Then probably we are talking about the same one....Last year i saw Summer Snow mango for sale in that same shop, Summer Snow is only in Australia if i recall well.
Looks like its going to be a big tree- its its the tree Im thinking of, its grown a low since last year.I like the name; very appropriate

Then probably we are talking about the same one....Last year i saw Summer Snow mango for sale in that same shop, Summer Snow is only in Australia if i recall well.For now, except for a few private collectors, this is a tree in an individual's private yard and has not been propagated on any scale where it would have wound up across the ocean to where it was propagated for sale.
Well i have no idea how it is possible. This shop seems to have the newest mango variety's every year. No idea if they sell the real deal or just copy the name or any other trick. New variety tree's cost 10 times more then common ones and this shop only sells the expensive ones.They had more new variety's but i had never heard of them.
The trees that were recently propagated were labeled "43-26", I was surprised to see a number that would seem to indicate a column/row selection? That would hypothetically be a tree in slot 1118.

That would hypothetically be a tree in slot 1118.any idea how many were propagated? Was budwood from walter's tree grafted onto a tree in the field? Why would it have a row #, if it was just a private tree (just curious, not debating)?
First year my honey kiss is fruiting, about 2 years in the ground and it is loaded. Will definitely have to cull of some fruitlets to avoid branches snapping.
5 years later this is still the best info on Honey Kiss available online
I have been testing the new Zills at my place so I have let them go without spray until I can telll more about themThe Phoenix would have lost its entire crop and had to spray it Next to it the Honey Kiss had noneMight be other problems but pm isn’t one of them
