General Update
The wind is getting up a little today, gusting 50 - 60 kph. The sun is beating down, the plants are due for another water, and the balcony space is getting tight as the canopies expand.

I moved him to the back of the house to be diagonally opposite from the girls, this position seemed to work well a couple of years ago when I last ran a male for pollen. I then found no unwanted pollination occurred to the females.
The balcony girls are getting bigger and it was time to put the balcony rail herb planters up to help shield their advancing height. But now their expanding canopies are making it tough to move them about without jostling against one another and potentially causing damage.
A couple of days ago after carrying out additional LST on the mainstem of the Mango Sherbert that the very next morning I found the mainstem had broken 3/4's through. I used some arborist goo and electrical tape to make a 'Turkish splint' and by the following day she seemed back on pace.
