Update on CC & 76.

Coconut Cream

Spirit of '76
They look healthy. I'm thinking of moving them to work but not sure.

Maha Chanoks are at work

I took both Maha Chanok's to work and put them in my office. I figured the constant warm temperature should help it.

Maha Chanok "B" pruned down

 
So I brought Maha "B" in from the cold greenhouse and pruned it down to what I can identify as close to live tissue. If it survives, I'll know better where the necrotic parts are.

Updates November 9th, 2012

ST Maui showing vigorous growth.

Pickering's growth flush.

Julie #1 is starting to push some sort of growth after cutting off all the flower stalks. I hope its not more flowers.

I'm taking Maha Chanok "A" to work. So I pruned off all the dead parts, rubbed the remaining green bit with vaseline and hope it pulls through.
  
I'll probably do the same with MC "B" because the greenhouse is getting cold at night.

ST Maui Mango

I'm impressed how fast and quickly ST Maui is pushing new growth, after pruning.

Not looking great but there is still a sliver of hope.

Mango greenhouse update.

Maha Chanok "A" is looking grim. So the question is, how much die back? Will it be like how my Pickering fared? Tebow/Young in the back is doing great BTW.
Maha Chanok "B" is looking better than "A" but its still going through rough transplant shock. Both plants survived over 2 weeks (didn't turn completely black), so I am hopeful that it may have major die back but will regenerate.
MC "A" is showing necrosis from water stress. I'm pretty sure that this section of the plant is a goner. So time will tell if it can still grow. If it can survive two more weeks, well see.

Coconut Cream is doing great. I'm starting to think I should've stuck with coco coir for the potting material. CC is still holding onto a lot of its original leaves. Amazing.

Spirit of '76, on the other hand lost almost all its leaves but it producing so much new growth. Hurray.
What a healthy tree.

ST Maui

I pruned ST Maui down to about 20 inches in height yesterday. I even took some twigs and grafted one onto my Lemon Zest grafted seedling and one onto my Manila. My track record for grafting isn't so great but I hope they take.
On a separate note, my Maha's are not looking too good. They're completely stressed out. I am hoping they pull through like how my Pickering did from near death. Time will tell if they fair better.
