charity boxing match between you and Rob at Adam's tropical fruit expo? Just saying....for a good causeI wanna see Rob and Mr Clean go at it mma style I'll be the ref! I'm telling you what we could sell out the hard rock for that!
SunWorshipper,I will tell you this, last year I had MANY different mangos and I would rate the Honey Kiss right up there with the best of them! In fact I have been waiting for over a year now to get a tree! Gonna wait until next year for my tree! It's the only mango my 14 year old daughter will eat and also my wife's favorite mango hands down! Not my #1 but I'll tell you this I would never kick her out of bed!
If you love both Edward and Kent, I would guess you'd like Honey Kiss. It's not hard to believe its a seedling of Kent - there are similarities. It sits on the milder end of mango flavor wheel: sweet, sunny, mellow, vaguely "tropical." It's difficult for me to say which is the best tasting out of Edward, Kent and Honey Kiss... they're all good ones... but I'd probably take Honey Kiss.
It's got a very "agreeable" character of flavor that I could imagine being likable to most and objectionable to very few.
That being said, I have never heard anyone say its their favorite mango or go insane over it.
Now Maha Chanok, on the other hand...
Weird. South Coral Springs here and mostly just wind.
Same here, Sample/Riverside. Lots of thunder.

You can always go lo tech and knock them off with a garden hose as many times a day as possible. IIRC diatomaceous earth is something they do not want to step in....put some at the base of trunkThanks for the tip! Will give it a try tonight
Are ants harmful to mango trees?Jeff, it seems like they are eating all the new leaves on the very top of the little 3 gal tree... Not sure if that's harmful or not but I don't like it one bit!!!
Yes Rob I sat there and counted with a magnifying glass and a chopstick..... LolHey guys I have a small 3 gallon Providence mango tree with thousands of little black ants on it, do I spray for ants it appears there are no other 3 gallon providence mango tree with thousands of little black ants on it, do I spray for ants it appears there is no scale on the tree or any other pests on well the tree .thanks for all your help
Wow, you actually counted thousands??
You sure no small scale or aphids?
I will second what Harry said! One of the nicest guys in the world, answers all my stupid questions and has givin me invaluable knowledge! And I personally love his smart ass comments and sarcasm!If you are referring to bsbully , I suggest you meet him one day, because he is a very nice guy ( no, Rob didn't pay me to say this) who just has strong opinions, agree with him or not.
Well, having met Rob through this forum I must say that truer words were never spoken. He is a very nice guy in person and easy going well beyond what you may expect him to be based upon his forum posts. His passion and knowledge about fruits, horticulture in general and mangoes especially is top notch. He expresses his passion in a slightly.....let's just say edgy, sharp manner on occasion.....but that's his style. Well, maybe not slightly or occasionally.....but that's him and love him or hate him on the forum you should get to meet him in person. I swear he doesn't bite.....well, not that I have observed or heard of yet.
