We also have Keitt mango groves in Thermal. And it has been known to freeze in Thermal.

Both of those trees productive in the second year after i planted them. The yield is different every year. Last year, the unknown had so much fruit on it, it bent the tree down. This year, the unknown only produced a very small batch of 6-8 mangoes. The Carrie traditionally has held a small number of fruit. The tree is a dwarf, and it has decided to take a horizontal growth habit, and It stands about 3 feet tall.

If you ask my fiance, i have a plant problem. I do not live on acerage, but i have bought a couple of thousand dollars on all varieties of plant life. I have filled my front and backyard. I easily spend an hour a day watering right now, and I love spending time among my little freen friends. I take it as a personal loss each time one dies or fails to do well. I continue to collect new varieties of just about anything. I love the rare stuff, and pride myself on growing odd plants not routinely found in every yard on the block. Nurseries are like a Christmas holiday for me. I could spend all day amongst the trees looking for perfect specimen. I have made a temporary agreement with my other half that i will refrain from adding new plants to my collection till next winter/spring. It will be tough, but i must try, as i have spent a small fortune on plant life. This year has been especially bad for some reason. He understands that this is a temporary break, and that i won't be stopped forever.

Did you grow from seeds?
I can't find anywhere to get trees so even though I know all the pitfalls of growing from seeds and how it will take any years it might be my only option:'(

I know there are a few guys selling seedlings on ebay. They are from Turkey, which is like pistachio central. Depending on what your customs department says that may be an option.

Anyone out there have any experience growing Pistachio's? I have a couple of trees, a male and female. Bought them at a nursery a few weeks back. I haven't changed anything yet, they are still in the nursery pots. The male has taken off, and produced many new shoots, and substantial growth in the few weeks I've had them. The female hasn't grown a lick. If I didn't know better, I would say the female tree is dormant. Is this common for the female to be veeeerrrryyyy slow at growing?

Very nice. I had looked at Lowe's. They do not have them out here in my neck of the woods. I checked with a few Lowe's stores in the Riverside area, and they didn't have anything. I'm still trying. 30 bucks is a fair price.

Yeah, those big box stores. They can be pretty stubborn. Part of running their business i suppose. Mimosa has been craking lately . They were super busy on saturday when we were there too. Doesnt explain the all over the place pricing though. They need to figure their story out

Perhaps. I honestly have zero experience grafting trees though. I have read supposedly that it is good. I mean who knows right. That little finger variety that has disappeared into a black hole was supposed to be good too. Ive never had a sapote, like at all, so i couldnt give an opinion here

I appreciate it. Let me know

I will have to make a phone call there and let them know they blew it. I would have taken it for 40 bucks. Oh well, that sucks. I cant go back anytime soon. Some garbage.

Well, i dont know. I asked 2 people, 75 times 2, and i was like yow. I would go back, but i live 2 hours away.😢
