I had the most delicious mangoes shipped to me last season. Since I lived in Jamaica in my very early years, to enjoy those special mangoes 60 years later is an experience I will never forget. Looking forward to having some shipped again in the 2024 season.

@@TropicalAcresFarms Dang that sounds like a keitt. Bummer. For me it's been an awesome tree: consistent production, compact growth, awesome flavor. One thing i have noted is that MBBS incidence in my orchard seems to have declined dramatically in the past year or two. In one of Paul's interviews, Gary Zill was mentioning something similar.

@TropicalAcresFarms 10 ай бұрын

@@jeffhagen4202We’ve seen a decline too, owing largely to topworking out the worst offenders which reduces pathogen levels plus a strong control program . We broadly speculate that the varieties being planted more frequently in recent years in SFL coincidentally being more resistant varieties, and the decline in planting of older susceptible varieties like Kent, Keitt Haden etc, has contributed as well.

When is the last time you should tip prune for a tree to be able to produce next year ? Like sweet tart , what’s the latest to prune and still be able to fruit next year?

@TropicalAcresFarms 10 ай бұрын

We recommend that you don’t tip prune after August, and for a variety like Sweet Tart that needs very mature stems you might not want to tip prune beyond the first week of August.

@NoVaCitrusGrower 10 ай бұрын

Which varieties were most affected by the excessive rainfall? And what is the best time of year for someone in the north to order a box of mangoes, if I could only order one box? Are mid-season varieties more reliable in terms of flavor?

@TropicalAcresFarms 10 ай бұрын

Two that stood out in terms of having their flavor impacted almost their entire seasons were Piña Colada and Pineapple Pleasure. Extremely popular varieties that are normally outstanding but they only had a few fruit that tasted right , even once the rain relaxed some. Best month for availability is usually June

Hey Alex, I'm going to be relocating to the vero beach area in the next coupleof months. I currently have about 8 mango trees in my yard. They are about 2 years old. I did get fruits from about 4 of them. Should i start thinking of removing them from the ground and putting them in pots before they start flowering. Also what type of dirt should i put in the pots.

@edwardroske1021 10 ай бұрын

I'm in Vero. It would be nice to have someone local to communicate with and trade fruit/trees/scions/etc. Message me if interested. I've heard you need to root prune and perhaps trim the canopy depending on the size before you transplant. I don't know how long before. Maybe a few weeks. But hopefully someone else can chime in. Use a well draining soil for container growing.

At that age they usually transplant pretty well. You might consider root-pruning them by digging out a quadrant at a time over the span of 2 months or so before digging them out, and the. You won’t have to prune them before extracting. But if you do it all at once you’ll want to trim the canopy back a nice chunk before transplanting. Make sure to keep the roots moist in The process because they can dry out quickly.

Can we air layer turpentine branches and then use them as rootstocks?

@TropicalAcresFarms 8 ай бұрын

You could but that would be rather cumbersome compared to just planting turpentine seeds and having graftable stocks within a few months.

Are too many male flowers a problem with Sugarloaf, or is that only the case with very young trees?

@TropicalAcresFarms 10 ай бұрын

It can linger as an issue even as the tree gets older but the problem tends to subside some with age. Even older Edward and Carrie trees can come out disproportionately male depending on what they think about the pre bloom temperatures.

@TropicalAcresFarms 10 ай бұрын

We recommend a well-draining mix for mangos and to avoid really rich media. Our own potting soil is about a third coarse sand, a third pine bark and a third Florida peat, but you don’t have to use precisely that. We do suggest 30% (or more) coarse sand though.
