Yeah, I think Lorax is referring to when it gets dark throughout Nov/Dec - in which case I could see the halide coming in handy. We haven't had a whole lot of sun here recently, and my mango tree looks like it's doing just that right now, Beth - surviving.
Good luck, Nath.

I have put my pots in the warmest sunniest place in the conservatory so we'll see how they get on. I just need to make sure that they are kept reasonably warm with as much light as I can give them.
They are great and so sweet, you don't find that variety very often here in England. I have a mango in my smoothie every morning now at 7 am along with Toronja, naranja, fresas, uvas, sanoria, y Piña. Very nice keeps me going all morning until 1pm.
All fresh and full of bits very healthy.
Talking of FresasI decide d that I am going to try my hand at strawberries this coming year as I can't get enough of them. I have been reading though that they are very prone to slugs and some sort of white fly. I may have to try some of HBL's remedies on them unless I grow them in hanging baskets which is another option.
