Did you grow it from seed? Ive had many getting off to a wonderful start in my worm farm but thought that they wouldnt do here in Warragul. ive got one thats come up with the compost from the worm farm in my large mint pot. think I'll just keep it all well fed and see what happens .

Yes, it is grown from seed. I think they should also survive in Warragul. Cheers!

thanks Linton, Ive certainly got nothing to lose by trying.

Lovely picture Fred. Is there a secret to getting more fruits from my mango trees?

I am no green thumb - prune the trees after fruiting [for manageable size] - are under irrigation three times a week - but after the lorikeets and the fruit bats, we do seem to get a few mangos

Mango - Alfonso (Grafted) ^7/10

Comments: -

Good looking wide-spreading tree. Supposed to be one of the favourite mango varieties in India. Have had a few fruit in 2017. Not as tasty as my other mango varieties, but will check taste in next few seasons before giving a verdict. Susceptible to disease so got very few fruits.

Any luck with fruit set?

Yes, had some fruit set last year but only 3 mangoes. The Sydney weather this Spring has been good so expect to get more fruit staying on the tree.

Hey BJ, can I ask how big your Alison Red is, assuming it's still in the pot? Guessing you have it in the pot to restrict it's size?

Mango - Bowen (Seedling) ^10/10

Comments: -

Bought a couple of years ago, i protected it in winter for the first couple of seasons but now its in a large pot outside fully exposed during winter and it does fine.

Last season it flowered and a few fruits set but dropped them shortly after. Its a young tree though so its common for that to happen so im not worried. So far im really happy with how its grown. Everyone told me it would not be able to survive here and will die during its first winter.

How's the mango going

Mango - Calypso (Seedling) ^8/10

Comments: -

This mango is a Calypso seedling I planted in 2012. It has a very small and compact growth habit and is just over a meter tall at 7 years old. I transplanted it into a 130L pot thinking that it was root bound in its original 60L pot only to discover that it had a very small root system and was nowhere near filling its original pot. This probably explains its dwarf growth habit.

this is the only mango that currently grows in my yard that doesn%u2019t require any spraying of fungicides to control anthracnose. It seems to have a very high natural resistance to this disease. It has just started flowering in 2019 and has set many fruit. Hopefully they will hang on till maturity and taste at least as good as the original Calypso.

Despite No fertilizer commitment, i did put a good handful of Neutrog Gyganic .

Hi Sandy where did you get the Chausa from? Do you sell scions/budwood?

i got from this nursrey https://www.tropicalplanetnursery.com/product-page/mango-chanunsa

Mango - Honeygold (Seedling) ^10/10

Comments: -

Growing it from seed which is polyembryonic so expect it to come true. Got 2 mangoes in 2017 - thin skin, beautiful colour, excellent taste.

Has suffered leaf burn in heat wave conditions in Sydney over 40 degrees.

Mango - Mahachanok/King Thai (Grafted) ^10/10

Comments: - This is the best tasting mango I have ever eaten - either here or overseas etc. It's incredible. A lovely complex flavour that is sweet but has this addictive sub-acid undercurrent to it's flavour profile. I am crazy for them. Little fibre, super flat seed - so very large flesh-seed ratio. If you love mangoes then do yourself a favour and plant this one - you won't regret it. The tree is also a semi dwarf type - which is very handy. 
It flowers all winter long down here - but only sets fruit once the rains have stopped in mid Spring really. It sets quite a lot of fruit and would imagine that it must set far more in a warmer and drier climate than ours.
I still haven't got my head around the timing of fertilising - in our climate. This selection might be a little more sensitive to boron deficiency though I think - which is a soil-mobile element that can leach from fast draining soils - especially if overwatered (either by heavy rains or retic) I will be adding a very small amount boron at the start of spring, in future, having had problems with insufficiency this spring which caused all the first fruits to fail to thrive and grow,  and then crack open.

Planted: 2014

Height 3 metres

Growing: In the Ground

First Fruited: 3 Years from purchase in pot

Sun/Shade: Medium Sun

Pollination: Self Pollination

Fertiliser or Organics Used: Balanced Acid lovers alternating with slow release organic chook manure pellets. Little and often. Some sulphur in early spring, iron sulphate in winter occasionally.

Question: If I remove the early flowers I get a second flush of flowers at a better time later in spring - but these second flower flushes look different - are they just as productive?

Comments

On Bowen mango, we usually lose the flowers in Spring due to anthracnose. They turn brown and drop off. Do you get this problem with the Mahachanok?

MANGO - NAM DOC MAI Mangifera indica ^10/10

Comments: -

Always wanted a mango tree, unfortunatley i live in Adelaide and so need a more cold tolerant variety- so bought this MANGO - NAM DOC MAI Mangifera indica from  Daley's

  - it is a grafted variety from Daley's so i hope to see fruit on the tree sooner than if grown from seed, but all in all it is performing very well and as you can see it has just finished putting out a new flush of growth ( Mango is 10 weeks old), i also have another species of mango (R2E2) i think thats the name ...not sure but it's also doing very well in the Adelaide climate.

Mango - seedling (Seedling) ^9/10

Comments: -

I forgot to label it so I can't remember what type of mango it is ( I'm hopeless like that). I planted it as a seed from a mango I bought from the supermarket 3 years ago.  It started off on my kitchen window ledge and is currently in the green house. It is doing great.  I currently have a few more seeds in production.
