I ordered one but it arrived dead.Anyone else used this vendor?
The lower branches on SL had decent fruit set this year, the top almost nothing. Should've immediately hit fruitlets with copper, the majority have dropped, with black spots. Have cleared most of the dead panicles, hoping for more bloom.
Edward is looking good, with lots of fruit. Ceci Love branches set fruit well, where it flowered. New blooms starting on the branches that did not flower 1st round. Got a few OS and Glenn, but these trees have all yet to majorly bloom this season.
Feeling confident there will be early season mangoes, and can see the buds popping for midseason.
I planted a Ronnie. Hope I can keep it in the 12-15 ft range, don't need it shading M-4 and Sugarloaf.My lone Ronnie hit the ground today from all the wind. Looks like flower buds may be forming. I've been looking forward to tasting it.
My other 3 avocado 🥑 trees are on your list.
Nothing so far on ...
Cecilove - some slightly swollen latent buds but not pushing yet
Angie - one panicle blooming. A few latent swollen buds found this morning. Not pushing yet.
M-4 - totally dormant
Orange Sherbet - all buds flushed new leaves. Not a single panicle. This tree's growth habit seems more like Coconut Cream than an upright Orange Sherbet.
Jean Ellen - one bud flushed new leaf growth. Another branch has slightly swollen latent buds.
Saigon - dormant
Zill 40-26 (Creamsicle) - every bud flushed new leaves.
Nam Doc Mai #4 - some slightly swollen latent buds, mostly dormant
Rosa - totally dormant
USDA Himsagar - some latent swollen buds, a few buds pushing out of branch tip. 75% dormant.
Kathy - totally dormant
Créme Brûlée - totally dormant
Sugarloaf - a couple of tiny latent buds forming.
Little Gem - 1 bud pushed new leaves. Multiple swollen latent buds found.
Imam Passand - totally dormant

My Pickering hasn't bloomed - anyone else?Yes, mine is blooming. Watched the bees 🐝 drifting back and forth from Emerald, Honey Kiss, Pickering and Julie today. All have tiny green fruits. I wouldn't call them set yet. After the next week, we should know more ...
If you have an early bloom and it gets toasted by Frost or has a too high ratio of male bloom and you snap it off is there any chance that it would rebloom. I know some varieties especially West Indian will rebloom if you sneeze just joking. Others tend to bloom once and that's it. Where does lemon zest fall in this rebloom categoryAlex Salazar says it has a very good chance blooming from the axillary buds.
Beatrice, Zill M-4, Lil Gem, Kesar, Pickering, Sweet Tart, Orange Sherbet, USDA Himsagar, Candy Corn, and Amrapali fruited reasonably well for me, this year. I’m just a mile or two from the southeast corner of Lake Apopka and almost all my trees get powdery mildew. Beatrice and M-4 constantly try to fruit themselves to death.
