I don't mean to hijack this thread, but I have a question for California mango growers.

Since your climate is drier than, for example, Florida's, does that mean that diseases like anthracnose are a non-issue?

I'm guessing that would mean that some varieties like Hayden, Ice Cream, Julie... would be somewhat easier to grow and better looking for y'all.

Antharacnose has never been a problem with my mangoes.

Simon_grow, I tasted Carrie last year from the same tree they are sweet and fiberless. I like them better than the store brought ataulfo. Also my observation is that all my mangoes that is on manila rootstock grows rapidly ( Glenn, Ewais, Sunset,& Haden) than the mangoes from Florida. Anybody in So.Cali notice the difference between in growth between mangoes that is on manila rootatock compare to the Florida rootstock?......also I have 2 Nam Doc Mai and the one on Manila rootstock grows quicker and yes I bought them the same year and same size...

Ice Cream Mango also on a growth flush. I also did not let this tree hold fruit this year but this tree does very well here in So. Cali

Hey ant21, I have a Nam Doc Mai that flowered heavily about 2 weeks ago.  My NDM is very small, only about the size of your Carrie.  It has several very small mangoes on it right now but I will pluck them all off when they are the size of a marble.  How was the flavor and sweetness on your Carrie?
Simon


The carrie from last year was very good, taste better than store bought ataulfo. Only negative thing about carrie is it's
stay green when ripe. But carrie is very good and grows well in So.Cali..
