I haven't tasted my Rosi. as it is new to the ground (3gal.), but I can guess it will taste better than the dried mangos from Sams @10.00 a bag.
Pomegranate doesn't mind a pot.

 phantomcrab, your 11 month old White Jade grown in full sun from a USDA tissue culture. Smooth leaves.
How wide is the plant, I like mine spaced where the tip of the leaves just miss the base of the next plant core/body/base(?).

Nice gift, I was thinking peaches would not bare due to the warm winter this year. What did we have, 50-60 chill hours this season, and the main reason I gave up on my test blueberries in (West) Broward. Anybody else get peaches this year? I still want to plant one or two. 100 hours seem to be the lowest.

Please put me down for six.

I have been picking up a few pounds of sapdilla every week, I ended up buying 2 trees.

I think a mango tree is highly unlikly when they said " free native plants or trees"

345
Here is my list of mango trees.
Tebow (Go Gators), Pickering, Rosigold, Coconut Cream, Ugly Betty, Lemon Zest, Peach Cobbler, Carrie, Angie, Keitt, and the mature trees are Tommy Atkins,  Valencia Pride (from seed) I didnt know, Hatcher, Chocanon, Florigon, Fairchild, Po Puy Kalay, Springfel.
The first ten are fresh in the ground (3 mos.). thanks to Benders and Brooks Nursery, the Rosigold is really trying to give up some fruit by flowering heavy.

That area behind/near Flamingo Groves Lycheesonline has a lady who sell Sweethart fruits and I also purchased an air layered  tree from her. The tree is a few years from bearing as the soil is poor in that part of my yard,
