Mango tree losing leaves, but do they grow back?
Comments (6)Daytime temperatures outside have been around 53-55 F. Nighttime temperatures outside have been around 43-45 F. Inside our house, during winter, the temperatures hang around 65 F. Our garage temperatures doesn't get that cold, maybe 55-60 F. Many of times I would go down to the garage during the night to fix my car. I don't feel that cold in my pajama or have a need for a jacket. Anyways, some of the leaves on the mango tree are turning dry. I don't understand. The soil is not dry, not compact, and get good drainage. I only water the tree when the container feels light, or once every 2-3 weeks. Any ideas? The stem looks fine. I'm just afraid that when Spring time rolls around, their won't be any leaves left on the tree....See MoreOptimal growing tempreture for Mango trees
Comments (7)Thanks for the advice, I will probably let my mango tree rest during the winter :) My Mango tree is grafted, it's a R2E2 tree and the lady at the nursery told me that i might even got fruit withing one year from planting, don't know if that was just a sales pitch...I have read that the R2E2s is growing very rapidly the first couple of years. But what do you guys think, is mangoes fruting withing a year just to forget? I planted my tree in early summer. Yeah the climate here is fanstastic, I'm from Sweden myself and becuase it's so damn cold you can't almost grow anything. But here in Bundaberg in Australia the weather is just fantastic and I can grow pretty much everything, lettuce and strawberries is my favourites in the winter, and then summer i try my best with watermelons and cantaloupe but have no good luck so far. My Ladyfinger banana tree's I'm growing is doing fantastic, I planted them next to my compost bin and they are growing like crazy! Everything I grow around that compost bin is making the plants go crazy! Lychees is interesting, so If I would get a grafted lychee tree, how many years would it take before I get fruit on it in general? Grafted tree's here in Australia is so expensive, costs around 65USD per grafted tree......See Morefinally, some baby mangos in my Edward
Comments (12)Thanks for the complements, Simon - I stopped watering at the end of November just started again last week. Last year I used Grow More 10-52-10 fertilizer, recommend by Quan of Ong's Nursery, every three weeks. This year, I'm going with alaska fish emulsion every 4-5 week. I also mix my eucalyptus mulch with chicken manure another recommendation from a CRFG old timer. NathanL You can buy a Glenn from your local Armstrong Nursery in the summer, they'll order one for you from Laverne, or you can pick one up in Mimosa Nursery in East Los Angeles. jsvand5 - and here in CA we are jealous of all the tropical stuff you guys are able to grow. red_sea_me Yes, that's an interesting comparison but I'm afraid I'm going to have to wait a few years to see any meaningful results...my Edward is only 5' tall....See MoreHelp With Growing Mangoes From Seed In South Florida
Comments (10)Hi Mia, What type is the mango you enjoyed so much ? Just curious,..my favorite is the Kents ! It just so happens that I tried exactly what you are considering. A little over 2 years ago I started noticing the occasional small green baby mango plants that would pop up at the base of a banana plant that I used my organic compost to fertilize, ( the compost was full of old mango seeds ). Then a big 25 gallon clay pot became available so I decided to try growing one of the green sprouts, carefully digging up the root which of course, was a big, oval, thin mango seed ! I gave it all the TLC I could, a mixture of regular soil, topsoil & organic compost, put pot in a full sun spot on side lawn with a few bricks underneath so moisture could drain easily, and added half a hand full of 6 - 6 - 6 fertilizer every two months. Was just curious what would develop. Day before yesterday I ripped it out of the pot as I just got tired of looking at a wimpy, 1/2 " diameter, 3 ft tall twig with a few green leaves that was drooping one way, then the other despite my attempts to support it upright ! Had been told that any fruits the plant might generate in future would most likely not be the same as the mother tree. However, I was willing to try anyway, just a casual attempt on my part, no tears shed last Wednesday when I pulled the twig out ! ( smile ) Just my brief experience, - I wish you better luck !...See MoreVeronica
