Hi There, Most arilines will let you carry on two carry ons when traveling.. If you plan on checking a bag, you can place some cuttings in there. ( or bare rooted treess..) If you decide to carry on your luggage (rollerboard) then you could carry on a large bag that you can carry on top of your rollerboard. like the flight crew use. You could find a good solid bag that it large enough to place a few one gallon trees in the containers and carry them on pretty easily (probably three) I would also wrap up the leaves to allow more space.. If you bare root them like Andrew did, you coud get more into the carry on bag. Personally and Professionally..LOL since i work on the plane...you won't be able to carry on many trees in five gallon conainers and find a place to store them. I wish it was possible, but...honestly you might have a huge problem.. Just wanted to let you know in advance... I would stick to one gallon... If you dont want to root prune..i would guess three. Most other members know that i carried lots of cuttings on the plane from CA to VA. I had lots of people looking at me because i looked like a lady with a bunch of huge sticks. When i had to store them in the overhead, i had to take some of the "Antlers" out and relocate them in the space above my head. I usually dont give an eye to others when they place things next to mine, but this time i was so protective of those babies.. My DH just looked out the window and smiled while i "worked" with the other passengers. I wasnt in uniform, so i could give the look... LOL Good Luck!!! Let us know what you find.. You can always pick out five gallon containers and have Jon mail them to you!!! Remember... Extra luggage can cost an extra $ per bag... Take care, Laura

Looks like bindweed (Convolvulus spp.).

Some people are collectors of handguns. They've had to have had them registered for well over 50 years. There are strict rules as to the security with which they are stored. If they want to take it/them to a shooting range, they need to get a permit to do so. There's been some controversy lately, because some such people have had their guns/collection stolen, and some of those guns were used by people who had bought them in the black market in murdering people. They say that when a gun has been used in one rather high rpfile, or several less so, murders, its price on the black market goes down. A few years ago they started a registry program for long guns, and many fought it. Others said that it seemed strange that people had no problem with registering cars, but resisted registering guns. It cost huge amounts of money - over a billion, some said closer to two billion - and there was a lot of controversy over that. Some of us said that we didn't see why that should cost an arm and a leg, for they'd had a registry of all of the handguns for over 50 years, so it shouldn't be too hard to set up a parallel program to register the long guns. A recently elected government dislikes that registry and is talking about scrapping it. A billion (or maybe closer to two) ... down a rathole. ole joyful

Hi seagel, Thanks for your response. The one thing I have learned in recent years about growing my Carrie and several other mango varieties is that the more I learn the more I don't know. I Googled Carrie mango tree with early buds and flowers and discovered that budding in November - December is not totally unheard of. I can say that the past few months that rain fall in the Palmbeach area has been slightly heavier than normally this time of year. What kind of rainfall have you had in th Orlando area? The last time I fertilized my trees was early October with a 4-10-2 fertilizer and we had more rain than usual. I'm just guessing, I really don't have a clue but I'm going to leave the buds and see what they turn in to. Are you going to bring your plants in this winter or do you bring them in only when you expect frost?
