I believe the nursery growers supply sells  it for $19.95 a roll, the place where people were buying the grafting knifes,you might want to check them out three bucks is three bucks!

I will see if I can set it up for that saturday afternoon,so we can sit around and tell some war stories,Lol, I just have to figure out a schedule,that way anyone going to the Mango festival in the morning will have time to get together in the afternoon,just would be nice to put some faces behind the members of this forum,I am kind of centerley located between Palm beach county and Dade so if enough people on the forum are interested we can definitely put something together. I figure it would be great for a good get together without the madness of the mango festival,I will keep everyone posted and see if it is a go!

Glad you guys enjoyed the video, John travels the country doing these videos,we were happy to host him and have gotten a phenomenal response from it, he has a fantastic following and it's cool to see what people do around the country,we all are definitely on the money when it comes to creating your own edible landscapes,it seems that this trend will continue for years to come and we will all be better for it! Again thank you all for your comments,this site is of great value to anyone who wants to grow their own food either as a hobby or pleasure,and the great part is we get to enjoy the "fruit of our labor" as the saying goes! We hope this summer to have an open house to invite all forum members to stop by and have a meet and greet! Maybe we will do it the week of the mango festival so some of the out of town members that are coming to the mango festival can come by and say hello! Again thanks to all,MIKE

Hopefully if no more fruit drops we will have a few extras,it only held fruit on one side of the tree for some odd reason,will keep u posted,the few angie mango we grafted are not of good quality,again might have been poor rootstock,as soon as we get our crop and buds begin to swell i will post it for anyone who would like some budwood and they can graft their own.Keep in touch I will be more than happy to give you some budwood

We have never had it produce a big crop,have about a dozen and a half nice size mangoes on the east side of the tree only for some weird reason, the smaller fruit are also on top of the tree but as I said they are dropping like flies.Great tasting mango,I cant wait to compare it to the Young,that tree has a bunch on it right now for only being 3 years old,we will see if it lives up to the hype test.

Thanks for the mention, I think folks in south florida are lucky to have so many places to choose from and a group of people running these nurseries who are always willing to help. Unlike many other types of businesses,these nurseries all work well together in a world where knocking your competition is the norm. We are glad to be associated with a great group of proffesionals! Thanks again ,Mike Bender
