Mike how do these compare to green sapote? Would you rate them as good as these or even mamey? Or are they closer to canistel?
My 'Ross', grafted with wood from Bill Whitman's tree, is spindly in growth habit. Fruits are small, flattened-rounded, and fall when soft, leaving the entire top portion of the skin hanging in the tree. Fruits are moist and very flavorful.
She said it tasted like apple pie, I couldn't imagine it so I went with what I wanted lol
If I would have been there to taste it then maybe I would have got it. They were very nice and very helpful according to my buddy that went there. Home Depot/Lowes is the only option where I am in Melbourne unless you're paying an arm & leg in a tree store/nursery. I just wanted something different than the normal mangoes I normally eat.

Rock ledge Gardens is more than reasonable compared to Lowes and HD and with many variety's that Lowes and HD can not match and is close to you location!
You can take your chicken wire and create an inner liner with aluminum screen(used for windows). Has worked like a champ at my place when the squirrels were still getting their paws thru the chicken wire.
Thanks Brett...other than the large holes I think it should work? But wish I could find something with smaller holes so the critters can't chew through it...but have the same 'easy to work with' as chicken wire ...the ones with smaller holes are very stiff and need pliers and are capable of doing some serious injuries to your hand
Appreciate the picture!
My Maja should ready by late July
here is the tree
Any other ideas? Does the bumpiness on the fruit distort it beyond recognition?
Has the fruit always been bumpy like that?
From the looks of the fruit only, I would say its a seedling. Can you confirm it is grafted and this is indeed the graft material?
Does not look like any NDM or Okrung I have seen.
I got the tree from either Home Depot or Walmart about six years ago so I would have assumed it was grafted. I lost the id tag as I was transporting it and several dozen other trees into my pole barn during likely freeze mornings when they were all in buckets.
Can you please post a close up picture of the graft union. Its the odd "bumpiness" to the fruit that I have concerns over.

That green tape looks too tight///// Is it? The tape securing the tree to the pole. Looks to me like it has indented the bark in another place previously
Better to use an old rope. Or I have an old electrical cord doing it.
Is this tree grafted? Did you look for a graft line?
