Db starts with ... I bought this Kwan mango tree roughly 6-8 months back, it is small plant - just 2 ft tall. It didn't grow at all in first few months and started flowering in Dec. I removed all flowers when spike was around 30cm long. It flowered again straight way and set flower spike of 40cm long. I decided not to remove flowers until it set the pea-size fruit so that tree does not flower again. I let the 4-5 tiny fruits grow to 5-6cm long and then removed fruits thinking tree will not flower again (made yummy mango chutney of those tine fruits :) ).. Tree has now few new leaves but it is flowering again for the third time in this season, it has now even set tiny fruits.. What can I do to stop it flowering and put energy in new growth instead? I'm growing it in pot and have not given any P based fertilizers.. I have tried giving it dynamic lifter, powerfeed but its not putting energy in new growth. I hope it is the last time it is flowering in this season. | About the Author Db Brisbane 22nd February 2013 10:52am #UserID: 6427 Posts: 470 View All Db's Edible Fruit Trees |

Db says... BJ, both our trees looks exactly same then... How was the taste? This time I'll let mine fruit to full maturity, problem is it won't put on new growth during that time.. How was you Glenn mango this year? I didn't liked mine, it was full of turp.. May be something wrong with the potting mix, not sure.. If it remains same next year as well, I'll replace it with something else... | About the Author Db Brisbane 22nd February 2013 11:16am #UserID: 6427 Posts: 470 View All Db's Edible Fruit Trees |

Tommoz says... I too have a Kwan (grafted onto dwarfing rootstock) which I planted in Spring 2012. It is already about 1.5m and flowered profusely, the stems were an intense pink and attracted a lot of ants, but now it has faded and lost the small flowers. About 12 pea-sized fruits have set, and I am not sure whether it is smart to perhaps leave one and remove the rest. Would it be able to support a large fruit? Also, when will the fruit be ripe? Already end of Summer...

Thithi says... Wondering if anyone has eaten Kwan mango yet, green or ripe? How does it taste? And if you also ate nam doc Mai, how is NDM compared with Kwan? I loves NDM mango, Daley descriptions of Kwan mango give me impression that Kwan is better, disease resistant, larger fruit, cheaper to buy? Seem too good to be true,Wondering if there is a catch? | About the Author Thithi Deer park 18th August 2014 4:49pm #UserID: 10139 Posts: 193 View All Thithi's Edible Fruit Trees |
