Zands - what I didn't mention was there is going to be a 5 foot shared property blockwall on the
east side of that strip of land. And what I'd thought I'd do when the mangos come into season
was to unroll and attach a 5 ft. temporary wire fence, around the front and east sides of that
strip of property...don't know....will do something to deter if a problem appears....
And - will plant the Mallika (think GREEN mangos) closest to the street
PLUS - most people out here wouldn't recognize a mango growing on a tree believe it or not-
this is not Florida where they are commonly seen - so I have that going for me (although the
Mexican gardeners probably wouldn't mistake it!)
Anyway....we'll see how it goes......
JFruitW - thanks for the chop and dig advice!
My Bangkok friend - they are what they are and unless we do what 007 suggests - do a large
group order and bring the cost down - we are stuck with Mimosa, and yes Costco and Lowe's/Home
Depot and get those those horribly high LaVerne grafts - I'm not so impressed with those either
to ship from Florida
And I think I agree with Squam - not sure what our state can do to ease restrictions a bit to allow
cheaper importation, but they have their multi-billion dollar agriculture business to protect, and thus
the $49 (is that it?) phyto-certification requirement.....
Ah, if I had to do it again.......
