Can you describe the flavor of mangosteen, which is always on the "best fruits" list?

I had high expectations trying mangosteen and I was still blown away. My favorite fruit up to now. Hard to compare without knowing what you've tried, but it tastes like candy. Super concentrated sweet, but with enough tart after taste to not make it sickeningly sweet. Closest thing I've had was a super ripe, right off the tree, yellow Thai mango. Just remove the mango flavor, keep the tart and crank up the sweet, while being soft, fluffy and super juicy. My friend thought they taste like pixie sticks

Are past winners eligible?

Why did I go with "188?" So close

My game was much easier, lol

Actually, your answer and Kaz's reply helped lead me to my guess. That and "Contest will go on until some lucky person guesses the correct answer."
Not sure if that was a hint, but 88 is considered a lucky number.

Congrats shmojojojo & thanks Kaz!

Thanks! I never win anything

88

I'm in West Covina picking up in El Segundo. I can head back up the 110 instead
of the 605 and drop off some orders at a pickup point in Arcadia/Pasadena, since
there are a few of you from there. Let me know if anyone is interested

Where is the LA pick up? I can help distribute in SGV. I'm available most Sat-Tues

Hello Bill. Update for my order.

Received my package today. Everything looks great!

Thanks again Ryan!

Amazing!

Thanks for the tips everybody! Would adding a surfactant help with adhesion? I'm assuming any "wetable" sulfur already includes a surfactant, would that be correct?

shmojojojo (big fan of MF Doom BTW, so sad we lost him), are you saying that mixture alone provides the needed sulfur?

Cool! Yeah, we lost him too soon. He was one of a kind

I'm not sure about mangos, but it's the mix I used for black powdery mildew on my grumichama. There's probably better advice in this thread specifically for mangos, but I used 2 tbsp of pennington epsom salt and 1 tpsp of baking soda per gallon and sprayed/soaked it once a week for a month. Then switched to just epsom for maintenance, since long term baking soda will raise PH. The baking soda kills the mold, the epson salt prevents it from growing in the first place. It was very effective after no luck with neem, but I would still suggest going slow and trying neem first. Good luck!

Some kind of Ficus/Fig. Maybe Ficus enormis or something similar
