« on: March 28, 2017, 01:27:32 PM »
Any idea where to get budwood other than the Citrus Center in Kingsville? There web site is down and Mark won't return my phone calls for some reason. Working on a Frankin Citrus Tree and it's really cramping my style with out access to some budwood. Any ideas?

Tropical Fruit Discussion / I did it!
« on: November 20, 2015, 03:11:42 AM »
Finally pulled the trigger and ordered some mangos from Top Tropical. Now I need to pot them up and pray there what they say they are. Suppost to be Maha Chanok, Nam Doc Mai & Pickering. Had my heart set on Imman Pasand but that one seems a little hard to come buy. Gonna pot them up into 25 gallon pots for now. Will check the root system in 2 years and probably move on up to 35 gallon pot.  Going to mix up a big batch of Pine bark mulch and perilite for potting medium. Wish me luck!!!!

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Nam Doc Mai Mango and Durian
« on: November 15, 2014, 09:58:56 PM »
Took the kids down to the Asian Market today looking for fruits. Found some Nam Doc Mai mangos and frozen whole durian. The mangos were off the chart good. I havent had a lot of known varieties of mango but these were the best I've had yet! Not saying much but man where they good! The Durian.......hahaha, well.......it was horrible!!!!! Had to trick my kids into trying it and it actually hit my youngest ones gag reflex!!!!! I tried several bites and just couldn't get into it but I did give it a honest try! LOL, sorry durian lovers! It can't hold a candle to a good mango!

« on: October 09, 2014, 04:09:28 AM »
With all the knowledge on this forum I believe I can narrow down my varieties buy including one more requirement. No spliltting! At least not being a notorious splitter. Can you guys list the varieties you've had lots of trouble with? It would be appreciated by many newbies for sure!

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Container Sweetheart Lychee
« on: October 08, 2014, 03:36:58 PM »
Anyone here growing Lychee in containers? I can't seem to find any info on the best time to root prune Lychee. I know your suppost to do it every year and I would think the best time to do it would be right after fruit harvest as that's when you prune the canopy. Would only make sense to do both at the same time. Any thoughts?

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Container Mangos
« on: October 05, 2014, 12:26:13 PM »
Sup everyone! This is my first post on this forum other than the intro so yall be nice! Im going to pull the trigger on 3 mangos in the very near future. I live in South Houston Tx Zone9A/B where the 2 zones meet. Im still on the fence about whether to put these babies in ground or large containers but Im leaning towards containers at the moment. I will have to put out some effort to protect them in the winter either way so maintaining the trees to around 6-8ft tall will be manditory.  Ive been researching many of the condo varieties and pretty much nailed down the Pickering. After that it gets kinda fuzzy as theres so many to choose from. So far I've got NDM (not sure about all the fruit split I read about), Maha Chanok, Rosigold, Graham and Millika on my radar.  My location is humid most of the time as I'm only 1 mile from Galveston Bay and maybe 15-20 miles from the Gulf so leaf dieses resistance is a must and from what I've read these varieties all have this attribute. I only have room for 3 so which other 2 would you pick and why? Are there any other varieties that are attainable that you would suggest? Any of the new Zill varieties worth trying in my area?
