Thanks for the info. His routes are Central & South America and the Caribbean. American usually puts them up in a hotel not to far from the airport. I don't know if there are many fruit markets in those areas, but I will tell him to look. One of these days I will go with him since he is usually off for a day or 2 while he is down there, but I normally don't bother. I think I might so that I can start trying some of these fruits myself. 

What fruits are available in Rio this month? Hubby will be in Rio and I want him to try some. What can I tell him to ask about?

Nice looking tree. When did you plant it?

Does it matter if the leaves are fresh or dried?

Oh, forgot to mention: the mangoes or seeds would need to arrive on Houston before 5. june.

Karen are you saying that the seeds have to arrive in Houston no later than June 4th or can they arrive on the 5th?

Received mine several days ago. Thanks for taking your time to do this. I really appreciate it.

I bought these mangos recently since I am trying to decide which ones to graft onto my Carrie. I have never tried any of them and would like to know when is the best time to eat them. Firm, soft, etc. Thanks

Wow thats great. Soon you will have your own avocados to eat. Nothing more satisfying than growing your own.

Sounds like a great trip so far. Have a great time there.

Thats a nice surprise to find out that it is a rare plant and it sets good fruit. Will be interesting to see how next years crop turns out.

I wished I would have seen the post sooner. I will take a perforated one if someone backs out.

Sorry, I'm afraid i can't afford 50 for 6 scions, 30 was reasonable. Anyways i rather go buy a 15 gallon cado 50 dollars.

With a single "cado" for 50.00 you only get 1 variety. With the scions you will get different varieties and not have to buy several trees which would cost way more. : )
