:) Welcome. I've bought many fine trees from Excalibur through the years.
Miss Linda, which one is better, Fina Sodea or Ortanique?

Did Sheehan receive the name lists I did in Portuguese and Spanish?

No I did not. I guess I will have to stop by some time next week and pick it up.
Thanks for taking the time to do that for me.
-
Is Excalibur wholesale or strictly retail?
It's both...just make sure you ask for someone who can spend some time with you looking their selection if you have any questions.
-
Retail only as far as I know. Unless you consider a 10% discount wholesale pricing :-).

No.

Does Excalibur expect to have mango fruit for sale soon?

very close on a bunch of stuff...give a call next Saturday just in case but I would say more like in two weeks. Trees seem to be holding a lot of fruit but size seems a little smaller than usual.I sure hope all this rain does not cause splitting, dropping and watered down fruit.

I can already report that Glenn is washed out this year :(.

Yep. The first couple that I tried from my Glenn were indeed washed out :-(.

Unfortunately it happens in sandy soil here in Palmn Beach county too. When you get the kind of rainfall we've had lately you inevitably get "issues".....more anthracnose, more internal breakdown, and some 'milder' mangoes tasting insipid. Glenn in its good years is quite flavorful.
-
Excalibur currently has a good selection of mangoes...Haden, Cogshall, PPK/Lemon Meringue, Glenn, Florigon, Carrie, along with a small amount of PSM, Quidnau and Dupius Saigon....more varieties will become available as the days roll on.

Nice haul Mike. Excalibur is one heck of a place and worth visiting at least once if you are in the area. Many times if you live closer.

Rob, any idea of the cultivar of these bananas...Best I've ever had. Would def pop a couple of these in the ground...

Please call 561-969-6988.
Mods - I know this is not direct tropical fruit related but it IS indirectly related as the puppies are owned by the owner of a prominent tropical fruit tree nursery in Palm Beach County.
-
?
-
Make a better ad Rob! Where's a pic of the puppies. You gotta make the people want the puppy!
-
what cultivar is the puppy, and can it be grown in a container?
also wondering if it's dioecious.
Please call 561-969-6988.

;D !!
-
Aha,
the cultivar is "creams"
How's the taste and texture?
-
This particular lineage is noted for long life and a fondness for mangos.
I would be first in line if my better half would tolerate one more critter in the household.
-
I don't have any pictures from yesterday but here is one from two weeks ago. By creams they are English/Irish Cream Golden Retrievers with full AKC papers. Their temperament is a bit better than the "classic" golden golden retriever and very loving and loyal companions.

Again, please call 561-969-6988 for details or to make arrangements to see them.

In my prior life as a meter reader for FPL, pit bulls would start gnawing the gate when I was still two houses away, Rottweilers would hide in the back corner until I was inside the yard and helpless.
Golden Retrievers wouldn't let me leave the yard until I had played fetch with them.
-
We're in Western Palm Beach Co. and the first few Glenns we got were indeed "watered down" and a big disappointment, considering our 7 yr. old tree @ 12ft had about 100 fruit. Last year we had about 10.
We are near the end of the harvest and the quality from the first few has really improved. The fruit are large and flavorful, without the watery taste.
-
my mom would buy one of those dogs! i might have to show her a pic...how many left? any males?
they look cute as all get out.

Only one left, a female...and she is an awesome, loving pup.
-
dang! that was fast!!
my mom has a female golden and loves the pale coloration...she wants a male, the dog she's got now is a bona fide bitch....so she wants a boy again I'm sure..her male recently croaked.
-
Excalibur exchanged a Mahachanok mango tree for me which was planted in March but didn't seem to want to grow. Rob ("bsbullie") was kind enough to assist me with this by contacting Linda Wilson. :)
-
I have seen those Cream Retrievers and they are awesome looking dogs! My experience is that most Golden Retrievers are too friendly to stop burglars. They just show them around the house and want to play ball!
Great dogs with kids. I know, I had several of them over the years. Golden Retrievers that is.
Excalibur offers a very unique dog! A photo would be great.
Take Care Robert and say hello to Richard for me.

