Curator's Choice Trees: Wild Mangos (2017)
« on: May 23, 2017, 07:15:49 AM »
Came across the 2017 list recently. Didn't see any post concerning it yet

The Siamese sounds interesting. I wouldn't mind putting a kastooree on my canal bank to see how it does with fungus.

Thanks for sharing.  These were previously on Curator Choice lists in the past:  Kuini, Angie, Fairchild, Mallika, Nam Doc Mai, Rosigold, Cogshall, Manilita

I've got enough mangos that I have lost interest in driving long distances for mango festivals.
www.FLMangos.com

110+ fruit trees/plants; 60+ mango trees; 9 jackfruit; 6 avocado; 3 persimmon; longan; and a dog that keeps raccoons and squirrels away.

And it ain't what it used to be!  I went about 25 years ago.

there's a related species to kasturi, m. griffithi.... frankie told me he found this tree growing in a flooded rice paddy.  that one will do well in your canal for sure!
