Actually I'd forgotten that I tasted a Peach Cobbler.
 
Unfortunately that time period is kind of a blank for me. I suspect I gave the second Peach Cobbler and other mangos to friends who came to visit my partner, who was very ill.

Maybe others will chime in.  Alex said it's excellent.  I mostly trust him, even though he likes some off-brand mango that starts with a W and isn't very good 

Oops, I probably shouldn't have posted from my favorite aunt's computer.   (mangomandan)

The first Peach Cobbler mango I tried was too tart for me.

I'm hoping the one resting on my dresser will be better.

I know it's been a while but can you give a review of this one Mangomandan?

From what I have read this is a Kent X Gary, is dull green when ripe, and has a very rich flavor. Does anyone have any more information on this mango?

I know someone is obviously trying to get astronomical marketing attention from their mango names, but I am having a bit of trouble getting my head around Plutonic Pleasure and just what that might entail.

So was I, but I was too polite to say anything.

Squam,  is O2 any good, in your opinion?

What, you don't believe in Obama-isms, spreading the wealth?  That's not your tree, you didn't make it.  It's everyone's tree.

Sorry, couldn't resist.  I HATE theives.  Sharing is one thing, stealing is another.   If I were you, I'd get me a pitbull or a couple of Rottweilers contained within a fence around your property or a CHL and just shoot their happy asses.  You have a right to use deadly force to protect what's yours.

Hey Mark,  you might actually be thingking of Reagan-isms.  http://www.rgj.com/article/20110421/NEWS20/110421053/Fact-checker-taxes-lower-under-Obama-than-under-Reagan-Clinton-?nclick_check=1

Taxes were a lot higher back then.

Do you have a Carrie?  One of the Zill boys said the birds like Carrie best.  You could use it as a decoy to keep the birds away from the better mangoes.

haha if you're in south florida and you have fruit trees, then you have rodents no matter what u do :-). They will climb your trees to eat ur fruit. My wife does the same thing -- chucks all the scraps out in the yard. The possums seem to be the first to devour it. The coons are a bit more selective. Birds have a sixth sense to tell when mangoes are 1 day away from being ripe.

Mangomandan, do you not have rodent problems by "composting in place"?

Hey, PM.    My nephew has met Rob at Excalibre and in person he is a really nice guy.

JF, tell us about eunice's ataulfo seedling, and how do we order it? 

That's great news. I've heard that Cogshall is a nice choice for those who are half French, part Irish, and a little bit German.   

I think most years (Florida conditions) I get fruit mostly from the 2nd or third bloom, rather than the first.

i know a guy with a tree, but he doesn't give out budwood...sorry for posting this...I guess it's no help.

Google earth should work, what's his address? 

And what time does he go to church on Sunday?   Just asking.

Do you have the Panama Red Passion vine available now?

Very nice!  and the bananas look good too.

Hi Fellow Members, 

About 2 years ago, I took two pups from 2 different banana's from an abandoned plot of land. This banana was growing near an orange tree and the other one was near a chestnut tree. They looked so miserable and i didn't think twice and took them home with me

For such a great deed and looking after them with the utmost care and dedication...I'm reaping what I sowed with a smile

I got to tell you folks...This naners is mighty delicious ...sweet, firm and a manzano type flavor I'm most happy to have brought this pup with me! now, I will have to wait for the other naner to ripen, then I will be able to access the flavor Can't wait










The other naner flowered about two months ago...this one took a bit longer, don't know why, since both had the same treatment

Take care,
Steven
