An update to the progress of my tree:
It has been over 6 years since I planted my Thomspon Tequila Sunrise Mango.
I was finally able to remove the stakes from the tree this year.
The growth has been slow. The fruits this year were small and few, but more than previous years. One or two 1/4 of a size of a store fruit.
Yet the taste was way better!
BSBullie, you were wrong! The tree is starting to thrive.
Just add water and give it more time.
