You probably took a seed from an F1 hybrid. F1 hybrids do produce "plants", but little to no fruit. They are genetically modified plants - a big thank you to Monsanto at this point. I have currently bought 50 mango trees from my trusted plant dealer and am currently planting them. 3 different varieties, about 3 years old, each one normally costs THB 230, with a discount now THB 210. Fruit trees usually produce fruit between the ages of 3-5. So I have gained time. What you can do with your mango is use it as a "rootstock" for a fruit tree. As you correctly suspect, the tree is cut down and a fruit variety is grafted onto it. The ideal time for this is always the end of the dormant period and the beginning of the growth period. In Thailand, I would describe the dry season as the dormant period - until about the end of January, before the mangos start to bloom. The growth phase begins at the beginning/end of May - when the rainy season begins and the fruiting period is over. I would therefore assume that the ideal time for grafting is April. You can either try your luck now or wait until the end of March next year and then graft. During this time you could also practice grafting on various plants in advance. Roses, vines, limes, neem - basically everything that naturally grows quickly and easily.

I'm bringing the thread out of the shadows. Maybe it'll be interesting for one or two people. The price of rubber in Buriram was 30 THB/kilo from February to the end of March. April to mid-May 32 THB/kilo Mid-May to currently 36 THB/kilo, and still rising.

A page that shows the current daily price by region would of course be an ingenious thing. I don't know if that exists. Alternatively, you can also ask for the daily prices here in the forum or in a FB group. Normally I always get a lot of feedback regarding prices. I am in Buriram and can provide current prices for the following: rubber 32 / kg rice - not startet yet Cassava 2.600 / ton Wood (eucalyptus) 950 / ton Sugarcane finished, was on 1.600 - 1.900 / ton

Instead of a concrete foundation, you can make an excavation. Put a layer of broken glass in there and then lay concrete slabs or something similar flush on top. It's cheaper and serves its purpose too. I didn't know that eucalyptus was so robust when dry. Thanks for the information. The problem with the mites has not been solved, but the issue with the termites has. I'll probably build my little hut on the farm with eucalyptus instead of bamboo.

The post is a bit old, but not too old to not respond. When using wood I see 2 problems: 1. Blood mites. You always get that with chickens and it can't be avoided. The big problem when using wood is that there are many cracks, holes and gaps in which these mites can hide and it is very difficult or not at all effective to combat them there. Since we live in a hot region, these beasts also reproduce extremely quickly, so that a small, overlooked nest produces a new, large generation in a very short time. 2. Termites. Is eucalyptus termite safe? The masonry around it makes sense, the question would be whether you should also build a foundation so that no robbers can dig under the wall. I'm thinking in particular of dogs, mongooses,...
