Squam for sure!
You know you're obsessed when you have over 100 different cultivars of mango.I'd have to hire a landscaping company to take out all the weeds though before it would be suitable for television. So I cast my vote to Harry . Plus his trees are bigger and producing.
I'd vote Harry for mangoes and Jon Verdick for figs
Bananas too.

So I cast my vote to Harry . Plus his trees are bigger and producing.I would define degrees of pathological obsession in the following way:Mild obsession: 20 mango trees or lessModerate obsession: 20-50 mango treesAdvanced obsession: 50-100 mango treesReady for the luny farm: over 100 mango trees!
Ready for the luny farm: over 100 mango trees!
just my personal opinion, but I'd want to see a program about an older grower over the age of 60, who's spent over 30yrs collecting a wide range of species...rather than just hundreds of cultivars of the same species. the senior growers deserve the spotlight, because they have less time left to personally share with us their legacy.
...oh , YES....I forgot you Karen - I mean ICELAND and Mangos - how could thislady's TV documentary NOT have you in it!!!!!!!!!!!!!Gary

Only participate if you want to see yourself on TV and tell your family and friends to watch you.
I have to agree, this is not like that Documentary, "The Fruit Hunters" this is in her words:about people with unique collections or obsessionsSo its not about the love of fruits or to inform people about fruit growing, its about the people that collect them or are obsessed with them. My guess is, if your not a real obsessed mango nut with mango trees growing from your bed, you probably wont make the cut.
