Officially now a hype plant since Paul is telling everyone this is the greatest mango ever.

I await the 15th video of him pulling more vigorous trees out of his yard to plant this.

 

They are making some bold claims, I am going to wait until I taste a few. I'm really satisfied with Lemon Zest, Lemon Meringue and Orange Sherbet so I can't see pre-ordering a 1 gallon tree at this point. Maybe I'll graft a couple branches down the road if it is truly tropically delicious.

This is where I am on this.

Honey Kiss and Little Gem are great producers to have.

Wow, I'm in the camp to stop tipping by the end of July since we have the weirdest winters now.

Just had a few this year.

They weren't huge sized but definitely not small.

The season for them was around May/June.

Mine wont hold more than a few right now, it seems to need some size before being able to hold a bunch of fruit.

Lots of aborts this summer.

That's disappointing to hear. Anthracnose destroying the bloom?

Flowers well, just wont hold fruit to maturity from what has been reported.

Just hearing about HOA's makes my stomach swirl. Seems they are often more trouble than they are worth. Good luck!

I agree but I lucked out and ended up with 3 mangoes, 4 mamey, 1 starapple, and a sapodilla in my front yard.

This is the only HOA I ever been in that is cool with fruit trees. Tons of front yards here with fruit, maybe not as much as me though.

They even turn a blind eye to all the people who plant fruit trees in common areas by their homes.

Though if you don't mow your lawn, weed, or pressure clean your driveway they are going to bother you for sure.

Busy tipping trees in anticipation for next season. Looking forward to  mango I've never harvested from my own trees.

This is my first year with fruit, it’s great not having to buy mangoes finally.

Plus the giving away of top tasting mangoes is so satisfying when people come back so excited about mangoes.

On this video Walter says it can be picked when they show yellow.

This has worked well for me this year with honey kiss.

Too much sun for the new growth maybe.

Was the plant in full sun when you bought it?

What kind of vigor does this one have?

It's been a while since I ever heard anything exciting about mamey.
It's just not a big fruit on the meta so far.
When someone like Julian Lara says it's good, it's something of note.
His family has been growing and finding new mamey varieties for years.

If you haven't heard anything "exciting" in a while about Mamey, allow me to introduce you to the previous best ever Mamey, available from the same place

If you need the newest best ever avocado, caimito, and white sapote videos, they should probably pop up on the same screen.

Paul always finds the best tropical fruit with no history at all.

Thats great to hear.
