Backyard California Mango Trees Update

[@Adia.F]

Subscribing bc you’re in my area I believe and I like to see what ppl in my area/zone are growing as I’m a new gardener. I’m in the ranch Cucamonga area.

[@backyardorcharddreams]

You are near by. Thanks for the sub and great to have you onboard.

The fruit trees🌴 are looking 👀 good. please tell the family I said hello 👋🏿 😁👩🏾‍🦲😀

[@backyardorcharddreams]

Thank you so much. We were speaking about you last weekend. Will do and hope you're doing well!

Would removing the flowers from the younger mango trees prevent the growth issues? Like when your lettuce bolts aka goes to seed or your herbs even

[@backyardorcharddreams]

What I've heard is if you remove the flowers, the tree will try to produce more. What's recommended is let it fruit but remove them once they get to be around nickel to downsize.

I only plant seedling mango trees, I gave up on planting grafted mango trees after killing a bunch of them. My seedlings grow like weeds in southern California.

[@backyardorcharddreams]

That definitely seems like the way to go. Thx for sharing.

What USDA or Sunset zone are you in?

[@backyardorcharddreams]

Zone 9

[@AlanP_916]

I noticed your irrigation lines aren’t buried or covered by mulch. Do you notice if the sun damages them at all or degrade the material? Thanks!

[@backyardorcharddreams]

I rarely use them except when I travel for an extended time, but I don't notice any degradation.
