Mangos & more
Mahachinok a workhorse. I have about 10-12 left in the tree which start ripening in late July to November. I highly recommend this variety to socal growers for its fine quality and extended season.
Thanks. My Kathy seems like it does not want to grow at all but my Coconut Cream is doing great and the Pina Colada. I pugged my Peach Cobbler but deers kept eating it and eventually it died of stress. Question should I get rid of my Kathy that is ground planted and put my LZ in it’s place. My LZ is in a 35 Gal container.

Was planted 14ft from the road. Most baffling theft on my property. For sure the scum that took it was not able to grow it properly so it died. Rob gave it infinite praise so this is why I bought one, a good specimen from Bender's Grove.
It's one thing when they pick fruit you waited for years to try But getting the whole tree makes you start all over Landscapers with shovels on hand most likely suspects. Plant another ahead of the rain and I hope you have better luck

My best mango of 2017 behind lemon zest. Peach cobbler. Simply tangy goodness of sweetness. Brix 24. A must have for backyard gardeners. Grows compact and produces heavy every year for me.
got more fresh ones from the ground a few left on the tree this seems to be a perfect commercial mango from Socal

I hate thieves and the only way I'd grow in most neighborhoods is behind a secured fence with perhaps a pet rottweiler or pit bull. We're still old school here where many still don't lock their doors and most respect other's property.BTW, didn't we have this "what in the hell are you doing planting outside in the open?" conversation either by email or posts?
Federal money has paid for (financed) so many stupid and unused bicycle lanes where I live so anything is possible
Hey, ya never know. People might get smart someday, and start riding bicycles! There are a few of us in my neighborhood who do. It does improve quality of life.

Because they can. "Share the road" doesn't seem to be in their mindset - rude is. I live on a wicked, no shoulders, dangerous state highway and these nuts are on it making it dangerous for our rural community commuters. Yep, fine Peach Cobbler you have there Behl!

You should see what they do here Mark. Twisty back country road. Blind turns, double yellow line, no bike lane. Hills, cliff on the side of the road. Bikers think its the best thing since sliced bread. They will be in the road and Im behind them in a full size truck waiting for a safe place to pass. Then they are waving me to pass them around a blind turn with a cliff on the other side of the road. They are straight up crazy.
But that said, I don't think you really need to replace your Peach Cobbler, Zands. Sure it's great, but how many wonderful mango trees does one family really need?
