20's on January 30 2022...killed all the blooms and many branches got damaged also on my mango trees and just about anything else in the yard .Hopefully I won't get blooms till late Feb but that is highly unlikely Anyone else have blooms on their mango trees in Central or South FL? Lychee is blooming now but won't hold my breath...I've had freeze/frost kill those the last 3 years also. I really hope we all get mangoes and lychees this year! Last year was horrible for having no mangoes!!
Hi John! MBBS? Not sure what that is, please elaborate
That's great news Julie! Keeping an eye on ST and OSh over here, neither has fruited for me yet. This might be the year. Would be cool to have an interactive map showing mango flowering and fruiting trends across the state, year to year.
