Regarding the original topic of this thread "Golden Queen Mango", does anyone know if it has been found in Florida yet?

Thanks,
Adiel

Well, a few people may have Golden Queen trees if the eBay seller sold the correct tree. Check back in the next year or so when they may finally fruit.

Thanks Sheehan.  I think you tried to save a piece of budwood from the one you bought?  Did it make it?

Jeff did the saving.  He gave me one to plant out. I guess we'll know in a few, not so short, years.

For those requesting scions of Golden Queen Mango or Jin Hwang Mango from Taiwan.  Please PM your address as there are also request from growers in Florida.  The minimum scions I could send are about 5 each for an individual as we also need to propagate them this May. :)  I think Jin Hwang mangoes will weight more if planted in Sub tropical climates. :)  I am really surprised that Jin Hwang Mango has not reached yet in California and Florida.

Burns sounds like he might burn you.  ;) But his real name is Berns. I've communicated with him many times over the years. Real nice fellow. He's deeply into rare fruits, and a real mangophile.  I haven't ordered anything from him but he's ordered from me.  ;)

I think i have the real golden queen mangotree now. I bought it from a shop with only taiwanese mangovariety's and they even labelled the tree with their phonenumber!! ;D

Also red dragon is sold in many shops now (the tree) so i guess it is a real mango variety. On the pics they look red  ;D

I think the ivory mango got it's name because of it's shape, an elephant tusk. That would make it ma-muang chang (elefant mango). I have been asking for that in the past and they had the tree for sale. Red ivory is chang-daeng which i also have now from Taiwan. It should be a big mango.

I read on mr. Duzon's website that Golden queen also can bloom 3 times a year and it is a great mango. He also rates chokanan as a very good mango though...

Is there any more new info about the Taiwanese varietys?

Here some pict of my Golden Queen mango from last season. its a 2 years old tree and plant in container














Its a heavy bearing flower and fruit...but since the tree were just too small...i decided to thin the fruit...at first i keep 3 of them but only 1 remain...i think the trees have its own mechanism :)

For the record...its yellow coloration was develop when it ripened properly after harvest. bagging with carbon paper would block the green color to develop, so when it comes to ripening process...the yellow will easily emerge.

It has a firm texture...no fiber...sweet mild almost without sour/acidity and some flavor of Keitt since it was one of the parent. it can be eaten raw green like it other parent...a thai cultivar.

Thanks for the pics. If you get a chance, could you take a picture of the leaves? I have what I believe to be a golden queen (purchased from thailand), but it would be nice to compare. Mine is really vigorous and has extremely thick stems / oversized leaves.

Today i was in the mango specialist shop where i saw 200 Red Dragon mangotree's some weeks ago. They had only 4 pieces left ands till cost 30 us$ which is a very high price for thailand. I wanted to buy Rapoza but i cannot communicate with them and i think they have never heard of it. I want Rapoza because its anthracnose resistance and because it should taste so good (and looks). For that one i will pay 30$ here not for any other.

The mangoshop nextdoor to the big shop told me Red Dragon is probably also the same as Ivory (Elephant) and Jakrapat and that someone just grows them from a species which came from seed mixed.

There is also NDM Red for sale here, they make species faster then internet can follow. Red Dragon is not in Google that means it is very new.

I think if i had loads of Rapoza mango's and sell them very expensive here they will fly out of the shops. Also the tree's will be sold quick after that. Nobody has ever seen a Red Dragon mango in real here and also not on the web. I saw pictures at some shop who sells the tree's but maybe it tastes crap.

I read you asked what i would grow if i started a farm to live from, well i would grow Rapoza in Thailand and sell them only expensive to Thai and Singapore and Honkong and Kuala Lumpur etc. Just make a hype of it like new from Hawai!

Hi bangkok,

I went to a plants nursery nearby yesterday, bought 1 small seedling of grafted mango. The seller mentioned it as Dragon King grafted mango seedling.

cheers

A true nursery abroad will most likely have a problem getting the mango trees into Florida.  If you could get it in, would need to go through 2 year quarantine that would go under approval/inspection by USDA guidelines .

My golden queen got stopped at the border and came with a tag specifying that it was my "one time" allowance (ie, further shipments would be destroyed).

The (bare-rooted) tree died, but I was lucky enough to pluck off a couple of pieces of budwood as it was entering throes of death, and I now have a pretty large golden queen top worked on my keitt -- which is totally loaded with blooms right now.

I should get a pretty decent harvest of fruit this summer on it, and if it is indeed golden queen, I will make budwood available.

It appears to be a very vigorous tree, and has the odd characteristic of very thick stems -- almost comically large.

PS, mine was purchased under a different name, the taiwanese version of the name (Jin Huang).

It is legal with the proper permits and a 2 year post entry quarantine for mango trees. Otherwise, not legal.
