You are way up there in the northeast. If your mango tree is in full sun all day, I feel that you should protect this little tree by mulching about 3-4 " thick and about 3 ft in diameter at the base of the tree. E-san is known for hot and dry weather, giving it some shade in the afternoon (1 - 3 pm) for couple more months is not a bad idea. Water it (if no rain) deeply once a week should be fine if your tree is mulched. Otherwise, you may need to water it more often. I don't think you tree looks sick. It probably is still adjusting to a new home and from being in the heat. General speaking, soil in the Northeast is not the best andt the heat is also harsh. Baby it a bit does not hurt. Check GardenWeb forums' main page. Go down to the bottom third, look for a Column labeled "By Name of Plant" and go down that column to Tropicals. That's where you want to post your tropical fruit/tree questions. Hopefully, you planted a sweet variety or the one that is eaten green and not sour. I don't think there is a name of the latter in English. Good luck

NOT positive but its possible you have some root rot going on? That happened to one of my potted mango tree and the leaves looks very similar to yours...very droopy. Ironically, by the looks of the tree you would think its suffering from lack of water but in actuality its from soil that is staying way too wet towards the bottom of the pot (perched water) and the roots on mine were rotting. Your potting mix looks VERY water retentive to me...they prefer mix that fast draining, keeping the soil moist not "wet". Is there a way you can very gently remove the plant being very careful with the roots and check to see if the bottom of the pot is very wet? You can also insert a thin (wood dowel) sharpened at one end...insert it all the way down towards the bottom of the pot and see how wet it is. This is just a guess since its hard to diagnose from a picture...Best of luck! Nancy

In the name of saving a few $29.99 3 gallon mango trees, I have already spent a small fortune in products that failed to produced results for this particular circumstance. I replaced the soil in the pots with pricey bagged blends mixed with compost just in case it was a soil borne decease. I have used at both the recommended dose and even at double the dose the following products and additives with no results: Both water soluble 20-20-20 with minors, and premium brand slow release fertilizers with minor elements. In addition I have added to the soil, Ironite in a chelated form, Milorganite, Magnesium Sulfate aka Epson Salts, and Azomite granulated broad spectrum re-mineralizer. I have also used minor elements in sprays (Souther AG Chelated Citrus nutritional spray), and SUPERthrive plant vitamins. I have also used the following fungicides in sprays or soil drenches or a combination thereof: Dithane M-45, Captan, CuPRO, Southern AG Neutral Copper Fungicide, Southern AG Liquid Copper Fungicide, Bonide Complete Fruit tree Spray, and Cleary 3336f systemic fungicide. Believe me when I say that nothing has worked so far. If you are determined on trying something, then by all means try something different then I already have and report your findings. You may want to refer to the fungicide mode of action table to make sure you are not using products blindly that do the exact same thing as the previous one applied. The article below teaches you about this. Here is a link that might be useful: Fungicide mode of action information

Squam , thanks for the offer I will be contacting you soon:) Well now I am confused too. The mango was shaped like the Carrie but had more of color of the Duncan. It was sweet , smooth, mango-y taste. My friend can't fine the tag. Looks like I MUST get one of each :) This has taught me a lesson. I am writing down the names of ALL my plants I have in my yard. I remember now , but what about latter on ? Thanks for everybody's input. D`Ann PS My Nam Doc Mia was tasty in a " nice fruit" sorta way ,so it is a keeper. But I like a stronger taste.
