Very well..have many fruits,the branches are bending. One prob..they both (MANILA and ATAULFO) put 100% of their energy into the whole fruiting thing.Hence,they have not flushed any new growth.
I'm no spring chicken Dave,and I'm not going to prune off flowers until these are 20' bushy trees...so let them do their thing and I starting in LATE August should be picking MANGOES.
Next winter on old growth just has to be.

When you live here...you need a garden to calm ya. What an expensive city of crooks!

Re: Mangoes?

Super! Would love to see photos of them.

MANGO.

Just a fast photo as the sun goes down. This is Ataulfo and shows one branch and it has five more like this on a 5' tall little tree. 5' in six years from seed..pretty good for the bay area. No comparison to hot climates.
In back is a 12'-14' Manila in the ground 8 years now. Just a stick back then. Not even knee height. It has fruit..but as of right now the Ataulfo fruit look a little more sizable.
It ain't Florida..but trying.

Morer tomorrow,in sun and showing some more abundance

Re: Mangoes today-----

I never thought the day would come where getting the tree's in would make the fruit seem so small. For years the tree's were small and any fruit looked sizable in photos.
They wont be full sized until late August at the earliest.

Late August is early..and then into September. We've hit a really cool July here Will. Lucky to see 75f now. Sunny though.

Re: MANGO.

I wonder if there's any hope of getting an Ataulfo seedling to fruit in a pot. It seems pretty well adapted to pot culture, although it's a rather uncompact grower.
