Thank you chicomoralessxm! I have just asked them. They don't have any for sale right now. How is the taste of the fruit? Is it worth growing? How long does it take for the seedlings to fruit ?

I've emailed Lynn at Frankie's nursery 2-3 times specifically requesting maprang trees but I've gotten no response. :(. Not sure

I'm told these are a tree that should be grafted. 
With 3 acres of prime real estate for growing tropicals... why not create my own garden of eden?? Work in progress

Grafted trees in ideal conditions take about 5 years to fruit. Seedling trees in ideal conditions take 10+ years to fruit.

I just got my first 4 fruits last month from a 7/8years seedling who has been neglected as is on a step Hill and doesn't get water very often, is like 2meters high and is the second year flowering, it's the sweet type, small and delicious! Don't have to be peel as the skin is thin and crunchy, the flesh is firm like in a peach almost, nice beautiful manicure kind of fruit, now I'm looking for the one a little bit bigger "Mayong chid" which is sweet and tart...

Thank you Friends!   Maybe Armageddon will come first..?!  That means we don't have much time left! So, I'd better get a grafted one... :))    Based on the impressions I've got, it should be a pleasant, fun-to-eat fruit...

Maprang at frankies don't seem to last long.  They're sold pretty quick.

Maprang in Florida is a waste of of your time and effort. Florida is not tropical enough. Better to get a few of the new mango varieties such as from Zill, Excalibur or elsewhere

I've found mine to be almost just as cold hardy as mangoes. My bigger tree took 30 degrees unprotected this year. Didn't flower this year but has in the past. Fruit set seems to be the main issue but I have read that is common with these when young.

I have never seen anyone living in Florida post here about maprang production. Decent maprang production or any maprang production. I have seen posts about the tree flowering and this is about it.

How many people have grafted trees that are over a few years old? I have no doubt that mine will hold a good crop when it gets more size on it. It's only about 6ft right now but grows well. They have actually been pretty care free trees for me.

Both Rob and Harry have posted in past threads about bearing maprang trees in Florida.
