Thanks 😆

@RichsTopGardening for sure. Just grafted more on where I had the fails. If they take, I'll hopefully have a nice balanced tree going nto next year.

@Mumin.Gardens thanks brotha. Me too. Collectively, we're gonna crack the code.

@ocneal near the Buena Park mall 15 miles from the ocean and no issues with anthracnose. Only issue here is PM whicg is one of the reasons I'm selecting for later season varieties and varieties that still hold fruits even with PM. Water young trees a lot more than older trees, but mango trees generally don't need a lot of water , especially if you mulch. I order budwood in summer when mangos start to push new growth. If you start to see buds swelling in summer that's a good time to graft. The Glenn doesn't do well here because it's prone to PM and is an early season mango. You can still fruit it but it's more trouble than it's worth in my opinion. I do no special care except I protect young green trunks from the sun and wind. No spraying anything or even fertilizing. I continually mulch and water about once a week when the tree is actively growing. I don't water in winter either. Mulch Mulch Mulch.

@ocneal you can check out the The Graftman channel where he did a tour and I rant for a while about my practices and the logic behind them.

@Mumin.Gardens thanks bro

@@tinyjungle_ those grafts on the glenn are looking good, I’m still waiting for mine to bud out.

Check out the description for a previous tour done by AJ the Graftman. I name everything

Awesome Rich. We love the feel of it and it's only going to get better. Glad you like it.

Thank you. Maybe 4 years. Remind your friend that any tree only gets as big as you let it.

@@tinyjungle_ great advice!

Thanks G

What a difference a month makes👊🏼

Yes. AJ the Graftman did a full tour a month ago, so I thought it would be interesting to show how fast things change when the summer heat kicks in.

@tinyjungle_ that's awesome

Love this, front yard looking 🔥. Looking forward to the backyard update

Thx man. Funny we both have Glenns that are about the same age, have experienced the same issues and kind of have the same goals. Pretty cool we can follow each others journey.

@@tinyjungle_ yeah it is funny, but it’s also awesome, we can learn from each others videos 😆

Appreciate the help Richard

if you haven't looked into it... do yourself a favor... it's absolutely fascinating .... Look up Graham Hancock's reading of Thot's Prophecy

It's a meme. Relax. I'm not monetized.

The quickness to be critical and judgemental is wiiiiiiiiilder.

At this point, i'm just hoping it somehow becomes parasitic and can benefit from the other plants around it. Zero green at all so far. I'm considering transplanting it in with other plants already.

Thanks G. Now to graft a more vigorous late season veriety because these Glenn fruit are super small here.

Thanks Rich. Only wish it made fruit bigger than a medium sized lemon. I've never fertilized it. Just lots and lots of much. It would be considerably bigger if I didn't try to use Florida tipping practices the first several years. Now I only do major pruning one time a year when I harvest the fruits. The late summer early fall flush seems to be sufficient. Now I want to graft a top tier variety that's a little more vigorous. Would love to put some size on this tree so I can get good fruit production.

Yes, I think the Florida tipping practice here is a horrible idea on younger trees. I think your plant is at a great size to get full size fruits. PM and fungal issues are likely hampering that. What varieties are you growing so far?

@RichsTopGardening right now I only have the Glenn and three manila seedlings in the ground. I do have a small collection of other seedlings like sweet tart, cotton candy and ataulfo. I've lost a handful of florida grafted varieties over the years. Orange sherbet, Sugarloaf, Coconut cream, Valencia pride.

@tinyjungle_ reach out to me next season in late spring or summer. I'll take a few glenn scions for a scion swap. There are some varieties i have in mind that may fit the bill for what u want depending on taste preference. It will be a good experiment in your area.

@RichsTopGardening Sounds like a plan Rich. I aappreciate the offer. Sounds very interesting.
