Hi all,
Just a quick update on the mystery "Indian" mangoes that were supposed to be Arka Puneet, Arka Anmol, Ratna, Banganapalli, Amrapali, Arka Aruna, Sindhu and Arka Neelkiran. To my complete surprise the new leaf growth actually looks right - at least to my completely unqualified eye - when compared with the new leaf growth pics on the Indian National Mango Database. None have fruited yet tho, so it may just be wishful thinking. And I am still planning a massive topworking project just in case....
I have also picked up Borsha, Malda, Janardhan Pasand, Imam Pasand, Vanraj, Ameeri, Son Pari, Sufaida, Neelam and Jahangir from other (more reliable) sources. The "Chaunsa" and "Sindhri" trees I also purchased from the seller in question are growing very nicely as well, and are definitely not Julie, Alphonso or NDM. I've started topworking them already but am leaving a couple of branches alone just in case. I'd love to get lucky :-) Will keep you all posted.
Best regards,
Scott
