Here they are right now (about 1 ft tall).
Here is the trunk. Has a very cool striated bark (very un-papaya-like) with this funny bulbous bottom
How do these look after a good growing season?
Flattening cleft unions just means the scion is growing or thickening faster than the rootstock.
This may be temporary and the union will grow round later when the rootstock catches up.
Can I just chalk this up to it being the first fruit set and it will get better with age, or is there something that I'm doing wrong?
I only know one grower in Palm Springs and he harvested about two hundred Mangos from his various trees if I remember correctly. In the extreme heat, some leaves and fruit can burn but otherwise his mango trees are thriving and producing very well.
I would presume that Arizona members will also get high yields from LZ.

How about "Tommy Hass?"Might be a good one to propagate. You can give it a name since it’s a seedling.
Yes... don't call it Hass, it is something else.
OK, everything I read about Angie was unicorns and stardust and now I'm reading this a few years after I bought one."Unicorns and stardust." That's funny. Well, Angie's a pretty good mango when all is said and done. Most everyone loves Pickering. A lot of folks love Julie. Another one they say is good is Dwarf Hawaiian. I think Pineapple Pleasure is a small tree. Just because the super-stars aren't container mangoes, that doesn't mean that others aren't worth growing.
So what container mangoes (if any) are top tier?
Thanks!
Starch make sure you get your hands on some Guava mango and Super Julies next year. Two of my favs. Wonderful flavors.
Maybe its just my low expectations.
Dinner: White Pirie. Bombay, Maha Chanok
White Pirie was excellent, syrupy sweet and delightful.
Bombay was not nearly as good, but ok.
Maha was spot on.
White Pirie wins.

Nicely done Simon!! Thats a heckuva newbie resources list.
Davie vs. coastal zone. It may largely be about location and soil with this variety.
