My Rosigold...

TnTrobbie · « **Reply #26 on:** March 25, 2014, 10:29:31 PM »

Funny this thread got revived

. Picked my first mango of the 2014 season this evening....a Rosigold. It's certainly the first tree to push flowers, and even after having mature sized fruit on it, it still pushes more flowers (extended season). You definetly have to spray copper on the flowers for it to hold. But having fruit set to early in the FL season makes it a keeper in my book. Looks like I adverted the splitting tendency it suffered last season.

Nice looking tree btw JC

My Rosigold is two years old. Last year it yielded three large, delicious mangos. Squam looked at my Rosigold today and predicts it will yield about 20 mangos this year.

Jeff congrats, Rosigold is definitely a mango worth having in your collection.

Early Glenns are often washed out. But lots better than nothing and they are at least my first of season. Are any others early duds?

It is usually rainfall that washes out the Glenns. They seem to be more affected than others.

Thanks Rob and good to see you back! My first 50% of Glenns were bland and watery. It did not rain too much last spring

My 'Rosigold' did not give me ripe mangos on March 1 as it usually does every year, because it did give me ripe mangos in February as intended by my monthly pushing (fertililzing) in the year before. I'm not going to do that again this year because I'm used to getting 'Rosigold' mangos by March 1. What I'm planning on doing is top working a 'Haden' tree with the 'Rosy-Gold,' and then force/push it to give me mangos in February, that'll cover the months of February and March with mangos.

Although I'm not a fan for "Top 5 most highly productive precocious" have to include Tommy Atkins.

The 'Rosy-Gold' is a crazy/great, workhorse of a mango tree. Last year I pushed it just about every month with fertilizer. And as a result, it gave me ripe mangos in February, just as I was planning for. It's just that the quantity of mango that it produced in the month of February was not as much as if I had fertilized the tree as I normally do, just once or twice a year.

The surprising/unexpected thing is that right now, after all the ripe February mangos have gone/ripened, the tree is again, right now, full of mangos that are beginning to ripen and of a larger size than I remember ever seeing!

LEOOEL · « **Reply #38 on:** June 15, 2014, 01:16:52 AM »

I suspect that I'm the only one being engulfed in Rosigold mangos right now, at least in my area.

After pushing the tree with fertilizer every month for the past year, it produced a decent crop in February and now in June, I'm again inundated with 'Rosigold' mangos, what a tree, it's a real trooper.

Other varieties that are extremely early and very productive are 'Rosa' and 'Dwarf Hawai'ian'.

I never see them for sale. I think Truely Tropical sells the fruit

I have been picking my second late crop of Rosigold's for the last few weeks.
