Thanks amigos, this is really fun. You newbies to this fruit are in for a treat.
Simon, if it gets any better gonna blow a gasket!
Mark, does the tree have any new shoots while holding the fruits?
Yes but they don't look very robust which suggests the fruit has sapped some vigor. This is a small young tree grafted last year but in a big 509 gal. bottomless pot. It set a lot of fruit but I probably should have dropped all but say.....2-4. At least I have 8 to play with regarding choice of coloration.
Zands, this tree was grafted by a Texan tropical fruit guru and given to me at an Austin scion exchange last year. You guys would be shocked as to how many mango growers there are in Texas. A large Houston nursery by the name of JRN has many mangos which includes Zill varieties. Valley (border) nurseries, Corpus Christi, many cities sell them and other fruits like sapote, avocado, lychee, jaboticaba, coffee, etc. plus there's a lot of scion exchanging going on among friends. I'm going to share my left over Zill scions with others.