I remember seeing two myrciaria-plinia-syzigium looking plants. They looked quite old, and small (2-3ft) and weeping.
I wonder if you have any more? smaller ones for sale? I tried to purchase one of the neat weeping plants I saw at Excalibur, but they were understandably not for sale.
I was amazed by the diversity and size of fruiting trees I saw! (100 gallon illama, and green sapotes fruiting???)
I will certainly be back to buy some plants soon!
-
Nothing like home grown tomatoes! Those setups are a steal!!

Harry, I think you planted a Tog Bi Golly in 2009. Have you tasted it yet?
(Or input from anyone else familiar with this cultivar would be great.)
Thanks.
-
And also.. It was thought that it may be the same as Ivory? But that may have been debunked??
-
I saw both. TBC leaves are very, very, very, dark green. Moss dark green. The Ivory I've seen, the leaves are light green.
-
I purchased what was marked Tog Bi Con from the Broward Rare Fruit and Veg Council plant sale and planted it out. It fruited this year and it was exactly like Ivory. Then when I spoke at the BRFVC meeting this last summer, we toured the nursery grounds and I was shown their planted out Tog Bi Con. The fruit on the planted out tree was not Ivory....not even close. This fruit was smaller less uniformly shaped. I came to the conclusion that what I had previously purchased was not Tog Bi Con but rather Ivory, mis-marked. Tog Bi Con, the in ground version, at BRFVC nursery was quite good. It was sweet and fiber-less but not all that meaty. Ivory seems to provide more bang for the buck fruit-wise, but flavor-wise, for me, they were more or less on a par.

Now is the time to come get that special Christmas or Chanukah gift. We have one of the largest selection of mangoes in sizes from 3 gallon to 500 gallon. We can also deliver and install any of trees you purchase, especially the larger sized trees. Forget the Lexus with a bow in the driveway, imagine this 100 gallon Pickering in the ground on Christmas morning....we can even put a bow on it for that special touch.

Is Excalibur selling mango fruit yet this year?

I called yesterday and they said there was Glenn..and I think someone else told me Cogshall...

Nishikawa trees look nice. I might have to get one myself. ;) I still don't have that avo in my orchard. Don't know why but it's not a popular cultivar here.

wondering if Excalibur has any Maha Chanok mangoes or Angie mangoes...I have a couple people asking about them.

please tell me what mulberries Excalibur has now? (or will have soon)
last time I was there i got thai dwarf? (is that name right?) and green mulberry....
I need to keep collecting...and I know you're hiding some stuff in that jungle!

Has anyone tried their Excalibur mango ??? I called the nursery and asked for thier best tasting mango they told me it has to be Excalibur???

Yes, nothing to run out and buy. They dont ship either so unless you llan on being in the area, you will need to seek out nurseries that ship.
-
Does Excalibur have Pickering, Mahachanok, Kari (Starfruit), and a decent sapodilla in 3 gallon sizes currently? Only interested in those sizes my brother is down there and can take back to me whatever can fit in a carry on/overhead bin bag on airplane.
-
When I was there last everything I purchased was on the ground. I don't know if they have a nematode certified area or not if you are trying to do it legit. I don't know if you will be able to sneak potted plants in on an airplane.
-
Not a good idea. California has good reasons for stopping non-California-certified plants at their border.
Several plant diseases that California now has are due to enforcement lapses.
-
These plants are going to Canton, GA not California. They would be in a greenhouse (in ground) there. If you can drive a mango across the Florida-Georgia border you should be able to fly one no?
-
Of course. The discussion was only about California, and Arizona, and many foreign countries.
-
I see that Excalibur has nematode certification to ship to Texas, LA, Arizona.

I know Georgia doesn't have the restriction so it doesn't matter but I'm curious do they have separate stocks then for shipping to restricted states?
