PT, that sounds like way too much watering. I water every 10 days in the spring and every 5 in the summer, but I'm using basin irrigation.

I had the same question about apples and at the last year fall AZRFG plant sale they had a speaker (Kevin Hauser, Kuffel Creek Apple Nursery) on apples and gave the run down on growing apples in a war ...

The top four apples in my orchard (in central Scottsdale) for production are Golden Dorsett, Anna, Ein Sheimer, and Tropic Sweet (from Florida) on M111. Ein Sheimer is a particularly lousy apple here ...

You may want to contact the nursery out in Florida and find out what the rootstock is -- or just spend $20 and buy a seedling Manila mango from Lowes. When those freeze, you get Manilas coming back, ...
