My Lemon Zest at dusk glowing with powdery mildew ;D


Lol  ;D...that is a great looking Lemon Zest and look at all those blooms, just beautiful! Hopefully, you will still tons of mango  :D

Beauteous! Your tree looks great to me. Does pm have an orange color to it? I thought it was grayish. The color of your blooms looks similar to what I'm seeing all around, wondering if pm is all around too, lol

Ha ha, it's similar from distance and was noticeable closer, hopefully not a lot of PM around.  Lemon Zest had lots PM this year. As usual, didn't spray, but maybe next year. I will up date with a more current photo (original was 2-15)

Nice!

Finding more fruit set on Sugar Loaf. Even most of the lower branches/panicles that get hammered by the sprinkler have decent fruit set.

Sadly, not seeing much fruit set on Guava aka Sein Ta Lone. At least there are a few already, will guard them well.

All my Sugarloaf fruitlets seem to have black spots on them -- guessing that's not good

I think it's going to be a banner season. I have a potted up pickering that has a lot of fruit set and a young Irwin that's taking the season off to grow more roots (I recently transplanted it into a 29 gallon pot). Woohoo!

Unless that tree is just 3 feet high, you probably have thousands of starter fruits, lol. =)

Great looking Glenn!

I do have a question about my Glenn if anyone can answer. See below. My tree is 7' tall and about 4' wide and all of the growth is at the 6' level. Lots of panicles right now and some tiny fruitlets like those above. The tree is about 3-4 years old, How many fruits should I allow to grow to maturity on this tree?

I'm no expert but I think it depends more on how long it's been planted if it's 3-4 years old. Has it been in the ground all 3-4 years? Or was it recently planted?

Great pics everyone!

My Maha seems quite prolific this year, though I know I will most likely lose 98% of these baby fruitlets its still pretty impressive to see so many in one panicle  :D

Been in the ground 2 years.

I think the tree will decide on it's own how many fruit it can handle. It will simply drop the ones it can't support. If you've had it in the ground 2 years, I say let it happen on its own.

Again, I'm no expert. Lots of people on this forum know way more than I do.

Lots of panicles right now and some tiny fruitlets like those above. The tree is about 3-4 years old, How many fruits should I allow to grow to maturity on this tree?



So it depends on your intention for the tree:
If you take off the fruit this year the tree will have a chance to put on as much growth as it wants, this is good if you want a larger tree.

If you let the tree set a few fruits this year the tree won't grow much, this might be good if you are trying to go for a smaller tree.
This is similar to Mangomen Homestead's philosophy. Might be a little tricky to get right

I would just be wary of letting it hold too much fruit to maturity, it could very well fruit itself to a sickly tree and/or stop producing fruit for a few years

I personally like having trees I can walk under so I would wait for another year or 2.
From the picture, the amount of foliage looks close to a good size 3g planted out after a year or two. So if i really wanted fruit I'd let it hold maybe 5.

Orange Sherbet finally woke up from its winter hibernation




1 1/2 ft tall Nam Doc Mai #4 trying to produce again.. too early bud!




and Maha has tiny fruits... I'll probably keep 1-2 healthiest ones for this year - if they hold

Was just dreaming of ripened mangoes, and wondering who has some already. Super jealous!

Blowing up these Ceci Love fruit pics only increases my anticipation:

Yes, way better than I was expecting for a March Carrie.




A good flavor change up from the Rosigolds and Edwards which have both been really good as well.

Also found a ripe O-15 today and have some Rosas and Dwarf Hawaiian that are pretty close.

Nice fruit set Bov!

I have a decent fruit set on my potted Pickering. My little Venus from Lara Farms has exactly two set fruit on it that I'll probably prune off in another few weeks because it's far too little to fruit. Nothing on my Irwin but it needs more time as it's just maybe two years old now but I just up-potted it and my other seedling mangos are way too young. But, you know... Pickering is a great mango and it's nice to see the Venus is vigorous.  :)
