Re: Mangos
 

Can't comment on the first part....could be a number of things.

But as far as fruit goes, they usually have to be around 5 to 7 years old before they fruit if they're grown from seed. If they're grafted they'll often try to fruit in their first year.

#1: sounds like overwatering

#2: Squam256 hit it right on the nose.

Re: Mangos
 

I don't think its over watering Richard i think it might be fungus,as soon as i have eaten a mango i wash the seed with normal tap water then leave it to dry,until the next day which i then pot it in normal compost.There might be bacteria left on the seed.

Re: Mangos
 

When you follow Dr. Campbell's protocol for planting, tipping, fertilization and watering you should have the best mango production utilizing less space than the conventional method. BTW one cultivar that should be grown is the Cuban San Felipe. It is like a Haden on steroids without the Haden problems.

Re: Mangos
 

SoBe, your tree appears to have anthracnose fungus (the blackspots you see on the leaves). You might want to consider spraying your tree/flowers with copper to prevent the anthracnose from limiting your fruit production.

Re: Mangos
 

Hey Squam256 ! Give us some more info in

Member Introductions, Social Announcements & Good Wishes - Bananas.org

That breakfast of champions thing ... a bit different than what Kurt Vonnegut wrote about!

Re: Mangos

Re: Mangos
 

Sobe, looks great. I see lots of panicles and flowers, you should have a nice crop this season.

Re: Mangos
 

Sobe,those burn leaves looks like salt burn.that happen when is to much salt in the soil because to much fertilizer.i suggest you to do a deep irrigation(just one ) water the tree around the drip line(stay away from the trunk with the water)for about 15 min to flush the salts from the soil and do fertilize again after u pick all ur mangoes.How much have u been fertilizing?

Re: Mangos
 

i mean -dont fertilize again-after....

Re: Mangos
 

I think the mangos are sick too.
