MORE ROOTS - FASTER GROWTH - MORE FRUIT
If you know, do grass clippings also mean more pups?

Grass clippings are less costly than ferts, improves soil health, holds more moisture,

are less dense which promotes faster root growth, and produces larger bunches in less time.

The only negative I can see is that it's more labor intensive than throwing some ferts on the ground.
I'm a cheap gardener which makes purchasing fertilizer impractical. (I do keep generic MG around just in case.) I raised wonderful gardens in pure leaf mulch for many years so I know that using only one type compost works. I didn't realize grass would also.

Why special? Has it fruited yet and what's it like?

This year I'm expecting fruit from the Cogshall, Pickering, Mallika, Sweet Tart, Nam Doc Mai and Glenn. Can't wait!!!!

Has it fruited yet and what's it like?

It's the first bloom and I really didn't examine it that closely, but if it doesn't have fruit it will shortly.


This year I'm expecting fruit from the Cogshall, Pickering, Mallika, Sweet Tart, Nam Doc Mai and Glenn.

Are these all on one tree or are they individual?
All individual trees. Will be grafting budwood from some of them onto the biggest - Cogshall and Sweet tart. Definitely not the Glenn. Too vigorous to plant at my house. Looking for a stewardship neighbor. They get the tree free, planted at their place, and I get half the fruit. We'll see.

Almost forgot - have seedling trees of Simmons, Young, Zill, Sensation, Kent and Piņa Colada.

Absolutely! I just brought home a couple of the first mangos that show up in FL Latin supermkts. Label says from Peru. The decent complex flavor is screwed up by the refrig storage, but when it ripens in 9-12 days at home I get to eat a friggin mango!!! In March!!!

Soon the Atalufo and Madame Frances Haitian mangos will show and I'll eat them too. Astringent plus sweet is fine by me.

Fiber? --- that's what toothpicks are for.

However ----- the Tommy Atkins go in the traps for baits. Gotta draw the line somewhere. lol
