@SleepyLizard

Renaldo, Keitt are considered late season and here in South Florida we pick them in august and September. not sure if that's the same where you live. another thing you can do is squeeze them and when they start to feel soft you can pick and let them soften the rest of the way on your kitchen counter.

@SleepyLizard
Жыл бұрын
the pot is large but I need to know how old the mango is. If it's mature then it won't need much water but if it's in its first 3-4 years it'll need more water.. as for new buds you gotta wait and see what happens over the next 90 days as we enter dormant period

Hi MEH, some varieties we start in May and others we wait until September but most of the varieties harvest in June and July. it's like a trickle in May then by mid August it's tapered off except for the handful of "late" varieties. My Keitt and Ford are late which it's nice to have fruit into September when everything else is picked clean.

Жыл бұрын
Jaded, you can try it and see what happens. I think you're right that it would look cool but two twisted stems are going to steal the nutrients from each other and each will only be half the size as if you allowed one stem to thicken naturally so I don't think you'll wind up with a stiffer stem.
