Anyone going to this. Friend of mine made me aware of this. He will be hanging out in the mango section in case anyone wants to swap chicken recipes🙂
Not sure but there may be a entrance fee 😅

About a half dozen of us locals in Osceola are going to the Brevard tropical fruit Club sale. I'll encourage others to take photos and I will also and post here 🙂

Gate open at 8:00, line forms much earlier.

At last years sale, the club brought in approx 3,100 trees and returned 5 unsold.
They say we will have more trees this year.

Hopefully your son get some birthday money and we can convince him that mangoes and pineapples is his future. Bring some of his cake maybe we can barter😅

Well if you're talking about the birthday cake. I think we could probably get a cutting of Mulberry or moringa🙂

My son is closing on a house in Melbourne next Friday.  We'll be driving up Apr. 29.  Missing all the fun by one week.  Shoot!

I thought you were going to report on this event, bovine.
I was giving an opportunity for someone in Brevard County to have their say. I didn't go because something more important came up. But the reports in chatter that I heard is that the mango selection was pretty basic varieties such as Pickering Glen nothing outstandingly unique. But there may have been. Some of the grumbling is the members sale was on Friday and they may have purchased some of the premium stuff. Someone did say they purchased some plumquats. So I didn't hear anything ecstatically exciting to report so I was hoping someone else may have something to report. Someone did say that the tropical fruit Club sale in West Palm Beach is 10 times better but you would expect so

Nothing was really that uncommon. Plenty of trees for the casual gardener but not so much for us. All I bought on Friday was a sugar apple.

I don't include myself in vall's use of "us", but otherwise those were my thoughts exactly.  I ended up getting a free hour on Saturday and me and my wife went to check it out.  Nothing unbelievable (admittedly, we were there way late, like 1pm, so lots was already gone).  We walked around looking at plants, drank a cup of coffee and tasted our first longan.  I've wasted hours on worse stuff.
