This tree is almost 2 years old. Originally it was a Manila Mango seedling tree, commonly available at Home Depots and Lowes in Southern California. The problem is, mango trees like warm and dry conditions. In my area, it gets cool and humid during the winter. In these conditions, the powdery mildew becomes so bad, that all the new leaf growth just dies off. So, I took budwood from various mango trees around my neighborhood and grafted them onto my tree. These varieties seem resistant to powdery mildew. Hopefully these grafts push flowers this spring!
