Mango Trees Freeze Damage Update(Tons of Pictures)
Comments (29)or your responses so far. i apologise for posting update photoes so late. My nam doc mai, as you gentleman have previously said has started new growth. I decidede to transplant it from pot to garden soil. here it is how it looks. One problem though is that the pugged branches still look touched from some kind of athracnose. Can you guys be kind to help me deal with that or should i just leave it as new shoots are coming out? any reply is appreciated>...See MoreSome advice on a limitate selection of mangos for potted growing
Comments (13)@mullennium: i have read on this board about this Timotayo. I must admit, i'm really interested in it. I seriusly doubt, anyway, that i'll be able to bring it in europe. If mangos were bananas, with a big corm able to withstand some weeks out of the ground, maybe i standed a chance. But import permits, the risk of having the plants blocked in some office at the customs, without forgetting the HUGE shipping cost (i'm not sure if i can thell here how much a package from PIN costs to be sent in europe - but trust me, my jaw dropped when i saw how much it cost - i think it costs so much for the simple reason that they must have - at the FedEx - a strict schedule) have completly discouraged me. Anyway don't you think that is a pretty funny fact? I wonder why nobody has tried this before, i mean, breeding for frost resistance. Apparently seems a good strategy for a nursery, because it expands its potential market. Some time ago i heard that in india, in cold villages close to the mountains, there are mangos grown in places were apparently they couldn't grow. They are gown there not for fruits but for they leaves and their use on religious ceremonies. They are the result of some kind of selection. The day that someone will start to get some of these plants and start a breeding program for hardiness in mangos we will have some surprises i guess. I don't think anyway it will be anytime soon....See MoreSeedling mango tree success in Jacksonville FL!
Comments (63)I got to meet mostro by chance, when I spotted the tops of his mango trees when I was driving by his neighborhood. Always been told that I'm just wasting my money planting mango trees here in Jax. So when I saw the mango trees, I got really curious and went to ask about it. He's a very nice guy, allowed me to check out the trees and answered all my questions. His mango trees are beautiful and productive. I wish I had my phone when I was there to take a couple of pics to show here. I didn't know about this forum until after I met him. I ran into this discussion (and recognize the pics) doing research if there was other people in Jax that has mango trees and what soil is best for keeping mango trees in pots. I'll take pics next time I go talk to him to ask for his process on protecting the trees when it gets cold as I have 2 mango plants now. Mallika & Kesar :)...See MoreMango Lovers - Alphonso mango
Comments (138)No big leaves on mine this year either. I did have anthracnose, though, and pretty bad for awhile: I had the tree inside a round plastic greenhouse and leaving the door open during the daytime was not enough. There were I think eight velcroed openings above but I'm too short to reach them. I think my 6'8" husband's almost too short: you have to lean over the curve of the thing and the velcro was so strong that the one time we tried, the handle you pull on for it tore off. To be fair, it was a few years old then. The problem was that water condensed on the inside of it enough to soak towels as I wiped it down every day, and the tree took a hit in that humidity. And yet you had to water it in winter because rain didn't make it in. The door tore and the company replaced the whole thing but then the pandemic hit; the whole reason for buying it was so I could go off and visit my small grandkids, but since we weren't going anywhere we took it down and I went back to my old method of multiple layers of frost covers on cold nights. So those were the drawbacks of that greenhouse--and yet. It made it so we could travel and not worry about losing fruit or the tree itself to the cold while we were gone. It's across the yard from the house, so, no radiant heat to help out there, and incandescent Christmas lights help a lot but you have to hold that heat in. The tree gradually recovered. We still have the unopened replacement greenhouse at the ready....See Morehmhausman
