Great video, I am also in zone 9B but in Florida. It was nice to see all of the different techniques you use to protect your plants. I share the same passion in this hobby and take some of the same steps. I have about 12 mango trees in pots and I keep them manageable to move back and forth into my shed based off the 32 degrees in the weather. I am looking into building a cover area with 4x4 post that I can quickly throw plastic over in cold weather and remove when it’s warm enough.
Thanks for the comment and encouragement. How do your mangos do in pots? I always feared they wouldn't fruit if I didn't put them in the ground - but maybe pots would be easier with winter
They do great in pots. I also feared that mangos wouldn’t produce in pots but it is 100% possible. I have 3 trees in 15 gallon pots and have picked around 12 mangos from them in the last two years. I have expanded my mangos in pot collection to around 12 grafted varieties. But I am considering building a permanent open top structure to allow me to grow a few in the ground and cover easily. My biggest in pots are Carrie, Nam Doc Mai, and Ice Cream. What varieties of mango 🥭 do you have?

With the cloth going all the way to the ground, there isn’t much air flow. Are you concerned about shocking them during warmer winter afternoons?
It doesn't get too hot inside -- usually 10 degrees more than outside at most during the afternoon.
Mine register in the 90s during the day sometimes. Frost cloth dome, heat source at night
No way u have a plumeria growing? Ever make a Hawaiian necklace out of the flowers?
My daughter wears the flowers in her hair in summer.
