Not common for them to bloom at the end of summer.

Blooming and fruiting may make things more difficult but don't worry about it. Fruit it and see what happens.

JK in the 8B - by topic you can look up past questions and comments on this forum. I just posted a couple weeks ago the topic of my August flowering Choc Anon (but in the ground) and there were a couple comments from those having potting mangos that were also flowering. Yes it does happen....AND....since you have just purchased and potted it, don't count on this first season's schedule as being anything near normal.

I think the common strategy with young plants is, if you want growth, wait till the blooming is over with and see if any little mangos remain on the branches. If so, snip them off, and you'll see growth before not too long... they say if you knock the flowers or their buds off, the tree will throw out more flowers to replace those knocked off.

Send us a picture. Do you know how to use Photobucket? Many of us use that website to post stuff....

Good luck - mangodog

Mangodog - different story altogether with Choc Anon as they are known to fruit twice in a year, with the second "harvest" being around November.

i replied to that thread, seems to be a couple different varieties blooming this month.
