Weekend's growth and new development.

 Young (bent) has shown big growth over the weekend!

 the other Young too.

 Valencia Pride going well.

 Glenn's leaves are crowding each other.

 Nice elongation happening with Lancetilla's young branches.

 Mysteriously Pickering is not pushing growth nearer its top but only around the bottom.
[Update]: I found out that a semi-circle of rotted wood is what is causing the growth so low on the stem. The rot is acting like bark notching. So, I used a sharp knife and scraped away the blackened bark and sprayed with Exel fungicide. I might have to prune it down. Right now it looks like Julie #1. Will posts pics of it next time.

 Graham is now going for it.

 Southern Blush new leaves getting bigger.

Julie #1 flushing. I am keeping an eye for any spider-mites. She needs new bigger leaves.

I did find spider-mites on Manila. Good thing I moved Julie away. I sprayed Manila down with insecticidal soap.

Continued Growth!

Straight Young/Tebow buds are swelling.

This one too.

Valencia Pride's growth. I am hoping the notches I made on her branches will induce lower branching.

Bushy Glenn. Looks like a 'lion's tail'.

Lancetilla doing real well.

Pickering is showing definite growth. I notice shoots forming at the graft-line. This I learned is caused by stress. Julie #1 did the same thing. I was worried it was at death's door.

Carrie appears to be putting out two shoots. I was hoping for more but can't complain, as long as it survives.

Southern Blush, also no longer looking like its at death's door. Hurray.

Julie #1 is struggling. I am seeing some attempts at new leaves.

Manila preparing for new flush of leaves.

Clean up pruning.

Southern Blush, with a messy prune. I cut off the black parts but found some rot and I scrapped it out with a utility knife. The brown powder is cinnamon. I unfortunately knocked off its last leaf. I hope it doesn't need it now. Doh.

Pickering's top is dying. I'm guessing its in response to the absence of leaves. I read that fruit trees will abort branches that don't have photosynthesizing leaves (which explains a lot about my past trees). I'm still hoping that shoots will grow in the upper nodes and stop the downward die-back.

Pruned off the extra stub on Lancetilla. Unlike the other guys, it was still green and healthy. But to be safe, I pruned it according to what I read online.

Minor pruning on VP. I know understand why its other two branches died back; they didn't have leaves.

I tried to prune off the top stub on Glenn but couldn't get much because of fear of damaging the new growth. Like some of the others, its stub was turning black; although not as much.

Here is little original Julie. One of her tiny branch is dying back because it had no leaves. I am hoping the longer daylight hours will encourage growth.

Weekend growth

 Valencia Pride's growth over the weekend.

Glenn now looks like a palm tree or a dust mop.

Hurray, Pickering is pushing growth.

Lancetilla is good. 

 'Young' mangoes trying to push out growth slowly.

  

Carrie making effort. 

Hurray for Southern Blush's heroic buds!

The growth continues…

 

Glenn doing well.

 

Valencia Pride also good.

 

Lancetilla following in third place. Its the only pruned tree that is showing some sort of growth all along the length of the stem. Interesting.

Southern Blush also encouraging. That rotten prune-cut is freaking me out a bit though.

Naked without leaves, Pickering is trying to create leaves; I hope.

More pics

 Glenn

 Not much going on with Graham.

 Southern Blush

 Carrie maybe pushing growth?

Lancetilla 

Had to prune Pickering some more as the top was rotting. He's also seeping a resin. I'm worried it might have gummosis? Will have to spray with fungicide and keep checking on him. 

Three different views of Valencia Pride's shoots. 

Young (aka Tebow) doing good.
