This is the easy time of year for avocados. Summer is when they usually take a beating. Make sure you plant it were it will get afternoon shade and never never never fertilize your tree with anything other than some leaf mulch from your yard. I don't even use the compost from HD because it has gypsum in it.
Mangoes are easier. They take full sun well. Freezes in the winter are the danger for mangoes. I have found grafted mangoes to be harder to grow because they grow much more slowly. The polyembryonic seedlings like the Manilas are easier to grow and still true to type.
Check out the articles in the website for more info. |
