The Tropical Fruit Forum

Early October in F&S park there is usually plenty on the ground and a few in the tree

I cut down my mature Guava, Seine Ta Lone / Peach Cobbler (multigrafted tree) last year as well.
It was producing (both) pretty reliably for me though. I'm not a big fan of Guava and have Peach cobbler grafted elsewhere.

I had emerald quite a few times back when it was more popular (around 6-8 years ago). It was featured a few times on the Fairchild list. While those mangos might not be top notch in terms of flavor, they were typically reliable producers and clean.
Had a strong West indian flavor, a lot of passion fruit and guava notes in the resin. It was a little too acidic for my taste (same reason why I'm not that high on Sweet Tart).

My understanding is that you are supposed to treat it like reticulata and wait for it to get soft on the tree.

Later season reticulatas have problems with flavor if there aren't many leaves left on the tree. How does the trees look like in CA when its cherilata season?

I had the standard purple from PIN.
It fruited a ton by itself for a few years.
I now have a hipolito too.

I think that is where mine is from. I assume you have it in the ground? Do you remember how tall it was when it set fruit. Was the fruit any good? Trying to decide if I should keep it with my limited gh space.

I planted mine 2014, it started fruiting around 5 years later I think.
It produces buckets of fruit. Way more than I can handle.
The fruit is alright though, I wouldn't plant it again if I had only a 1/4 acre
Very similar to abiu but easier to take care, better season and I find the fruit a little sweeter.
Ive had a few different varieties but I tend to like the green ones better, the season is a like later but it's really hard to pick it right. I still can't consistently

Hey guys,

I grafted some extra ZinC mangos.
This is one of my personal favorites.
I have 2 extras, $40 each.

PM me if you are interested.
If no locals claim it I'll open it up to shipping for the states that allow it.

Hello,

I’m looking to buy mango scions of the varieties below:

Orange Sherbet
M-4
Super Julie
Piña Colada
Sweet Tart
Maha Chanok

Lemon Meringue
Philippine
Kesar

I don’t know if it’s too much to ask but I’d prefer to go and select the scions myself and wrap them on site to ensure the best possible take rate.  If you have any rare varieties you’d like to share with me I’d really appreciate it as well.  I plan to buy at least 75 at a time but I’m not able to pay more than $2.50 each.  Thank you for your time.

Of your list I have
Orange Sherbet
M-4
Maha Chanok
Pickering
Cotton Candy
Neelam
Sugar Loaf

Closing out this post for the year.
Mango season is over for me.

O nice, congrats man.
Thats a cool looking annona

I'm growing this in a pot for now but plan on putting them in the ground in 2 years.
Does anyone have any tips on soil conditions?
I'm assuming they prefer to be treated like normal plinias but I'm not sure how tolerant they are to higher PH.

I'm looking to plant inflata, and edulis as well.

This abiu I've tried and it's my favorite one out of all the seedlings I've had so far!
Skhan always has the best fruit!

I appreciate the kind words and I'm glad you enjoyed the fruit.
Sorry we couldn't meet up again this mango season.
Looks like you've been having a good bit of success in you're area, keep up the good work and keep us posted.

I appreciate the kind words guys
The season is almost over, I'll be happy to get a break for a few days

Orders closed.
