Thanx Ethan. I responded to your p.m. I thought the Edwards mango was good then we tried a Manila mango straight from the tree and it was amazing. Ask JF, the nice flavor took us by surprise. The mango was yellow with a red blush on top. I even took one away from a squirrel trying to steal one. First time I see squirrels eating or trying to eat mangoes. Hopefully JF has some ripe Manilas and he can show some pics.



Yard looks amazing 007, congrats on the harvest too!

HAHAHA Ethan, you should have seen Cuban007 run down the slope after the thief....the squirrel shit the Manila out LOL

Man your yard is amazing. I am trying to layout my yard in the same manner. Great job, you inspire me to press on. God Bless!
Behave in the image that GOD created us in. Cultivate the earth with good seed so our children and other behind us can reap good fruits.

Ricocecargill, thanx for the compliments. If you are in the Bahamas that should be a piece of cake for you.

I agree with you Rob. I really think they are Misi Luki. Thanx for the tour of the Excalibur grounds. I am planning to go back in January and pick up some plants.

Rob gave me + friends a nice tour too the day I bought a Coc (Vietnamese) mango at Excalibur
Cubano--- I always cut the red banana blossom off after all the bananas have formed. I was told they take juices from the bananas that are trying to get ripe.

I was not aware until I was told a few years ago----  Once the banana bunch has gotten ripe and you have harvested it, cut the stalk down. I try to cut close to ground as possible. Chop up the stalk with machete and use it to mulch your banana patch or your mangoes. I usually mulch mangoes with it

That doesn't look at all like a Manila, seedling that's crossed with something else perhaps?

Do these look like manzano?  They are just three weeks old, and are about 3-4 inches long.
