Rapoza Mango
« on: June 21, 2018, 11:47:24 AM »
Anyone know of a online source for Rapoza Mango tree? I've heard they are the same as Florida Red Mango, but all searches for "Florida Red" mango have come up empty.

Thanks, NissanVersa, I may have to go that route. I just bought a Glenn Mango tree. I guess I could graft a scion onto a limb of it.

Rapoza mango has a piney resinous taste near the skin. 
If that's not what you like, then Rapoza is not for you.
Rapoza has a nice exterior color, but don't know if that is Florida Red.

One place to buy Rapoza is Plantogram.

Or you can roll the dice with Top Tropicals....lots of bad reviews/complaints from veteran forum members.

Type in Rapoza mango in the search field.

Rapoza = Florida Red.  A decent mango.  Ultra fibre less, including the seed.  Persistent flowering habit if blooms fail to fruit.
