Title: Wanted - Turpentine Mango Seeds
Post by: gws9b on May 30, 2022, 10:27:58 PM

I would like to experiment with some mango grafting.  Looking to buy some turpentine mango seeds to start some rootstock.  Please let me know if you have any you are willing to sell.  Thanks.

Your best bet is to walk around your Neiborhood's to spot the tree and ask to buy or get some fruit that falls to the ground. Fruit set in South Florida for Mangos has been next to nothing. this season. You have several propagators looking for thousands of seed to make trees.  There are hundreds of Turpertine trees in So. Florida.

Like Carlos said, a little inspection around your area will probably yield multiple large, old trees. I bet most of the owners would happily let you pickup the rotting fruit; a big Turp will have 100's of the small fruit hanging now and dozens of drops littering the ground.
