"Diamond Guava" Mango?
« on: July 18, 2019, 01:22:25 PM »
Has anyone heard of this variety?

I purchased it from Exotica, and wonder if it's HW-14 (Diamond) but crossed with something else?

Regardless, I do hear the Diamond variety is prolific and I'll probably need a hardy variety for my more mountainous area (will be bringing it inside on cold nights during the winter for a year or two till I move somewhere I want to plant it)

Guava Nirvana would sell better at the zills stand.

If it's the nursery in Vista, I will ask today.

It was indeed at the nursery in Vista. My friend bought it for me while on his way north. I am not too worried about it being Diamond, which I hear is everyone's least favorite... But I'd be happy to know it's not 100% diamond. At worst I'll just try my hand at grafting onto it if I truly dislike it. Haven't met a mango I don't like though.
