Stan, I am excited to hear that Bailey's Marvel can flower in our area. Keep us posted and I might order one this summer!

Stan - would love to see a picture of your bloom push!

Well,here it be. I think its a little too busy for just leafy growth-all that swelling,sidegrowth and filaments should be future bloom stuff.

Full size

Congratulations! That really is a bloom!

Thanks Ashley!. I'm hoping for best case- A long lived Mango tree for the bay area,not needing covering for normal winters. And If I plant it in ground-anti gopher cage wiring for sure.
This is my second largest Mango I've ever grown outdoors-at over 6'.
Lost the first one to 07's freeze. Baileys I beleive, would have made it. I think B.M. would laugh at 29-30f. Almost-lol.

Yep....Stan....I'm with Ashley on this - a DEFINITE bloom spike - congrats and I hope it turns out to be a boy!!!!!!

LOL.....
