Tropical Fruit Discussion / Mango tree help!
« on: July 31, 2022, 01:58:05 PM »
Please help me out on what to do with this mango tree.
Many of the leaves have fallen off, all of the limbs have died except for one.
It is a grafted tree in a pot, how can I get it back to life??
Do I need to trim it? If so where?
Do I need to add vitamins? If so what?

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: 4-5 Best Mango Varieties for Compactness, Flavor Profiles, and Extended Season
« on: July 26, 2022, 11:43:18 AM »A year and a half later...this is what I finally went with: Orange Sherbet, Sugarloaf, Honey Kiss, Little Gem, and I ordered a Cecilove from Alex. I still may find a spot for Pickering. I had also considered Amrapali. Covering early season right now, my good friend has PPK, and my neighbors have propagated a seedling (let's call it "Edmundo") with an Indian/West Indian flavor profile and an excellent sweet/acid balance.
Great choices John! May your trees grow and produce.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Best mangos of this season
« on: July 26, 2022, 11:33:10 AM »
Coconut cream has a bumpy skin. Would love to try out a Dot someday.
I have a question about Dot. I posted earlier about some Dots i had which were fantastic. They were smallish, like the size of a baseball, with very orange flesh and a more resinous taste. I went back again this week to refill my stock, and this time the Dots were bigger than a softball (see picture), with more yellowish orange flesh, and a sweeter flavor. Also, an exceptional mango. Were both of the mangos dots? Or was the first possibly something else which was mislabeled.
And looking at bovine's coconut cream pictures, maybe these larger ones were coconut cream. The flesh looks identical. They weren't labeled when I got them. I labeled all of the different mangos when I came home.

Get the mangos that are resistant to fungal deceases, such as Pickering, Coconut Cream, Glenn, M4, honey kiss, Valencia Pride, etc.
Also, plant some eucalyptus trees, they consume a lot of water.

Hello all, which mango tree fruits every other year?
I know about Valencia Pride, noticed that Lemon merengue is as well.
No flowers or nothing on this one particular tree.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Deadly apple tree in Florida
« on: November 22, 2021, 10:30:10 AM »
On the surface, the Manchineel seems harmless: A green, leafy tree bearing fruits that resemble green apples.
But don't be fooled: Everything from the bark, sap and fruit can be incredibly dangerous to humans.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Mango tree in pot is pushing new leaves, should I wait to plant in ground?
« on: October 03, 2021, 11:38:24 AM »
Hello again, I have a mango tree in pot to be planted into the ground.
The tree in pot has some small new leaves, should I wait for it for to be firm and fully grown to then plant it in the ground.
New leaves in plant, wait for the transplant, to then leave the pot into the dirt?

Hello all, what would be the ideal moon phase to take a potted mango tree and plant it on the ground?
Does the moon have any affect on it?
What would be the best time to plant a fruit tree on the ground?
Much appreciated!

Venus has dropped a few but still loaded with green fruit, the taste has been exquisite, like a late season oversized Orange sherbet.
