Dude! I ordered 2 boxes from Alex sent to my Indiana peeps, and they were fruit tripping at the flavors and quality! Loved them  ;D

A lot of my early mangos were bland, but the last week and a half they have been great!

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Cocktail tree with sweet tart

I have sweet tart on part of my Chocanon tree. I'm thinking of adding another great variety. Any top tier suggestions as to what would have a similar growth pattern? Thanks

I just trapped all the squirrels in my yard along with an opossum and a raccoon. It didn't take long. They are all happily living in a spot not to near my house! Non retuned so far... I think I'll do this every year before the harvest

Werner makes a 10 foot fiberglass tripod ladder that can be delivered for free to your local home depot. $233 has anyone tried it? I want one too!

I used it on my bananas. They liked it! Had to wash it a and let it ferment in a black garbage bag for a few weeks. A lot of work I thought

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: How were your mangos this year
« on: August 30, 2017, 10:14:06 AM »
My Dot was a flavor bomb this year! It was very early and did not get a lot of rain. People at work were like wow, I've never tasted a mango like that, let me know if you have extra :-D  Not a huge crop, but off the chain. Florigon only had about 20 for the first fruiting after grafting. It was my wife's favorite mango. choc-anon only held a few and we're OK. Keitt still fruiting and awesome big delicious fruit, hope the squirrels don't destroy them! Got a bout 35 on a small tree.

It is a seedling of whatever variety the "discarded pit" was....not much more to say on yhe subject.
Thought maybe some one had seen a variety that looks similar. Very red when flushed, unlike my other trees...

  This tree was a volunteer that sprung up from a discarded pit. Any idea what kind it is? Thanks in advance!  It has very unusual very red leaves when it flushes.

Should I cut off some of the panicles, to make it bloom again to stretch out the harvest?

I've finally started coming around to ST. I basically wait until its fully yellow.
Definitely a flavor bomb, the more i eat the more it grows on me and i can't understand why.

Kent, hatcher, providence maybe pickering

Did you spray onto the soft, new foliage?  If so, what time of day?

How big/old is the tree?  How often and how do you water?

Guilty of spraying it on new foliage!  Tree is 8 yrs/ 12'  X 5" diameter trunk. Sprayed at night. Water thoroughly once a week, along with sprinkling about 3x week.

My Dot's new leaves are curling  :-[ maybe I over did the fertilizer? I put some palm fert that I had left over along with a couple handfuls of calcium. To top it off i sprayed with some nutrient spray. Maybe I over did it???
