That article mentions jujubes being called dates if they're dried. Do Taiwanese folks call jujube dates? The dates I know come from the date palm...not sure if that's misinformation, or just speaking of what it is called in Taiwan.
Tree looks fine. Is it a seedling?
Herman - other than losing part of one branch, the flowers and a few leaves, the plant
looks perfectly fine. Truly NOTHING to worry about. I'd even say it is ready to go back
out into the sun, or wherever you had it before, and get on with the business of growing
it, again!
If you want to see major destruction of a tree, ask Puglvr for a few pictures! Even some of
her trees came back from near total annihilation.....

Is there any evidence of dieback?
Cant tell from your picture as it is a bit blurry however read my post about mature PPK mango problem. Cant tell if its the same or similar problem however the USDA does not say its healing itself and leave it alone.
can't see ish from that picture, but i have the same problem on the one mango tree that i inherited with the property. I think it's a madame francis (although if my memory serves me correctly, some of the fruit last summer was noticeably less fibrous than others--if that's even possible). I cut it back pretty good last summer, and it oozes orange sap from several places on the trunk, and has been oozing for 6-8 months now, though the rest of the tree seems to be thriving. It didn't set any fruit this year but I expected half as much when I chopped it back. I still need to chop back the other of the two main trunks.
Is the tree sick, or does this normally occur when pruning a mango heavily?
I start all of my tropical fruit seedlings in gritty mix and have had only good luck. The minimum humidity in my environment is 75%; I don't know if that is needed for seedlings in the gritty mix or not.
Hi friends sorry to double post but I finally came back home and took my plant out to repot it and therefore took a few pictures of the roots.
Now, I don't know how bad roots look like but by the look of my plant's roots, things seem okay I think. My only concern is how black the bulby part of the root is but I think it's just soil residue.
Also, should I trim off this branch here? It's the blackish one.
Again guys thank you for helping! I really appreciate it!
Here's my abused Pickering-- it wants more light but I'm still in the middle of constructing its new home.

Beautiful tree Herman! How long did it take to grow to where it is now after you trimmed it?
The good thing about hydroponics is the superfast growth, i plan to do hydroponics for a fruit-tree for a while and then plant it in soil. I just want to have bigger plants fast.
