South Florida:
Still have eight Neelam otherwise mangoes are done. Last 5 Kents were stolen a few days ago :( and last Keitts were picked yesterday. So my mango season is done! An early finish to the year. Usually there are Keitts into September though I see a neighboring Keitt tree should have fruits into early September.
Right now California mangoes are at their peak of availability

I have 3 Hatchers and 4 Val. Pride (seedling). I have been supplementing my fix through Bender's.

Keitt, Kent, Valencia Pride, Neelam, Sweet Tart, Beverly, Lancetilla, Nam Doc Mai Sia Tong, Kiew Yai, and some mis-labeled Kent seedling all still have fruit as of today.

Would you say that your Sweet Tart trees have an exceptionally long season?

I just picked the last Sweet Tart off my tree today.

Another plus for Sweet Tart!

And how did the quality compare to the earlier fruit?
-
2 Mahas on the tree. 1 is half ripe.

I have a second crop of cogshall, 76, 1 Edward, 10-15 Duncans, 4 ST, a bunch of manga blanc, 10 Peggy recommend this mango as a nice late mangos for you guys, and few other stuff.
Cogshall is a well adapted tree for Socal growers with an early and late crop.....not you best tasting mango but desirable especially in October

I have one left on my small tree. Mine all matured late and were small in size.. I assumed that the reason was because the ratio of leaves to fruit was roughly 1:1. My bad.....
-
I just ate my last Venus mango (purchased). The skin was blotchy and wrinkled, and I figured I had waited too long.
But the flavor was exquisite. Go Venus !
-
Alex, i asked about fruit a few weeks ago and you said you were done, but i just read in this thread that you have all these varieties still available? Did you not want to ship fruit?
-
Just picked my last Graham. I have 2 LZ left on the tree and about 10 NDM hanging. I have been eating NDM since the middle of June. Seems like extended season to me! Is that typical of NDM? This is the first year harvesting them. :)

There's only a couple fruit on those trees and I stopped shipping weeks ago. Its really just for myself and family/friends.

The Edward looks so yummy. I have a grafted tree over 6ft and bushy with drooping branches. I told it that it's ok to have babies and hope it will give me a few next year :)
JF, I heard so much about how good Sweet Tart was, and wonder if you have any scions that I can buy now or near future?

Neelam, Graham, and Sweet Tart. My Keitt was consumed with fungus and had no fruit this year.
I'm feeling "mango poor."
-
Sorry to hear about your Keitt. I guess sometimes bad things happen to good trees.
Hope you had a good season overall.
I have one Sweet Tart in the fridge. After that it's mango deficit for many moons. :-\
I read somewhere that other fruits can be grown in Florida. I guess I should check into that.
-
Sapote, Edward is a great mango but tough to grow. I've had massive 2-3 pounds Edwards this year but I only had 6-7 fruits on my 5 year old tree. Sure you can PM about ST.
-
beautiful clean fruit!
how much longer until your finished harvesting mangoes at your house?

Adam, my mango trees are still too young from 1-5 years old but so far the early ones start to ripen late July and Keitt and Chocannon can hang on the tree until February

Waited 5 yrs for the grafted Edward to have fruits??? My 2 yrs grafted Edward is the fastest growing mango in my house, but so far there was no fruits survived over a peas size.
Thanks,

Sapote, my Edward was bought as a 2' twig from Mimosa 5 years ago this December. It flower and set a fruits the first year. I've deliberately allowed it to fruit young to keep the growth in check....it has worked the tree is under 6'. You might want to ask Gary in Palm Springs about his Edward his tree is not very productive.
-
Yes, Sapote - the Edward I have is just a beautiful tree , flowers profusely, and has set 1 HUGE
mango each of the last two years. I don't want to dig it out, but I do think I will start grafting over
some branches. Gorgeous tree but ...... ya know........it's not pulling its weight!

Interesting strategy. I'd love to see a picture of your Edward tree. I didn't plant one because I didn't think I'd be able to keep its size in check.

My very last mango is a Keitt...only had 3 this year due to a very late Oct. pruning last year. Only had a couple of blooms on the tree. Won't be doing that this year.
Its a large mango 2.5 lbs...looking forward to eating it...
-
Gary, we should somehow tell Edward that it's ok now to have many fruit babies :) Did your Edward taste as good as they said? I hope my 3" trunk 7ft tall tree will give some delicious fruits next year.
