He should go there, for sure!Anyone around Miami have some white sapote fruit for sale? I'd like to try one but I can't really find it for sale.
Fruit & Spice Park has multiple white sapote trees
Did you find any additional mangos in the area or anywhere else?Fruit and Spice Park
Went and had a great time. Thank you!

I’ve heard about removing the canopy when the roots are disturbed/damaged. We do this with mango trees that are downed in hurricanes. My keitt mango tree never recovered but avocados are stronger treesI've always thought of mangos as being stronger, more resilient trees, but I guess they have to be healthy and have all their needs met.
Removing the same percent of canopy as roots has been a pretty solid plan for all my transplants. Man, I severely cut some trees back in my move, both roots and canopies. The vast majority of them made it. So sorry you have to take your plants outThanks, Kevin.
I moved some 6 ft tall trees it was kinda hard because you need 25-45gal pots to keep the rootball mostly intact and then it’s very heavyI know trying to keep a rootball is important. That's where I might have some difficulty. I'll instruct my son to bring the largest pots he has available. I'm not so concerned about the mango trees. It seems next to impossible to kill a mango tree as long as you're minimally conscientious.
Easy, just dig around it to where you get 90% of the roots since it is a small tree.Great! Thanks for your help. (You, too, Eric.)
I just dug up a small 8yr old avocado tree last year from a guy's yard ($60) that wasn't looking to healthy, wimpy, leaves looked like they were not healthy and small. Took 10 minutes to dig up, didn't have many roots at all. I stuck it in a larger pot (free from my nursery buddy) and now it has recovered and doing well. Planning to graft it up with Seedless Krueger and make it worth money ($200).
I know, but I couldn't resist. Mexico has a President for the Distrito Federal (Mexico City), but the rest of the country is ruled by the cartels. At least the corruption in our own country doesn't usually involve killing people--stealing from everyone yes, but killing no!Probably has to do with the Mexican cartels putting bullets in the heads of people. Favorite targets: politicians, journalists, environmentalists, farmers.
I think he means mexican vs guatemalan vs west indian avocado.
My personal opinion is guatemalan is much better than mexican avocados.
I've heard ticket sales have increased significantly. Don't delay if you were procrastinating.Now that's a purdy mango!
Our first tree ripened mango of 2025. Rosigold and Rosa are starting to color up also.
Hi everyone,I have to ask. Why does this bother you? If you want the fruit, you can ask them if you can pick it.
I'm a new(-ish) homeowner. I've noticed that some houses in my neighborhood have giant, ridiculous fruit trees. Particularly citrus trees, avocado trees, some loquat trees, that are 20-to-30 ft tall and loaded with a ridiculous amount of fruit. Too much fruit. Hundreds and hundreds of pounds of not just fruit, but the same fruit, all ripening at the same time. Due to what I'm assuming is a combination of how much fruit there is, and how high most of it is on the tree, the homeowners seem to just sort of give up on even trying to harvest most of it.
How do you avoid ending up in this sort of situation? Of course you could only plant naturally dwarf cultivars, or use dwarfing rootstock, but is there a good way to prune standard fruit trees that keeps them small? If so, are there any guides, videos, etc in particular that people would recommend to learn those pruning techniques?
Thanks for any help.
