I picked up a couple of "geopots", from Pepe at the Yellow Green market when I was in Fla, in Dec, I used them to plant those bare rooted mango trees in.
I like the idea of how these kind of "pots" air prune the roots, and cause them to grow laterals. also better filtration and air to roots, is better for most plants.
plus since they fold, they are easy to transport in my suitcase.

That's some big mangoes you got there. what variety are those? Keit?

Yes mura, I filmed this last weekend, while visiting a friends new farm he just got. I asked someone locally, they tell me its been some time since this tree has produced any fruit.  it even looks bigger in person.

Most people just cut them down when they stop producing fruit, since the farm hasn't been in use for a while I guess no one was around. I am glad they didn't. heck the thing is still alive too.

Which reminds me, I'll ask my friend to not chop it down. 

Seems the land there is really fertile, the banana trees are also huge, I even snagged me a bunch of manzanillo bananas, not sure what they are called in the states, these are the small thin skinned types with a apple-ish taste. anyway I filmed all that also, I will try and get those clips edited and uploaded soon.

I read that the Oro Negro variety was a seedling also, believed to be a Haas crossed with another tropical variety, its possible your neighbor has a similar type.  I am looking for a tree like that, an avocado that has a high oil content that grows well in the humid tropics.

Hello Folks,  this is the same Tropicdude from the gardenweb forum.  real name is William. I am a Florida native, that lives and works in the Dominican Republic.

I do not have a lot of land to work with, so most of my plants are in containers, my dream is to get a few acres and fill it up with tropical fruit trees. 

My profession is telecommunications,  and I work at a Cable TV company, as head tech in charge of the headend.

recently I have been loaned some land where i have planted around 3 dozen or so papaya plants,  and will start adding a few mango trees on that lot also ( running out of room in my back patio ).
