Graham Mango foto
« on: January 28, 2012, 08:35:58 PM »
Check out this night foto of my Graham mango taken today Jan 28th. It has some good sized fruits already. We are still in winter so a cold front could knock them off.

Wow your tree looks very happy, how tall and old is it?  Mine wont start blooming 'til around Mar/Apr.

Nice! Looks like you'll have an extended harvest season.

Busting out all over!  FGM.... you should come back to this thread and post when you eat your first 2012 Graham mango. May 1st maybe?


June is bustin' out all over
All over the meadow and the hill!
Buds're bustin' outa bushes
And the rompin' river pushes
Ev'ry little wheel that wheels beside the mill!

Noel, thats great.  Would that be considered a super early bloom or a super late bloom?  :o

I have a Graham that looks similarly and my neighbors have a couple with more or less the same bloom going on.  Its hard to recollect form year to year the exact timing of the bloom....but it seems that it is pretty much on schedule within a week or two. Graham usually bears over a long period of time.  I have had them as early as June and as late as August.  And they can push blooms a couple of times during this time of the year....which can bring a staggered crop and therefore a longer fruiting season. The fruits get fairly large so they are carried on the tree for a long time.  They are never the first fruits maturing during the mango season.  But they can sometimes rival the last of the season.

My tree is 6 yrs old and is approx 15 ft high and 15 ft wide. It's this small because I have trimmed it back a few times.  No doubt my fastest growing mango. It's twice the size of my Cogshall and both were planted at the same time

I know it's probably been  discussed before, but what is the flavor of the Billy Graham
mango.... ;D

(and don't say - Divine!)

Gary...it is Julie-like in flavor.  It comes by it naturally since it is supposedly a Juile seedling. Complex sweet tropical taste, with some of the charactreristic  piney twang that Julie lovers appreciate. It does have a strong scent as well.  Not sure this helps if you haven't had a Julie before.

Correctamundo, Harry - Julie's are not sold out here in the West, so I'll just have to gleen sweet-
complex-tropical-taste as a swill of tastes in my mouth   Anyway, it sounds great...thanks Harry Houdini of Mangoland......
