MangoFang's Yard Update March 2012
JF:
MangoDog, when are we going to start the mango pipeline from Palm Springs to La Habra? I think you are going to reach the century mark this year so you can send some my way this summer! The way you are going you are going to put the mango ranch in the Coachella Valley out of business, congrats!

I don't think that's water spinach, its leaves grow directly from the fat hollow stalks, unlike in the picture it seems to be a very thin stem. Real water spinach leaves aren't glossy like shown in the picture either, so glossy and uniform - it looks fake ;D

I was thinking either that too, its a good looking fake. Some Taro in its place would make a great replacement :). Or maybe some Lotus flowers.
MangoFang:
Thanks you Fruitaholics!
Pugles - gosh, now where did I get the Pickering - was it Pine Island? I think so....
DanMan - you know I haven't looked closely to see the difference in color, but I will now! And would like
to find some that are fragrant, or so I've heard...
Nullsie and Timbo - that IS a fake plant! Sort of a bambooish thing - to cover some pipes and a block
wall related to the pond operation.
JF - will I get a hundred mangos....hmmmm.....I'm thinking not quite, but maybe. Manny (in front) will
probably hit in the 70's, and the rest will be a "show me what ya got" event....
....and here's the rest of the trees.......
Alphonso is just a tiger - LOVES its location - Lordy I hope I get to taste some Indian mango this year!
Old Manny - from the roof - can't see them but a bunch of 1" inflos kicking out...
The 3-n-1: Nam Doc Mai, Haden and Valencia Pride. Tough to see but the Haden has a couple inflos and the VP as well - the NDM is going to be later, for sure...
And finally an All-n-One Almond (don't know what species that would be) but for the first year I got a bunch of flowers and you can see some almonds forming if you look closely(on the right upper side).....That Almond is a beautiful tree - look at the smooth bark - that trunk is going to be awsome...

MangoFang,
I am surprised to see the Mamey Sapote, and the almond. Worthy of a spot in place of a mango :). No pomegranates?, you have the perfect climate for them!
