The elusive Buttercream mango and Guava mango on turpentine rootstock finally arrive in Southern California.
We'll see how these do in SoCal next year.

i would love to see photos too.
i now have 2 Sherwoods (from you)
1 un-named
1 Li
and 1 Coco
the largest is about 8 or 9ft tall, but still very young (2 yrs)
i cant imagine these things 30ft tall and loaded with fruit.
some of them are 4 to 5 ft away from each other.
i will have to keep the ones in front (Southern) shorter
so the ones in back can get more light. when they get larger i guess.
this is the top of my Coco
it grew the fastest and produced the most.
(this year anyway)
Does anyone know what kind of morus nigra variety does dave wilson nursery has?
I didnt like the taste no sweetnes detected but sour... its been in the ground for almost a year --this tree grows pretty quick....
was wondering if it has something to do with the maturity?
im looking to pug it & graft it to a better variety....
is it possible say for instance graft a persian to a morus nigra(dwarf)?
It's hard to say. The typically grafting season is around June for us in CA. If the graft failed it should turn black/brown...
Wow with all the CRFG scion exchanges in Jan/Feb, I thought early spring is the prime grafting season with a few exceptions (say citrus). What do you typically graft in June?
This week mine started shooting out blossom shoots. It's happening!
That mango looks nice
These are just a few. Here is California everbearing

Gary is also just a nice guy. Knows his stuff, especially when it comes to soil. I buy odds and ends from him though his selection is not necessarily for crazy zone pushers. He stocks mostly plants he knows will thrive in the orange county area. Good selection of those. Nice source of figs too.
Few days ago Donald Trump tweeted out that Orange Essence is his new favorite mango. That he almost felt it was named after him/ He had his groundsman plant three OE trees at his Mar Al Lago estate in Palm Beach.
A friend from this forum sent me a small NeelKiran Mango and I thought it was delicious. NeelKiran is the cross between an Alphonso and a Neelam. It had much firmer flesh than both Neelam and Alphonso and it had a Brix of 20%. It has more of an Alphonso influence for its flavor with a nice Indian resin flavor. I cut one side of the fruit and noticed that it did not have any spongy tissue but then I cut the other half and there was minor spongy tissue. I like NeelKiran a lot more than Alphonso but I still prefer Kesar more than any other Indian Mango(Indian resin flavor).
