I want to add M-4 to my Sugarloaf tree. My understanding is that they should be compatible as far as vigor. Also, I'm thinking that M-4 is a more reliable producer and will extend the season, and it's also a superb mango.
Very superb combo John! 🤤 not sure about compatibility but definitely wins as far as flavor, production, and season!
So.. what's it like there now? I'm flying down there in a couple days :-/
Paul Nison changes his mind about plants as much as the wind changes direction.I know what you're saying. I don't take anything he says as "Bible truth." He wants to be an authority on the subject of fruit trees, but the information he presents is always very subjective (including constant mispronunciations). His heart is in the right place. The good news: he features Alex Salazar a lot, a true authority who is a really smart and experienced grower, providing accurate and useful information.
Excalibur would be your best bet to try the fruits.
so the dark stuff is normal?
Spring just started a couple a few days ago.
High end bicycles are usually made in Europe or Japan. Like guitars as an example Chinese made are the worst even the same brand and model Korean maybe Japanese are the best quality while not being too expensive. Mexican is decent but not as high quality as Korean. American made is over priced but there for more expensive models.
It's rare for China to have good quality. Their focus is on quantity and cheap but that may be what you want sometimes and occasionally it lasts.
Practically nothing is made in USA because we have the world's most valuable currency. Without tariffs we can't compete. A Mexican making $8 an hour enjoys the same lifestyle as an American making $25 an hour. The corporations are too greedy to allow tariffs and they donate big money to politicians.
Probably in the minority here, but I like names like "M-4" and "E-4".
Hot, dry Springs in Florida are not uncommon. I investigated having an irrigation well installed in my back yard but the $3,500+ cost just to irrigate a few fruit trees nullified that option. So I setup a rain barrel next to my shed with a guttering system attached to the shed to catch the runoff from the roof and through the downspout into the barrel. I'll likely add an additional barrel later on.Very smart. We should be doing more of that.
Im actually doing the same.
Some of my plants cant handle the city water at all.
My city water has chloramine added to it which does not dissipate with time, so filling a barrel with the hose and letting it sit for a week to evaporate (like chlorine does) won't work. This stuff kills beneficial microbes in the soil in addition to the fact that it is just not good for the health of the plants. But yeah it's been dry lately - we need some rain!!!
