Here are some mangos i just picked:
Some of these i've never eaten before, like Fukuda, Harumanis, and Smith. Of the new ones only got to try the Fukuda so far. It was still a bit on the hard side when i cut it but still tasted quite nice, but nothing out of the ordinary. Has a little bit of fiber, but not objectionable. Will review the others later as i slice them.
Question about the Fairchild...is it really a Fairchild? As you can see it has a slight pinkish tinge. Is that possible?
Oh wow, those look bountiful. I haven't had Lanzones in a while, I wonder what variety they are. Can almost taste them.




















Here is my entry.....Not interested in the prize, just wanted to enter my Florida grown Cacao!you better take the prize if you win!
nice pic!!
I want at least one seed from that tree!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now that's impressive. Inside or outside over winter? Min temps tolerated please?
Another thing is S. Fla landscape. Its flat as a pancake. Durian likes a lot of water but will not tolerate standing water even for a short amount of time. What happens when hurricane passes nearby and dumps enormous amount of rain in 2-3 days? Your tree is likely kaput. This is above challenges with soil and Arctic blasts. You need fancy greenhouse with a lot of soil amendment. Its highly recommended to plant durians on slight slopes for good drainage. However when I look at the pictures of Thai commercial orchards, they are always flat. Don't know how they do it. Maybe rain patterns are different in those regions?
