Has anyone actually gotten Sapodilla or Canistel fruit? I can keep mine alive and I have got flowers on both now, but no fruit.

I once played with mangos. Concord is definitely too cold. I think Manila is a bad choice for even trying in warm Bay Area spots. There's a guy in Vallejo who has one doing well I think, but don't think it's fruited?
I can't do mango even in a pot. Bad winter knocks it back. Trying to fruit one mango killed it and it was a pretty sadly bad tasting one. Manila may not be the best choice honestly for trying mango in super marginal areas like Bay Area.
Like Fremont? Is that an illusion? How about my Baileys? Its imaginary? Look if you don't feel up to it fine. But speak for yourself when you see Myrna with 15 types of Mango. I uh,don't see TF saying a word to her does he?
Manila is one of the best to try. That's so basic in local Mango growing Brian that you should join the local Rare Fruit growers. That's the fastest way to shorten the learning curve. Concord is near central valley..but me? I would try. Whats a few weeks covered,then all the rest of the year to grow in that hot summer Concord heat?
