The website states that you can get it at HD, but HD only carries a different product then the one shown on the vendor website. The HD version is a combo product that is not shown in the vendor website.
Do you have a HD sku number for the Organocide™ Plant Doctor?
The sku is on this http://www.organiclabs.com/Images/LabelImages/Plant%20Doctor%20Back%20Label%20Booklet%20Instructions%20for%20Use.pdf
It is at the Home Depot in Jupiter and you can also find it online at Ebay.
It clears up Anthracnose faster and better than anything I have ever used.
What do you think of Valcarrie?
Mine is setting fruit for the first time this year and it looks pretty heavy. I’m 10 miles inland and had a lot of fungus issues during warm wet February but the Valcarrie panicked have remained completely free of fungus.
I think it's been closer to 5 years at this point. I cut it back every year.
A question for the experts and for those who have seen the mother tree:
A technical footnote: This isn't a Zill bred mango. The mother tree was under threat from a new road and saved via budwood. Possible but I doubt anyone here has seen the mother tree.
Jeff has it grafted onto one of his trees, a Glenn if I remember right. He has had it for at least 3 years.

Cotton Candy has been upright and semi vigorous here although not quite as vigorous as Sweet Tart
Another mango that everyone kept raving about , and one which was hard to get, was the Angie. I have one in the ground and it is fruiting for the first time this year. Has a lot of pretty looking fruits on it now. I got it based on the hype and i hope I won't be disappointed.I planted Angie as well, based on Richard Campbell's promoting it so grandly. It's a good mango--beautiful large fruit, smooth and fiberless, acceptable flavor, manageable tree. But nothing I would ever recommend based on flavor alone. Carrie has got to be sweeter.
Funny how it was all the rage about six or seven years back, considered one of the very best mangos by forum members. Now it's been relegated to a second tier position. I guess it's still one of the prettiest mangos, and the tree is definitely compact and manageable. Waiting for mine to bear--no fruit set this year.
I think it is a great mango, but does not belong to the top tier. Another mango that everyone kept raving about , and one which was hard to get, was the Angie.

True dat. Mine took a good 5 years to produce; didn't realize it was common to this cultivar.The lack of precocity can require some patience.
Hopefully we get some of the better atemoya varieties from California to plant here. The ones JF is growing. Supposedly almost as good as cherimoyas. Let's work on that, Johnny!
there is a hybrid cherisop that has more cherimoya taste. Floridians should try that.
I want to get a Maha chanok but told the husband I won’t plant any more fruit trees for a while... so before I sneak one in, I was wondering if there are any drawbacks to this mango? Any reason why I shouldn’t get it? Also I have read mixed information in regards to the growth and size of the tree. Some saw it is a slow growing dwarf while others say the opposite. Your input would be greatly appreciated
I think Juliette is a great mango from the somewhat recent releases that are not much talked about.
as far as i know buttercream hasnt been released havent heard of taralay.
Buttercream i have since last year. Taralay just got released too.
One of my sources that has access to zill said that by summer OS & 0-15 will get released. warren is correct.
What's the flavor like besides super-sweet?
I have not tasted Orange Essence, but my favorite among the others that Har and Marlys spoke about is Cotton Candy. That is an amazing mango. I also wonder why more people are not talking about Seacrest and Ugly Betty.
