You absolutely do NOT NEED TO GRAFT THE TREE TO PRODUCE FRUIT! That is the most uneducated thing I’ve read all morning so far. Grafting will keep it much smaller than a tree that is allowed to grow naturally. Grafting will make it push out fruit during its 3rd to 4th year of life resulting in it not growing to the possible 110 feet and yielding about half as much fruit As a naturally grown ungrafted tree. A fruit tree will start to produce on its own in 5 to 8 years average. Mango trees have make and female flowers which allow to them to produce fruits without the need for grafting. A full grown naturally grown mango tree can put out as much as 330 pounds of mangoes but a grafted tree will only put out about half of that. Mango trees grow in spurts. hope this helps. Also they need at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day and you do not need to water excessively . When you stick your finger into the soil and it’s dry then it’s time to water. Your soil should remain moist and damp but not saturated.

No matter, Elmer, he will lie about it, witnesses or no, and then lie about the lie. That is why personal loyalty - to him, not to the USA - is his #1 criteria in his staff, cabinet and administration. I'm treading into Hot Topics territory so I will desist.

Jan, lol! Your list for this upcoming spring is so inspiring! What kind of litchi do you want? I heard sweetheart are the best! Here is an update on my exotic fruit trees in case it can help you to choose: My soursop, sugar apple and starfruit finally went dormant. They lose all their leaves and I hope that it doesn’t mean that they are dying. Oh no! My guava trees are the thirstiest trees even in winter! They are only happy when I water them every other day! The jaboticaba doesn’t seem to understand that he’s in the middle of winter in Canada because he’s still growing without any leaves drop. I am amazed! Litchi, longan, avocado, mango and sapodilla stop growing bur they seem alright Oh the jackfruit really doesn’t like my temperature. Maybe it’s colder than what he likes (45 to 50 during the night) Jan, I hope that you will love your new aerogarden as much as I love mine! My lettuce grows very fast in there! Brian, I hope that you are recovering well from your cold. I am slowly getting better as well. Today, I noticed that the sun set a little before 5pm! Just one more month and the worse of winter will be over. Oh I hope that March will not bring any surprise loll. Mike! I hope that things are getting better for you! Oh lVanda are beautiful don’t you thing? They are very easy to take care of when they are growing in a vase. Mike, I just have one of my veitchana masdevallia in bloom right now and I will try to post a picture for you tomorrow. The folor is just insane!

@ joyfulguy, at the current time, it is NOT recommended. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/vaccine-benefits/facts.html "FACT: People who have gotten sick with COVID-19 may still benefit from getting vaccinated Due to the severe health risks associated with COVID-19 and the fact that re-infection with COVID-19 is possible, people may be advised to get a COVID-19 vaccine even if they have been sick with COVID-19 before. At this time, experts do not know how long someone is protected from getting sick again after recovering from COVID-19. The immunity someone gains from having an infection, called natural immunity, varies from person to person. Some early evidence suggests natural immunity may not last very long. We won’t know how long immunity produced by vaccination lasts until we have a vaccine and more data on how well it works. Both natural immunity and vaccine-induced immunity are important aspects of COVID-19 that experts are trying to learn more about, and CDC will keep the public informed as new evidence becomes available."
