20 inches of rain in a short time will do that. concrete jungle doesn't drain well either.

I thought the same thing. They did pretty good job with some of the other new names, but watermelon splash just isn't appealing to me as a mango. Renaming seacrest triple sec bothers me too.

« on: November 29, 2022, 09:29:15 AM »Yepp definetly Dabai,
Also wampee, had some big really sweet ones the other day! WOW delicious. Better then a Lychee IMO. And the tree does give fruit yearly in abundance here while Lychee is always patchy even in the highlands.
wampee definitely belongs on this list.

« on: November 15, 2022, 10:19:36 AM »I have had some really good Hog Plum (Spondias purpurea). But you don't hear much about it.
Are the urushiol levels or the risk of contact dermatitis/allergy a problem? The descriptions suggest the contents are higher/less localized than in mangoes.
Given that it's a semi-arid species (hence the urushiol, which acts as a waterproofing/anti-desiccant agent), I'm surprised the agricultural uses have focused on Florida and not California or Arizona. Too much risk of frost in the desert?
probably. they are barely able to survive winters on the southern coasts of Florida

The wife and I are okay. Ive road out several hurricanes but that one was by far the worst. Ive talked to Mike he is okay and have heard Jay Reynolds and the guys from fruitscapes are okay. Ive had some people calling and asking if the damage they are showing on the news is blown out of proportion and the answer is no. The damage to the island is catastrophic people are unable to get on and off except by boat or helicopter we have a friend staying with us now who was on Sanibel Island the water came up to the second story of their house.

« on: February 28, 2022, 02:28:13 PM »Just stopped by NoFo Groves and picked up a great 3gal Kathy Mango tree. Aaron is super nice, too. Even had some Cackle Fruit (bka chicken eggs) available. If I had more space I'd have gotten a Kwai Muk, as well. Definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the area
Thanks for the kind words. Always fun to meet another fruit tree enthusiast.
