2025 Mango season

[Greater Good]

Thank you Mr. UPS man!
Getting ready for the 2025 season!





Not going to stand by watching the powdery mildew and anthracnose pestilence go unchecked!

I have big blooms on the Edward mango tree. Should I protect these blooms with fungicide? Here in Santa Barbara the cold winter night temperatures are just getting started.

Congrats on your new acquisition! You should be smelling good by now, lmao!

2nd round of spraying complete. Used sulfur and kelp extract this time. Love the M4! Not sure if I'm doing it right, but I sure look and feel like a pro.

More 60's and 50's at night coming for SoFL this week. Hope to be ahead of the PM and alternaria this season.

Got back from the rocket Coast Friday so traditionally after Thanksgiving I set up my Frost Protection Program. Was scheduled to spray but too windy at sunrise. Started on irrigation Frost protection mid-morning

NDM beginning to flower in RPB/Lox, noticed a few trees with extensive bloom in Wellington.

I would say that powdery mildew is a much bigger concern in California.  Sulfur would be beneficial.
Anthracnose fungi love Florida hot, wet, humid conditions.

What kind of blooming activity are you experiencing?

[JR561]

Thanks guys, the black Friday deal at My4sons was enough for me to pull the trigger on a sprayer finally.

I'm detecting much optimism in Alex's demeanor. Could 2025 be on par with 2023?

Is the my4Sons motorized pump sprayer really much better than a traditional manual back pack sprayer?

Too early to tell, still plenty of time for cold fronts to freeze out much of the state

It's more than a traditional backpack sprayer with the in tank mixing pump (agitator) option. The backyard grower has a cost effective way to spray sulfur and combat powdery mildew.

South Palm Beach County has had almost zero rain in the last month and the trees are getting stressed out from lack of water. The season is looking good so far with the early varieties starting to bloom.

[Greater Good]

We have buds emerging, I don't think this is a leaf flush!

[Greater Good]

Anticipation of budding panicles.  Hooray!

Looking great. Cheers

Nice!

Here's some Edward blooms:








....and I love the M4, but don't recommend carrying it by the handle during use. Shoulder, upper back, and neck were aching bad last night and still today. Almost bought the cart, gonna strap back in next weekend for sure.

[Greater Good]

I adjusted the straps to my sprayer and put it on my back. Got to get used to button location. Tried the stainless extendable wand today. It leaked at the connector where the wand extends. E-mailed My4Sons and they responded within an hour. They are sending me a replacement. Customer service is extraordinary  - they backup their product.
My wife says I look like the Ghost Buster guys 🚫 👻 with it mounted on my back.
I may be strapping it to a handtruck eventually.

Rob, your Edward looks happy 😊

[JR561]

Yeah no way Im strapping that backpack on.

Just going to strap it to a hand truck I use to move potted plants.

The plate in my shoulder isnt found of straps.

60 bucks for a 1 gallon tree is wild.

My airconditioner has never been off this many days in December or January for that matter in 20 yrs.  Looking forward to swimming again lol.
No rain to boot, yes i see almost all my trees looking bud happy very soon!
Blasted them all with potassium sulfate yesterday, quicker effect & don't have to water in.
Already darker except Peach Cobbler, hit it with micros & a touch of bifenthrin (i know i know) because it's the only variety i get those orange bug spots, then leaves get covered in black.  Oil i learned works well but i might hit again with K or micros & oil would seal leaves?  No buds yet & likely spraying it once more with K or micros before buds/flowers.
Leaves dark green on all others.

If it's Truly Tropical, she's not shy.

In an era of celebrity endorsements and self promotion this is the new Norm. Why not Have a truly tropical tree A sleepy Joe Pillow and a Donald watch with a West Palm Beach garden gnome in your front yard

YouTube celeb LOL

I love how she charges so much for varieties we have no clue about.

All we need now is a Paul video for that variety saying its the best mango ever.
