The girls are headed down Saturday for visiting family and would like to pre order a box for their kin and another for us.
What is the best way to order. They would pick up Saturday morning on way down.
April 4th, 4 different kinds of mangos to eat:
nice..what kinds are they
I went by Alex's- place and bought a few bags of mangos this past week-- and there fantastic--juicy and sweet-- - its wonderful to wake up every morning and eat 4-5 of them !!YES
Alex, in your mango descriptions (very cool and helpful btw!) you mention nitrogen can affect the amount of fiber in a Madame Francis mango. Does more nitrogen = more fiber or vice versa? Thanks!
Hey are you going to be open tomorrow?
I've been checking out Mangozz. I'd love to get some Mulgova, but I'm concerned that the fruit might be irradiated. Do any of you know?
They are all irradiated as per USDA quarantine regulations.
Will you have Mulgova this year, Alex? I know it's not the same as the Indian one....but I hear it's pretty darned good.

Can I come buy some?
Nice, when did the fruit set?
Yes, that is definitely a great conventional treatment. Remember to alternate with some very different product, to avoid breeding resistance to Abound.
That's a bummer ....... I'm heading back down there Wednesday to get 30 more trees ...... not sure what I will end up with ...... obviously I can only buy what they have available.
After these 30 go in the ground I won't be planting any more mango until after the barns go up ( July/august completion ) ....... wonder if I should buy trees now for later and just keep them in pots until I'm ready? ........ sounds like it will be even slimmer picking if I wait
The green nodes are a promising sign. However, it would be be better to plant another tree if there is extensive bark damage. You could even think about replacing the Carrie, which has had a dip in productivity over the last 3 seasons all over South Florida, with Angie, which tastes similar to a Carrie and is more productive. I have both trees; my 8-year old Carrie flowered heavily but the fruit set is disappointing. Angie, just 3 years old from a 7-gallon, is holding on to a lot more mangoes.
Here's another one for you Har...
I've got 2 Keitt trees 20 feet apart. that are 3 years old from a 15 gallon
And are loaded with fruit, some of the fruit looks like this
I've been hitting it with 62% copper and Plant Doctor
Should I pick all these off and throw in trash?
Btw..I look forward to your talk next month at the RFC
Alex,
How would you rate Peach cobbler in resistance to the new desieses and also sensitivity to sulfer as compared to the other members in its lineage?
Which bacterias are causing these diseases in Florida? Scientific name I mean
Xanthomonas sp.
Thank you Alex. Is anybody in Florida trying Bacillus subtilis QST 713 as a bactericide to treat Xanthomonas? Theoretically is among the genera that QST 713 can control.
