I used gritty mix on my Maha Chanok mango, it has been in the pot for about 5 years now and is doing well compared to mangoes planted in regular potting mixes. (I am in Houston TX)

Great to see you again Andrew, I loved looking at your mango pics back in 2012/13. How are your trees doing now?
Hello. It's nice to see a grower in a cooler climate! I myself have grown mango trees in a cooler climate. I am in zone 6 so I have to keep my trees in pots. Years ago, I plugged my Maha Chanok during winter. I had it under a HPS light and it did start flushing like crazy. If you can't provide a grow light and heat, then you probably should wait. It is still risky. I would love to see a pic of it.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: which 5 mangoes for me - help!
« on: January 10, 2017, 10:57:42 PM »Thanks. Oh another thing about LZ is it's apparently a very vigorous tree. Not a deal breaker on its own, but a factor in the decision.
One day maybe I'll visit FL during the summer and get to try an LZ. If I flip for it, I'll have to come late to the party and get a tree. Until then though, it misses the cut.
Someone needs to put together a "Mango Excursion" guided tour of various nurseries and tastings. I would definitely participate, especially if I could find some work excuse to travel to FL at the correct time of year.
If you and others are serious, maybe a formal tasting could be arranged.
That would be awesome, few of us from Texas would also like to attend.

So you want me, BearDog and gunnar429 to wait, agonize and suffer because you are too lazy to pick fruit tomorrow.
How about picking enough for just one box tomorrow

« on: July 17, 2015, 10:56:54 PM »
Any idea what is this brown stain on some of the Alphonso mango fruit? This is the first time I have seen this issue and I did spray it with copper earlier in the year.

« on: July 14, 2015, 09:25:16 AM »for the last couple of years, I have ordered many boxes of mangoes from this phenomenal supplier but unfortunately this year due to lower supply and time time availability, Walter was unable to ship to me.
If anyone is willing to buy some mangoes for me from here and ship them to me, I would be happy to pay you for your trouble.
Thanks!
make that times 2 - Pick once and ship to me and lycheeluva. I will also pay for the trouble

Maha is not really pushing the zone since it is in container. This Alphonso is in ground for over 6 years.

Maha has an amazing fragrance. I have been sniffing it several times a day 😜
I am growing it in gritty mix in a container and this is the first time it fruited. It held 6 fruits.
