Crop Updates

March 5, 2026

In short it will be about a month before we have a better idea what the 2026 season has in store. As you have likely seen, the cold this February devastated many Florida farms and crops. We often mention our microclimate and how it allows us to grow managos as far north as we are. This winter we were again incredibly blessed that the historic cold front came across the massive Lake Okeechobee and those warm waters brought our air temps to just above freezing. A brief breakdown by crop follows.

SAPODILLA

There was a lot of wind in the cold fronts that resulted in lots of broken limbs in the small trees and some burned leaves. It did not get cold enough to damage the crop on the trees. They are maturing in waves but we still have lots of small ones out there and continue to accept orders for shipping and pickup. We are shipping 7 and 20 pound packages, which can be ordered online. Pickups can be scheduled on Tuesdays and Thursdays and require a deposit. To schedule a pickup, please call 561-924-7714 or text 833-629-5732.

MANGOS

The temperature dropped low enough to damage bloom but not to damage leaves or wood. The trees look good and we hope to see them push out another bloom any day. Mango trees often bloom more than once in the spring. If they bloom, then we wait and see if fruit sets. We will not be able to answer any specific questions until we know a lot more about the potential crop. However, if we have a crop the harvest is likely to fall within the typical July/August time frame.

LYCHEE

Very similar to the mangos, the temperatures got cold enough to damage any existing bloom but the trees are alright. All the smaller trees had their frost protectors on the trucks so they survived as well. We are waiting and watching for bloom. If they set a crop, it will likely be a  June harvest.

LEAVES

Mango leaves are pretty tough and they came through without damage. Mango leaves are available. They can be ordered online at any time. Paan leaves are delicate by comparison and the wind caused significant damage to all the leaves. The vines are alive we just have to wait for new leaves to grow.

AVOCADOS

The avocados were least impacted by the cold as they neither had a crop or bloom at the time. They just started blooming and it looks good. Time will tell how many fruit set, but so far so good.
