I have two young mango trees, free to interested party. One is about 3 feet tall, in pot. It's a ChocAnon. The other is a San Felipe, about six feet tall, in ground. If you dig it up, it's yours. Today or Sunday only. Dan Duprey dupreyd@bellsouth dot net

Thanks for the pictures! You have some very nice trees! Good luck with all of them...I have to say even though I have pugged several mango trees and have done it often...even for me, every time I have to pug one of my trees its always nerve racking,lol...you always feel like there's a chance it won't bounce back or take forever to see new growths (especially in potted plants) they recover much slower...its a very drastic thing to do but once they start growing...you can see the wait and apprehension is well worth it for the overall shape and size you're trying to achieve...Good luck to you!! Stan's advise on the lighting is a very sound one :o)

But... the odds would be against you, ken. White oaks are pretty compatible across their section, but the red/black group...not really reliably compatible, even on their own seedlings, and not at all on members of the white oak group. But... with some genera - or even families - you can get by...I've successfully grafted apple onto pear(not long lived, but successful for a few years), pear onto hawthorn (15 years and counting), plum and peach onto P.tomentosa(Nanking cherry), and quince has historically been used as a dwarfing understock for pear and medlar. Googling up 'shower tree'...it's Cassia fistula...not graft compatible with mango or avocado, so far as I'm aware...

There's a tropical fruit tree forum. Not sure how active it is though!
