In Cape Coral here and Ian impacted my little Mango forest, but not quite as bad as I thought it would. I was just starting out so most of my trees were small. I lost 4 (Keitt, Orange Sherbet, Seacrest and Coconut Cream) and by that I mean they trees are gone... poof... never found them. (snapped at the ground below the graft) All but 2 of my remaining trees were pushed over. Those two were both pickering... I also have a dozen or so other trees in pots that were largely unscathed, just some minor leaf damage. So, I righted everything and replaced the coconut cream and seacrest, added a Karen Michelle, M4, Orange Essence and Cotton Candy.
Hows things today? Everything seems behind.
Pickerings are just starting to bloom, one heavily and the other not so much, but I had pruned it pretty heavy before the storm.
Pineapple pleasure is blooming for the first time!
Dwarf Hawaiian Blooming also first time.
The new M4 is in bloom and other one still recovering, no signs of bloom.
Honey Kiss is blooming but its way too small to hold fruit.
Spirit of 76 is blooming but its way too small to hold fruit.
Rosigold flowered but dropped all its fruit. For me this tree is hard to keep clean. It's got an insect / sooty mold issue. Happens every year which is strange because its surrounded by other trees (in pots) that are not affected at all.
Ice cream flowered well but isn't holding on to the fruit. No biggie its a small wirey tree and could use another year.
My first Seacrest is really beat. Looks like its alive and starting to wake up. The new one is resting and still in a pot.
Peach cobbler looks healthy and might be starting to flush.
Sugar loaf is starting to push some buds... hopefully flush.
Lemon Zest leaves are really beat and its pushing buds of some sort.
Cotton Candy, Glenn, Sweet Tart, Karen Michelle, Orange Essence and Pina Colada all dormant
So, better than I expected. I'll be happy getting a bunch of pickerings and hopefully trying Pineapple Pleasure and Dwarf Hawaiian for the first time.
Good luck everyone!
