The Tropical Fruit Forum

Update 7/9/24

Angie, Dupuis, Manalita, Edward and Guava all gone.

The season is starting to wind down for me in terms of varieties.
Cac
Edgars
Maha Chanok
Peach Cobbler
Orange Sherbet
Zinc

Maybe a few Pickering and Venus

 I just lost two huge soursops yesterday. I installed 13 cameras prior to it and got their license plate and filed report with police. They dont seem to care. I went through my camera and noticed they came several days ago and scouted it out but someone was home. They waited until 6 am a few days later and came back when lights were off.

 I did harvest a soursop a few days prior and when i cut into it it was completely seedless. It was a perfectly shaped fruit too. The other two fruit were on the same branch and was thinking I may have a mutation and just want to know now if the other fruit had seeds. all the fruit on that branch were setting perfectly shaped fruit without hand pollination.

O wow, thats terribile.
And thats a good type of soursop too.
Its crazy the lengths some of these people go through to steal fruit.

The first video you can see the neighbors lawn guys walk off with two full bags of orange sherbet.

The other family looks like they only got a hand full

I very much enjoyed our visit and the tour, and please as can be with the new plants! Seems a number of people have posted requests for the Aussie Atemoyas we discussed Paxton and Hillary White, but looks like they are not available.

The Angie is a really great mango, but so far the Dupouis is the household favorite! The Manilito is a bit plain but does have a touch of cinnamon taste aftertaste, which I liked but the rest of the fam were spoiled by Dupouis and Angie. Saving the CAC and the Guavo for later. Thanks for hosting my visit, Ed

It was my pleasure.
Thanks for coming

If anyone has rootstock I'd happily graft some next year

I got suruga from just fruits and exotics
I have a South Florida tree, you are welcome to scions in spring

Update on the canal bank seedling.

This year it taste a lot better.
It has a very rich classic flavor.
Maybe a little hint if west Indian resin.
A little tart to balance it all.
I feel like taste something like a Edward mixed the texture of a ripe Malika. With the classic Edward flavor kicked up on the outer parts.

If prefer it was a kent on crack but o well.

I've been looking for a good classic tasting mango and this maybe be able to contend on that front.

No disease problems and the production was better this year.

One curious thing is that the tree has multiple sized fruit that all seem to ripen around the same time.
The pasty interior problem seems to go away when you pick it mature green.

Hey guys. I'm located in Coral springs
Im overloaded on the mangos currently
I'm selling them for $4/lb. (Cash, zelle or PayPal)
Local pickup only, sorry. (Plenty of others offering shipping these days)

I currently have:
Angie
Dupuis Saigon
Manalita

I'll have a few cac, Maha Chanok, Edgar, Thai everbearing, zinc and other random ones.
I'll update the thread as I get others.

Devastated CAC tree.







Left to go to work this morning and I saw the one of the major branches on the floor.
I lost around 120lbs of near mature mangos.

I had this coming, this was a V branch structure which is notoriously weak. I didn't have the heart to trim it since it's was my main vertical on a highly productive tree.

Congrats on the Chempedak.

Smokin' deal right there

Thanks for the support
