Henry's Tips - Very healthy but have not fruited yet. Purchased from Daleys. August 2009: Some flowering activity recorded September 2009: Some growth recorded. Also observed tips of leaves becoming burnt / brown. Will stop cow manure fertilising and replace with fruit fertiliser. Will also water tree from rain water tank as salinity in town water may be suspect. All brown edged leaves are snipped off. September 08th, 2009: Disaster! Found one third of my tree on the ground; the possible work of cockatoos. Pruned and hope for the best. Applied sulphate of potash and watered in. Only rain water is used for this mango tree.
