My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

I "pugged" my Rapoza mango. Results pic

10 years ago

Hello all,

My Hawaiian Rapoza mango used to have a single stem growing straight up, no side branches and no width.

I decided to "pug" it and here are the results. Much bushier canopy!

1) This first pic is the "before."

2) This second pic is with the severe pugging.

3) Finally, the last pic is the result.

Yes, sigh... I know that my lawn is hideous. We recently bought this house and our priorities are still with renovating the house in itself. By next year, my intent is to get a professional landscaper out here to give the lawn a proper makeover : )

    Wonderful, I did my 7 gallon Julie a few weeks ago and I'm waiting to see the end result.
