Julie #4 has new growth.

 One of the branches if showing growth.
I see what may be buds on the other branches but so far only one above.

Update March 11th

Compared to its other leaves, Julie #1 put out two new leaves that are the biggest so far. I'm hopin they don't drop off. The growth from the bottom seem the most "vigorous" while I am wondering about higher up doing not so well.
Lancetilla still alive and healthy. No signs of rot or spongy bark. Its leaf buds are pushing out so a good sign.
Graham
Glenn
'Young' (aka Tebow) looking good. Leaves hardening up a bit.
Pickering making another leaf. I hope its huge too.

Poor Southern Blush

I cut off all the spongy rotted wood. This is all that is left that looked healthy(?). I doubt she can survive but I still hope that somewhere around the base (above the graft-line) that a bud will appear. But like Edward it looks grim. I can't believe Southern Blush took such a dire turn so quickly!? I don't know if it has any more reserves to produce new leaves?

Mango status

Well, Southern Blush has problems. First it lost all its new leaves and the bark feels spongy. Probably some sort of rot. I'm not sure if all this was caused by under or over watering? Maybe both? If it manages to show growth, I'm gonna have to prune off all the rot/spongy bark areas.
Lancetilla lost all its new leaves too but there are still new buds and it has leaves for photosynthesis. So I feel more optimistic about its outcome.
Graham is flowering still and putting out new leaf buds.
Pickering has a huge leaf!
Worried that Glenn might be next to have water stress but so far looking good. Noticed dark spots on one of its twigs but... ?
 
Carrie's two flower panicles getting bigger. Wonder if it will fruit??

March 4th, 2011

 Southern Blush is wilting away, sadly. Probably from Anthracnose.?
 Lancetilla is down to one twig but that is dying too.
 Surprisingly, Graham is flowering and budding new growth.
 Carrie's flowers are getting bigger.
 Young/Tebow's leaves are getting larger.
 Young/Tebow's twin too.
 Glenn doing good.
Pickering's new leaf is huge.

Feb 28th photos

Lancetilla is having problems. I can't figure out why its aborting its young branches and leaves? I am guessing Anthracnose, lack of water, or simply some weird internal metabolic resource/nutrition allocation??
Southern Blush dropped two of its young branches but it kept four. Leaves look good. Weird dark "stains" on the new branches but so far no bad effects.
Young/Tebow mangoes coming along.
Carrie is flowering stil. I hope to get a mango; even if it taxes the little tree.
Graham is flowering also but I also see leaf buds on the main stem.
Pickering with a big leaf. I had to cut off some of the stem (plus leaf buds) because I didn't want to keep the rotten wood on the sapling.
Rearranged my mangoes to get the most out of the light in the room.
Moved Young/Tebows next to Julie & Graham.
