2023 Mango Season
roblack:
Hello mango growers!
Curious about flowering and productivity around Florida and abroad. Especially interested in sharing info on new varieties, in addition to experiences with classics as many of our climates are shifting.
Currently seeing flowers on Sugar Loaf and Ceci Love.
Sugar Loaf
Will traverse the jungle to check on other varieties.
After a crappy season last year, hopeful for even a decent year.
Please share your experiences and let us know what is flowering.
Orkine:
Several trees are breaking bud and flowering already. I will wait until this current cold spell passes before making an assessment on what the season may be like.
I expect one maybe two more deep drops before spring (after this weekend). Depending on the timing of those cold spells, it could be boom or bust.
fruitnoob:
It's a weird phenomenon in my yard: Two small trees - both in ground, are blooming: 3gal Nam Doc Mai and 7 gal Carrie. None of them will be allowed to fruit. The 3 25gal potted trees: Cat Saigon, Fruit Punch, and Maha don't show any sign. Maybe they are shy in the new house, who knows. I am leaving them outside for the Sunday cold snap (lowest temp will be around 40) to see if they'll do anything.
Last year, i got my mangoes from Fruitscapes and other places in Pine Island. Not sure where to go to satisfy my mango addiction for this year.
fliptop:
Sugarloaf, a 7-gal containerized Madame Francis, and one of my Pickerings are flowering. I'm hoping the buds poking out on a lot of my seedling trees are going to turn into panicles. I am afraid of frost Sunday morning and hope this is the last drop into the 30s this season.
Honest Abe:
Bailey’s marvel and Pickering are just starting to push buds in my yard. Hopefully floral and not foliar…
Still dormant: sugarloaf, NDM, pineapple Pleasure and Keitt. I expect everything to push atleast some panicles out in about three weeks with lows under 60 for the next 6 or 7 days consecutively.
roblack, what age are your sugarloaf and cecilove just curious? ( my sugarloaf had flowered 3 years in a row but always drops the few fruit it sets…) im planting a cecilove this summer…
