Sorry, pugging a tree means severing the trunk below all of the branches. The tree typically responds with new growth.

I know it’s too late now but in south florida, Kesar makes a great replacement to Alphonso, much better performance here and a delicious fruit (Alphonso performs horribly here). But if you are really set on the Citrus flavor mangoes, Orange Sherbet is a much better performer in South Florida than its sibling Lemon Zest (who’s known for also being extremely finicky here). Unless you plan on spraying a lot of copper and sulfur, I would steer clear of the lemon zest and go with either orange sherbet (or Kesar if you still want Indian mango flavor)

Thanks for the advice. I have an OS but the best mango I’ve ever tasted was a a LZ grown in the same temp zone that I’m in. Of the ten scions, two survived. I’m aware zone 9 is better for LZ.

Lemon Zest is a nice upgrade

Agreed. I’ve had one for years that has remained sickly. I fear LZ prefers zone 9 over 10. I also planted a 3 gallon LZ to improve my odds of success.
