Also my glen and Pickering are doing great on this watering cycle so maybe it is a virus?

i'm not 100%, but i remember reading that there are 2 general types of mangos, SE Asian and Indian(India). the SE Asian varieties like the NDM evolved around a humid, semi wet climate. while the Indian varieties originated in a drier more arid climate.

this is the second year i have had my mango trees, including a NDM. last summer we had scorching hot weather and were in a severe drought condition. i watered my plants every other day. the same way you are watering, by flooding the whole pot so that all the potting mix is saturated.

have you looked very closely to check for any pests? if there are no signs of pests, try watering NDM a little more frequently and see if that helps. if not, it could be a disease, but you wont know unless you get it tested.

My newer branches on many of my mango trees are looking wilted from the excessive heat, cuz they get plenty of water....can you move it to semi-shade to let it recover a bit? I mean of course letting it dry out too much could do it, but you would see a gradual fold-down of the leaves as the drought hit the tree... did it appear that way, or just one day BOOM - all wilted?

yeah its dead.. i pulled it under the porch to give it shade.. kept it watered and its now nice and crispy :(

I dont know what happened, maybe it didnt like the soil i used? or maybe not enough drainage in the pot? (seemed the water would flow out just fine when i watered)

ive noticed on my glenn now the tips of the new growth are starting to shrivvle up and get crispy. new baby tiny leaves that are just barely spreading out are doing this.. maybe too much sun? or is there something going on in the soil?

the tips of the new leaves like my glenn now is what the nam doc mai was doing before it died.. tips would wither up and turn crispy even while still green, then eventually turn brown

wonder whats causing this

did you get it tested?

did you pull the NDM out of the pot and inspect the soil and the roots?
