Tropical Fruit Discussion / Super sweet mango
« on: January 15, 2020, 03:32:37 AM »



This wild mango has a brix index of 25! It is the highest I have come across in all the mango varieties. I enjoy sourcing for wild mangoes and have gathered varieties similar to R2E2, Harmanis etc. For the sweet ones, they have an index of around 14 to 16, so you can imagine how unusually sweet this mango is.

The tree looks at old, at least 15 years I would say, and eqch season it produces not more than 10 fruits. The mangoes are oblong in shape, with an appearance that resembles the rainbow mango. But the flesh is pale yellow, and firm unlike that variety. Would appreciate anyone with info on this variety. Thank you!

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Grafted scion turning brown
« on: November 24, 2019, 04:26:20 AM »





Hi need some help. The scion appears to turn brown, about 3 weeks after the graft. Is that an indicator that the graft has failed? But there seem to be new nodes appearing.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Grafting...successful or not
« on: September 10, 2019, 05:33:06 AM »
Hi everyone, I need some help here. The scion shows new growth but at the same time there is mold growing near the tip where the new shoots are. So is the graft considered successful? What should I do now?

There are also multiple shoots emerging from the base of one rootstock. Should I leave or remove them? Thank you.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Air Layering failed
« on: July 27, 2019, 10:19:10 PM »


Removed a 2inch ring, scraped off the cabium layer
 Wrapped it with moist soil. After three weeks, this is what I got, no roots developed. Any idea what could have gone wrong? Not tight enough? Age of tree? Choice of medium?

The fruits grow in cluster, and are small sized ranging from 3-4inches and smaller. Are they altaulfo?

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Graft Compatibility (Kuini aka Mangifera odorata with other mangoes)
« on: June 30, 2019, 03:37:40 AM »
Hi I have some Kuini saplings and I intend to use them as rootstock. Is this variety compatible with all other mango varieties like irwin, ataulfo etc?

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Prune or not to prune Jackfruit Sapling
« on: June 18, 2019, 02:42:46 AM »


Hi everyone, I just planted the jackfruit into this big pot. Reason for not planting it into the ground directly- the soil layer is not deep enough. I tried digging a hole and was o steucted by a layer of cement about 12 inches from the top layer.

Question: Should I prune the sapling to promote geowth of leader branch and restrict its overall height?

I have pruned the two mango saplings as below. Not sure if I have done it correctly.

Hi everyone, my mango plant is growing well. However, the edges of the biggest leaves are not sharp as you can see. The latest two leaves that emerged also shrivelled. Not too sure what the reason is. Can anyone advise on this? Thank you.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Polyembronic Mango Seed
« on: June 09, 2019, 09:34:11 PM »


Hello everyone. I planted this seed around 2 weeks ago and now there are at least 5 visible shoots emerging from the it. I am not sure the thickest one is a stem or root. Question now is, what should I do? Leave it as it is or split the shoots? If it is the latter, how should I go about doing it? Do I pry the seeds apart?

I have intention to keep all the shoots since all but one are clone to the mother tree.

Second question, I have seen videos of Japanese growing Miyazaki mango. All their plants look so stunned, at most 4ft tall. Did they achieve that via grafting?  Any reason why didn't allow the plants to grow into a big tree?

Thank you!!
