Decided to Plant my Maha Chanok...

[JF]

That's the fruit that I mentioned looked pointed. now looking at it further, it also looks fatter and the shape of the seed is different.  Leos seed is C shaped while Robs seed is S shaped.  To me it does not look like the the MC that Harry and Rob have referenced and that i have planted. But maybe I'm wrong.

Maybe its a Maha Cha Not. Patrick bought one from Ebay.

It's slightly different than other MC but kind of interesting. Its probably a seedling of a real MC or another variety close to MC. My guess is Leo realize it and got wood from Florida of MC. The fruit has the taste profile of a MC so I don't know

I assumed, based on my reading and observation of MC seeds, that all MC seeds were mono, thus there could only be one MC grown from seed, the original.

That's correct. There are not 'multiple varieties' of Maha Chanok anymore than there are 'multiple varieties' of Haden or Kent.

Exactly

Whew, i am sure glad after the umpteenth time it was posted we hear from the master(bater?)...i was getting worried.  Now i can get some sleep.

And it's easy to find the maha in the supermarkets here, just follow your nose. They really smell strong and it's not a very pleasant smell.

Last week i was in the Topps with my wife and we both smelled it at the same time...after looking around we found them...between loads of other fruit..easy to find the real maha  , just follow the smell. But if this is what rocks your boat then try a real namdocmai-green. namdocmai si keo. That rocks my boat.

To add more confusion, the local nursery to me calls/labels them Maha Janok. Pretty sure they are the same (correct me if I am wrong).  Almost picked one up yesterday...

Is maha chanokaala sweeter than Nam Doc Mai?

I wrote the NDM- si keo, i still doubt if you guys have that one in the US. Maybe under another name.

And yes the sun here is stronger, this is true tropics and bangkok even the warmest city of the world by average temp.

But mahachanok is not on the markets in large quantity's as ndm. Guess why? They are even not easy to find here.

Alfonso is inconsistent in Socal. I've had some good ones but the majority have been very disappointing.

Aloha Frank. Just introduced myself in the intro area. I asked Milan the grafter for that nursery and he confirmed it's Maha Chanok. I guess the "ch" can be pronounced like a "j", hence the confusion. He said he brought the scions back from the kings mango orchard in Thailand.....

Milan is quite the traveled and experienced grower. It will be a huge loss if and when he retires (he has been saying around 1-2 years).

Well I guess first hand scion delivery pretty much guarantees its an original Maha!

It really only guarantees it a graft of what was growing in that orchard.  Not saying its not a real Mahachanok but the trees could have been true variety or they could have been seedlings.  Has anyone seen the fruit produced by Milan"s tree(s)?

The nursery owners daughter showed me a pic of one on her phone from one of the first fruiting Maha's from Milan. It looked like the mango at the top of the page but with more red and purple on it's shoulders and pretty dang colorful over all. It might have looked a little longer/cucumberish even, but my memory isn't that sharp. She was super stoked on how the mango tasted I can tell you that Not sure if the description helps. I guess he met someone over there who was part of the ministry of agriculture of the traveling sisterhood or something like that, and that was who got him into the orchard. Milan's a neat guy. I met him by chance and was picking his brain about durian when the mango came up. I can post a pic of my maha's leaves, but don't want to jack the thread. Pretty excited to try it myself...

Feel free to post pictures of your tree's leaves or the fruit from Milan"s tree if you c a/want.  It would not be highjacking the thread.

[puglvr1]

GardenIslandGrower...Please free to post any pictures on this thread...NO worries! Definitely not high jacking the thread at all like Rob said 

[bangkok]

I saw a mahachanok tree in somebody's garden today, it had many mango's but they were still green. One had a pink blush starting but they all were in full sun.

In the shops they are mostly yellow, to find one with a pink blush you have to search, maybe 1 out of 10 has it.

That scion from the Royal mangogarden from the Thai King must be the real deal. Also the Thai Princess has many fruitgardens all over Thailand and at her palaces. In Chiang mai thailand is a big Doi Kham Royal farm which is open for public, there are many plants/fruittree's grown for demonstration/education purposes.

Here you can see mahachanok from thailand.

remember that they don't grow true from seed, no matter what your selfclaimed experts will say, mono-embryonic seeds don't grow true. So even a bought scion from a seedling mahachanok is not the real mahachanok.....in thailand we buy grafted tree's to get the real thing.

Also mahachanok does not come from Florida, it comes from Thailand.

I'm tired of all the scammers on this forum who only want to sell what they've got.

Fruitlovers knows very well that a mono-embryonic mangoseeds don't grow true to type.

He acts like he has the real mahachanok but it's from a seed so not exactly the same as the real one.

That's pure scamming mate.



Don't fool me or other members on this forum.....and go wash your mouth and apologise here. You represent all Americans on this international forum, do you realise how foolish you make all of them look now?

I feel sorry for the real nursery's who also get a bad name by this and your whole nation as well. What do you think Asians are thinking of you guys if you act like this?
