Hanging are a half rack of blue javas. Bottom was the description on the sweet hearts.

Thanks. My Kathy seems like it does not want to grow at all but my Coconut Cream is doing great and the Pina Colada. I pugged my Peach Cobbler but deers kept eating it and eventually it died of stress. Question should I get rid of my Kathy that is ground planted and put my LZ in it’s place. My LZ is in a 35 Gal container.

Facebook @Mangotreegrowersofamerica so others can be informed of the new mango varieties out. Anyone reporting on the Kathy Mango this year I feel like it has dissapeared fro  the radar...

Can the Goldfingers be eaten cooked? I have cooked my Blue Java aka Ice Cream Bananas and they taste fantastic. I also took a few from the current bunch that is hanging and counter ripened them and they took a little over a week to ripen but once they did they also were sweet and delicious. Such a great reward from the plant. The only thing I consider a thumbs down is that it took me almost 2 years to get that bunch.

***Banana Plants*** What are your Top 1, 2 and 3 backyard banana plant varieties?

I have tried Dwarf Cavendish and Blue Java varieties and continue to grow these. Also have some Dwarf Plantains but curious to see what is the community think is the top 3 choices. Thanks in advance!

Greetings, I have many trees in ground that are young and need tree trunk protection from the weed whacker. Anyone of you have cost effective methods that are practical and functional? Thanks in advance!

Always a battle for these 2 the ST and the LZ.... Has anyone attempted to cross the two? May be that can be called the Sweet and Sour Mango..

What was this years 2017 King of Mangos in your opinion?

Mango Season almost over... Can anyone of you experts tell me how have any of the following mango varieties...Seacrest, Marlys, Jakarta, Sunrise, Okrung Tong, Rosigold, Venus, have behaved for you?... any descriptions would be great. Also if you can put any of these against each other which one would you prefer. Actual tasters please...Thank you!

Don't give up buddy. Keep trying. May be it is the tools you are using and not necessarily you. Some have better luck with Buddy Tape vs Parafilm, others use a knife such as a craft knife others use a straight edge razor. Be patient and take your time. Now it is a good time to learn since its summer.

No fruits on Angie. The NDM is a NDM #5. I may do the NDM/Mah combo. You think Angie on a Peach Cobbler?
Well lets see here.. lets simplify this a bit...

Nam DOc Mai
Maha
Peach Cobbler
Valencia Pride
Pina Colada
CoCo Cream
Kathy
Lemon Zest
Angie

How would you pair these? Thanks....

Yikes! I had high hopes for the NMD. I get that it is not a complex mango. Would you say the NDM is as basic as an Ataulfo?

Thanks for the photo, Last night someone posted a video of the mango being picked from a 15 gal. pot. It had no scab to note, it had a slight yellow blush toward the top, and it was described as ripening sort of uneven. Kind of hard on one side and soft on the other. He stated that the mango was excellent. He stated that next year he hopes the tree will be more mature and produce a better mango. I think that this mango might be a real winner. I cant wait. He said it also had the most branching of all his mango trees and grew the fastest. This might be a great rootstock mango as well. Those Gary crosses don't play! The one I grabbed from my local nursery looked like it was on steroids, very tall with only one branch. I will cut it at around 4ft to let it branch from there since I do believe as others stated that this is going to have a Valencia Pride type of growth.
