Does anyone know a local (south Florida) source for Calabash mango trees and if they have a different name locally.  That is what they are known as in Trinidad. 

I've got a handful of governor plum seeds (15 - 20).  I am not sure what they are known as locally but in Trinidad they are called governor plums. 

I have tasted paradise and thy name is Neelam.   I am willing to trade any of the following for a Neelam Mango tree.  I have tasted it and it calls to me.  Take your pick from below but deliver unto me my addiction . . . Neelam. 
7 gallon mango
Pickering
Lancetilla
Madame Blanc
Madame Frances
Choc Anon
Dot
Fernandin


7 gal Jackfruit
Black Gold
Golden Nugger

I have an obscene amount of 3 gal containers and I need 3 or 4 25 gal containers.  I am willing to swap up for larger sizes for anyone who is interested in the local area.  I am even willing to swap up to 7 and 15 gal containers.  Name your exchange rate and you've got it!

Willing to buy it or trade one or more of the following:

7 gal Lula Avocado
7 gal Black Gold Jackfruit
7 gal Golden Nugget Jackfruit

Also willing to swap budwood for those with Neelam or fairchild budwood. 

I went on a buying spree and have buyers remorse for 3 trees.  I am willing to trade them for almost anything.

I have 7 Gal:

Black gold Jackfruit
Golden Nugget Jackfruit
Lula Avocado

Willing to trade for a mango tree I do not have or a firmer jackfruit.  (Truthfully, I am willing to trade for anything interesting including equipment, off the beaten path tropicals that I do not have (can be smaller), or virtually anything).  These trees are huge so shipping is obviously not an option so you must reside in South Florida.

I have a large 7 gal Black Gold and Large 7 gal Gold Nugget.  I need to decide if to plant them or to trade them away.  Are these varieties crunchy or mushy when ripe?  I have had jackfruit with both textures and love crunchy but hate the mushy type.  Any guidance will be appreciated.

How tall and wide do the following trees grow? 

Sweet Tart Mango
Coconut Cream Mango
Pina Colada Mango
Langra Banarsi Mango

Lula Avocado

Gold Nugget Jackfruit
Black Gold JackFruit

I am trying to figure out what to plant where.  What would you suggest on spacing between the trees (as close as possible without creating a future issue)

This beast is about 8 to 10 feet tall and in the ground.  Come and dig it up this week and offer anything as trade.  I need the space for a couple of mango trees that I want to get into the ground.  PM me with any offer if you live in South Florida and are ready to dig.

I am trying my hand at grafting and have managed to get a few to catch.  I am looking for any desirable budwood from mangoes or avocados.  I am willing to buy them outright or offer something in trade.  Please PM me if you have anything up for grabs.

I have 15 different types of mango seedlings up for grabs.  I am willing to trade for seedlings, plants or mango/avocado budwood.

Please send all offers via PM.  Ideally I am looking for someone in South Florida or who will be in the area because it is such a pain to ship seedlings.  Don't get me wrong, I am willing to ship but would prefer the path of least resistance.

We should have some sort of spreadsheet to help diagnose problems with trees such as disease and pests.  Perhaps something that has categories like:

Symptoms - Possible Causes - What to do to cure it - how often to apply -

Perhaps a picture of symptoms.


I have put together a very elementary version of this idea using the information I found on a thread showing issues with mango trees.  I would be happy to put it up as a very basic template to give a jumping off point if anyone thinks it would help. 

Something is devouring the leaves on my canistel, lychee and black sapote trees.  Any suggestions on what I can do to stop this scourge?
