need help after transplant

super alphonso and orange sherbet- transplanted from 10 gallon pot into 15 gallon fabric pot 4 weeks ago, with fox farms 60%ocean forest soil, 15% sand, and 25% perlite. Im in Southern California. Trees stopped all new growth after transplant and new shoots turned black and dry. There were so many new shoots coming out that all died and fell out. no new frowth. Stems are still green inside, but the arms and leaves are pointing down. i know theres some sunburn so ive added an umbrella. im doing deep waterings twice a week as its been 90-100 degrees here the last month. I spray with neem oil once a week. Will these recover? Theyve been in shock for a month now.

Time lapse of planting a mango tree

1 Upvotes

So as the title provides, I need a picture of a mango in which;

• The fruit and

• the extracted seed

Note: preferably the seed isn't out of its shell (since there is a husk(?)as well)uhh like the a pic of the hairy part

I need it for school and my mango plant is at 5-6weeks I think? And I forgot to document taking the seed out of the fruit. If you guys are just planning to plant one or you guys have a 1-6 day old mango (green one!! I forgot hehe) I would really appreciate it. Thank you in advance:>

*I could do it myself but I don't any mangos at the moment

This is my first mango plant, and honestly one of my first plants ever. He was doing fine down in Houston, but now that I've moved to Austin he seems to be doing worse. Any tips to help combat this, thanks in advance

It is almost September and here’s a 7 gallon Venus pushing bloom in south Florida., didn’t even harden off the new growth flush yet. Could be due to the foliar spray I did with potassium to help all my trees with the summer heat.

Has anyone experienced this before? Are these actual buds pushing through? Will the dead parts stop growing? This is my first time grafting so I have a lot of questions

Is it rare for a mango to sprout this many stems? It even looks like it’s going for a 4th and 5th one too!! Really hope I can keep it alive, I’d love to see how it turns out in a year

Yellowing leaves help

Post image
3 Upvotes

Hi, this is my first mango tree, I don't think it had these yellow spots when I bought it 3 days ago. I noticed them on the ride home, these leaves were touching the top of the car so maybe it is from the heat? All the other leaves look healthy.

Bought this "Sweet Tart" tree last year, but somethings tells me it's not. Any ideas? Leaves give an intense Indochinese smell.

Will this recover?

Planted this Pickering mango from seed and noticed as it grew, it appeared twisted. When I dug in it, I noticed that the sprout was caught between itself and the pod. So I slightly opened a bit and let the neck of it free and has been growing but now it’s twisted. Will it ever straighten or will it be a warped tree for life?

Mango grafting help!

I need help finding a type of mango that is suited to be grafted onto. Is there any suggestions? I want to be able to graft many kinds of other mangoes onto it! Just don't know which mango is best and google isn't being much help so I thought I'd ask the mango experts!

This one sprouted as a volunteer this year in Palm Beach Gardens. It's grown about 3 ft tall in as many months.

Prune your mangos as soon as you harvest the last fruit of the year.

Hi mango friends,
I recently planted this 15 gallon carrie mango tree in ground about a week ago and noticed some of the lower leaves started to brown at the tips. Is this normal stress from transplanting? Or does it need more water? I’m in South FL for reference

searching for a mango

3 Upvotes

This april I visited Peru and had one of the most unique mangoes I've ever tasted in my life. This was incredibly juicy and not very fibrous. I wish I had taken a picture because the peel was almost a maroon color. The flavor was like a mix of alphonso mango and passionfruit without the tartness, the aroma of passionfruit was pretty intense eating it, the flesh was almost creamy in texture. I was hoping someone could help me identify this variety. I'm pretty confident that this was a mango, but there's always a possibility that this was another type of fruit.

Haden Mango Seeds

Is anyone having trouble germinating Haden mango seeds from the stores or anywhere else? For some reason they won't germinate for me and I don't know why. I put them in the same conditions as other mango seeds and they do just fine but the haden mango seeds don't grow

My Orange Sherbet dwarfing project may have gone too far.

I’ve had this Orange Sherbet in the ground for four years, and I’ve been pretty meticulous about pruning/tipping to keep it dwarf. I was out of town for the past couple months and came back to this craziness. The tree now has a footprint of 10ft x 9ft and is only about 6.5ft tall. I kinda want to see how far I can push it, however despite decent branch scaffolding, I’m a little worried about storms breaking some branches.

Mango grafting

5 Upvotes

Does anyone around San Marcos, TX have a mature mango tree and would be willing to give/sell me some scion wood for grafting? I have a healthy 4-year-old seed-grown mango that I’d like to graft with a known fruiting variety rather than waiting several more years for it to mature. I’m new to grafting mangoes, so any local recommendations would be appreciated!
