The Tropical Fruit Forum

Maha.  1st yr fruiting.  Not colorful like smaller ones on tree in sun but i feared losing it to varmints.
This is/was largest fruit on tree by a lot.  Others won't be near this size.

I'll look into them nutes doc.  I got all kinds of problems happening quickly.
Mites? appeared suddenly, sprayed soap & spinosad, leaves yellowing falling off from something.  I did water couple times per week during drought.
I have potassium sulfate & phosphite, is this need of potassium?

M4 i must be picking wrong.  Haven't picked any this yr but 2 are almost small grapefruit size which is larger then i remember in past.  Taste has yet to wow me.  Edible skin though.

You're right, thanks.  I'll see how the spinosad/castile soap treatments work 1st.
That stuff would be great for all other non fruit trees.

Avermectin interesting & relation to Ivermectin.
Tried spraying the castile soap with Spinosad at 3 parts to 1 of the soap but darn hose end sprayer acted up.
Soaking head in vinegar & will blow out with air tomorrow.  Those spider mites spead quick.

Pine, as i understand Sulfur needs 3 days below 85 after application.
Oil's?  I don't know if applied in evening & dry by morning if it would work like baby oil on skin.

Spider mites new to me, my poor leaves got so many scars quick & tiny white clusters of what looks like snow caps chocolate candy back in the day.

my input- get that tape for support stick off.  strangling it looks fom here and you don't need it.

Bloom, 2 thoughts..
Have someone cut it off skin & try just the flesh.  Might be allergic to skin.
Buy some grown in USA & see if same reaction.

Julie, if friends with neighbor, ask if you can paint it but color wise for damaging trees, i say lack of breeze matters more.
I too have fence a few feet from Kent that has funky bark but i'm sure i'll fix it up after harvest prune.

Gap on bottom's larger then mine was but pickets screwed along bottom did the trick & keeps pickets from curling.
Pickets might come wider for your fix?  Cheap too.  That vinyl stuff you linked to i'd pass on.

Julie, my beloved Kent has inner branches/limbs with the black mold looking stuff.
Tried peroxide & water on some a few months ago.  Didn't help but not worse.
Interested in fungicide we should try.
Been pruning everywhere without fruit to let sunshine get at it.

The tiny hole looking spots i thankfully don't have.  Borer?
Black dots on your last photos leaves i think are bugs.  Oil or bifenthrin my guess for it.

How does trunk look where it meets dirt?  Take pics.  Weed eater damage sure can kill a tree.

M4 couple days ago.  Anyone have roots like mine?  Carpet needs trimming but the way trunk's growing is different then all my trees.

Vigorous heals quick flowered twice does get anthracnose some for me.
Latest bloom set fruit & clean.

Rob, pickling, what a great idea.  I hate seeing my tiny mangos from non-stop wind gathering flies.
I bite them if soft & pleasantly tasted little Maha drop & said to self i'm gonna like this variety.  1st yr flowered & holding.
I lost 20 outta maybe 30 Raw Honey.  Grew a large 3 or 4 last yr.  Decent.
Cogshall, M4, even Phoenix(some) flowering a few spots.
Peach cobbler lost i'll guess 20 outta 35.  1st yr also. 
I pray Phoenix gives me 1 perfect fruit cause i've yet to taste it & youtube vids got me wanting it bad lol.
Cogshall didn't set loads but almost none dropped.  I love that mango, chopped into cubes with skin on tastes so strong & amazing.  Eat with cold leftover seasoned chicken thigh (also chopped up) on hot day for lunch break.
