Hopefully, I'll be home next time they come.
I'll talk to my neighbors next time I see them.

Since some of the fruit is hanging over their yard and they have always been cool with me.
I'm hoping I can at least give them a cost so they can send an invoice and get a few free cuts

 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.

I have a surplus of Peach Cobbler, Orange Sherbet, and CAC mangos.
I individually wrap each mango with plenty of packing paper and can fit around 9 mangos in a large USPS flat rate box 12x12x8
I'll put 3 of each variety in a box

I'm asking $75 a box including shipping.

I can ship to the states that allow it. (Can't do CA)

Please PM me or post here.
I can only fill around 10-15 boxes
I plan on shipping them out on Wednesday (7/10/24) so I'll take orders until 9:00 PM EST 7/9/24

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

61
Manilita is all gone.
Dupuis, last weekend for a good crop
Guava mango is in but its a very short season.
Last fe Thai everbearing as well

Angie still going strong and Cac starting to flavor up

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

Anyone have some more recent experience with son pari? How has it performed for you? Growth habit, disease resistance etc? I have a smallish tree with a few fruit, hoping it does well long term. Planning to put in ground next week.





It seems to do fine down here.
My fathers tree has a good crop considering the general lack of care.
I haven't seen much disease yet, the flavor has been fine but nothing amazing.

I ate a big one next to a small one today and they were very different.

The small one is sort of Dot tasting

We can figure out the seed to flesh ratio with the pictures below.
I think I picked the big one to early since it took over a week to ripen outside.
I have 3 more on the tree, if the big ones mature to somewhere near to the flavor of the little ones this will be a keeper.

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.

The one that huertasurbanas sells seeds of is good. My friend has grown it out to fruiting and it is way better than whatever has been floating around in the US for a while. Its worthy to grow for its fruit I have been told.

Thats great to hear, mine (from huertasurbanas) is finally fruiting as well.
Expecting good things

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: 2024 FL Mango Season
« on: June 06, 2024, 02:23:29 PM »
Here is something I could find to illustrate it
https://www.lsuagcenter.com/articles/page1685634973518

The general idea is that having a tree that looks sort of like the Capital letter Y creates a point of stress right in the center for both branches.
Both branches are essentially pulling in opposite directions at the center and this can easily split the wood.

I believe Truly Tropical has some videos of Har talking about this topic as well

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.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Zill selling mangos this year?
« on: June 03, 2024, 10:45:47 AM »
I know everyone here knows that there are two Zill family mango operations but just wanted to mention it on this thread in case we have new people reading.

ZHPP, Gary Zill's nursery is great for trees (the public can't buy trees though) but not great for fruits.

Zill's Mangos, Water Zill's farm stand, is great for fruits

My personal opinion

72
Congrats on the Chempedak.

73
I also have
2 grafted scarlet and 1 grafted ESALQ in one-gallon pots on Red Jabo Rootstock
Budwood comes from fruiting trees

It's not the most ideal rootstock but I wanted to try my hand grafting Jabos.

$50 each

Smokin' deal right there

Thanks for the support

Sorry to hear of your loss.

But I am a bit confused; you think Brian sending you a card only makes more sense than customs took your exotic seeds that were shipped without you acquiring proper permitting?

I have ordered from RainDanceSeeds/BL several times, and he has never sent me a card. Feeling jelly.
LMAO

@OP I'm sorry to hear about your bad experience
