What makes you think I got mad?
I had explained the reasons I do not, or even try, to grow mangos.
Then, Dmaxx69 says that I am misinformed.
I simply responded to that, in turn, by letting him know that he was misinformed.
Here is why:
The nursery that grows the young trees does, on their website, lable some mango varieties as being wet tolerant.
My assumption is the website is where he gets his information.
As I said before, they tell me to not bother.
The island of Hawaii is the largest island in the U.S. as well as the archipelago.
It is about 4000 sqmi in area, about 92 mi. lonh X 76 mi. wide.
It may be a big island, but it is small.
It is dominated by 2ea. 13,000 ft. mountains, OK volcanoes.
It is buffeted by nearly constant trade winds.
It is recognized as having 10 different micro climates, of the 14 potentials.
Many of those micro climates occur in more than just one location.
The island is covered with many small MCs.
Dmaxx69 gives his location as in Kea'au.
My guess is that he lives in HPP at about sea level, maybe further inland actually in Kea'au at a bit higher altitude.
Never the less, he is probably closely surrounded by relatively level land.
I live near Pahoa in Leilani Estates, something in the range of 10 to 15 miles away at 750 ft - guessing, but probably higher than him.
Elevation and terrain have profound effects on local climates.
I also live on the windward side of the island, but near the top of a pali.
Rainfall is high here due to the trade winds and the pali.
Just saying you're on Big Island defines only that you are in a sub tropical area, not your local climate.
Not wanting to go into all the foregoing at the time my response to him was a bit terse.
I had other things to do and was in a hurry to get to them.
I may have snapped back at B.S.Bullie after his snotty response to my other post.
That does not mean that I harbor any bad feelings towards Dmaxx69.
