FGM Tried Madam Francis after one of the members here suggested to me.
I think you did not get a good one you might have under rated it.
To me it reminds me of these mangos called mashikiyo punda from East African coast.

Yesterday I went to a local store and found mangos from Guyana called Palowin mangoes.
It tastes like pineapples. Has anyone tried these mangos from Guyana?

Thanks for sharing the pics Mawambao, looks like we are still paying really high prices for them here in the states. I've been calling around but so far we are only getting the Alphonso and Kesar mangos here. Hopefully we will get some other varieties soon.

I've been checking around the Indian Markets around town and all of them have been out of Indian Mangos since I last posted but I just called Miramar Cash and Carry and they said they have Kesars in now so you better get them while they are here. They were sold out very fast last time around.

Simon Today I had to go again to this store.Not only they had varieties of indian mangoes.They Even had Julie from Jamaica,Mangoes from Haiti ,Thailand and more of the Florida and Mexican which are common in stores here

Here is picture of Rajapuri which costs about 5 dollars each after they weigh it. Bought to try it.

Jack I am glad you survived the deadly attack of Black mamba. Sorry for the bad experience you got.

not used to use  phone for internet

Time will tell. It does not hurt to buy a few seeds and try its not that it is expensive.
Bought other kinds of seeds from the seller before.His prices are very reasonable.
Yes since we do not know about this new development we should not spoil his reputation.

PM sent

Have very limited seeds available from East African Coast.
Comes from the rubber vine family like Saba comorensis but small size like the pupple passion fruit.
Like to give to fruit collectors who can plant them and sell seeds latter. Or in exchange of seeds that I do not have.

There are Baobabs here in SFlorida where the trunk is as wide as a car.....just HUGE trees. Fairchild Garden and the Bass Museum in Miami Bch have some beauties.   

How is the taste of the fruit, leaves, and seeds?

Very good source of calcium.Taste wise you have to sugarcoat it before you eat it,Very dry.
They grow very big not a tree to have at your backyard
