Hi all, I'm trying to clear some room in the backyard so I'm selling some mango trees.  For sale I have:






15 gallon grafted Rosigold Mango tree. This tree is very well developed and five feet tall from the top of the pot. This tree is known for being one of the earliest mangos of the season. $150




Cogshall Mango tree grafted in 15 gallon pot. This is a very developed tree that measures 4 feet tall from the top of the pot and about as wide.  $150




This is a very mature 7 gallon grafted Fairchild Mango Tree. It measures over four feet tall from the top of the pot and three feet wide. The trunk measures almost 2.5" wide. It is ready to go into the ground or a 15 gallon pot. $125





This is a 7 gallon Edward mango tree. It is almost 4 feet tall from the top of the pot. $75

Frank, your Moms backyard looks great!  It is starting to look like a jungle!

Bill

This is very exciting. Amazing that a Garcinia seedling would flower that small. I'm still trying to acquire one of these so if anyone has one that they are willing to part with please contact me and I'll give you more money than it is worth. 😄👍

Bill

OK.  So the tree is about 25 years old and more than 24 feet tall.  How wide would you say the tree is?

And to be clear you are saying this species Rusty was not Philips favorite variety of Garcinia.  Do you know which variety was his favorite?

Bill

PS  Paypal sent.

Interesting fruit. What does the fruit taste like?  Where does it grow? Shoreline? Foothills?  Mountains?  What Does the tree look like?  There isn't much information available on this garcinia species.

Bill

Smaller overall fruit size then Achachairu?  I thought Madruno was 2-3" and Achachairu is 1.5-2".

Bill

Tomas since you are the only one who has tried this sweet variety, how would you compare it to Achachairu?  Or any other Garcinia for that matter. I'm trying to get some feeling for the quality of this fruit.

Thanks
Bill

That is good information on the cold sensitivity of G Acuminata.

Thanks.

I might be in the minority here but I love big avocado shade trees. I have a sharwil in my backyard that I plan on letting get as big as it wants. Avocados are a great fruit that is impossible to have too many of. Everyone on your block will be willing to take any extras you may have.

New topic on the sweet Madruno posted here.

Ok.  So I guess my question now is has anyone tried the Madruno sweet variety that Sadhu is growing?  If so how much better is it?

Bill

Everything at my house has been doing great!  The summer started slow but everything is growing well now.

Bill

What I'm trying to figure out is if seeds are obtained from a supposed superior strain of Garcinia does that mean that the seedling will have the same superior traits?  Sadhu at GOVARDHAN GARDENS has what he says is a sweet variety of Garcinia Madruno.  Is it worth trying to get seeds from this supposed superior strain?  If Garcinias aren't true to seed than seedlings from this variety could be average or subpar.  Am I correct with this reasoning?  I don't want to go thru the hassle of growing the plants from seeds if the resulting plants aren't going to carry the superior traits.
