They can put ripe mangoes in a refrigerated trailer out back then haul them out for the masses on July 14th. To Future- you are right on the date. It always landed on the 9th to12th of July. But Fairchild needs a weekend and this is how it turned out. The alternative of July 6-8th was was too early For us travelling from overseas, that is a significant date shift.indeed! Latest I have seen.
We always have a good time at Mango Fest, have been going for years. An interesting mix of people, something good to eat, and lots of beautiful plants. Any excuse to goto Fairchild is good for me. Plan on volunteering there when I am an old man. The hybrids mentioned are likely the casturi and kuini grafted plants they started selling last year. Not sure if any of the newer hybrids Dr. Ledesma is working on would be available or not, but that would be a nice bonus.
I think The season is goin to peak in June this year, with a second “peak” in early late July/early August from the second bloom.
