I'm in central Broward County, looking to purchase a Cecilove  mango tree, 3 gal or 7 gal pot.  Thank you!

If you can't find one, contact Alex and he can probably graft you one, special order.

You are correct.  Alex appears to be the only one currently who can provide a Cecilove. . .but I'm likely looking at a six month wait.  Even then it would be a very young tree in a 1 gallon pot.  As much as I want one, I'd like to get another tree in the ground in the next two weeks or so.  That said, my Plan B is to go with an Angie, for which I have read mostly favorable reviews.

Angie, blech (just my opinion).  If you like Carrier, then Angie is an good alternative.   It does have a susceptibility to getting scab.
