Thank you all for the comments and encouragement. It has been a labor of love and an exercise in patience over these past years. Making crosses is easy. Stabilizing them with the qualities you desire is the hard part for sure but it has been fun and rewarding.

Speaking of mangoes Marsha, I was wondering how you are able to slice them so thin?

I was admiring the photos, when it occurred to me. I don't see any seeds in that fruit, at all. Am I just being blind?

even happened in some cherries this year. I'm quite convinced it is weather related although i'm not scientist. I have seen it a lot over the years in my Canadian gardens. https://scontent-sea1-1.xx.fbcdn.net...92&oe=59F68DE0

They actually start out 8mm thick before dehydration. I just peel the whole mango, then successive slices across the broad sides until I hit the seed. A whole mango is about 8 slices.

Much of my earliest fruit is sparse or void of seeds. Pinks more, potato leafs more. And if it's misshapen fruit on the first truss, guaranteed no seeds. My observation here.
