It looks like it's going to be a good year. I've got confirmed bloom on Banganpalli, Jehangir, Kesar, Jumbo Kesar, Julie, Dot, East Indian, Janardhan Pasand, USDA Himsagar, Neelam, Mahmood Vikarabad, #11, and Alumpur Baneshan. I'm spraying the heck out of them this year cuz I'm tired of losing fruit to powdery mildew attacks. Waiting for bloom on Borsha, Malda, Sindhri, Manohar, Sonpari, Panchadarakalasa, Dashiri and Royal Special.
Has anyone grown them off season before? I was curious if the quality is lower. I struggled with mangos for years (killed so many trees) and finally grew my first one (ate it 1 week ago). My plant (Pickering) flowered in the fall cause I left it outside until September. I got my first fruit around jan 10. Tasted great, but then again I’ve only had poor mangos up here in Canada. So I was thinking I could try and stagger my trees and get them fresh all year.
Jabo, your trees look flawless, what’s your secret?
Side note: Maybe this always happens ??Pickering oozed white sappy liquid from all stem ends while pushing bloom spikes out, and sugarloaf is oozing black sappy liquid from all flower spike ends as they emerge.
Jabo's in Tn not Fl mind you. Jabo, do you guys get anthracnose & pm like we do? Just asking.Ed

Oh well, that just means getting more trees now!

How warm do you keep the greenhouse in winter to get bloom this early?
