Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: JF, Any update on that SoCal neighbor's mango?

JF - for the lateness ALONE it is a winner! And it is fiberless and tastes OK?
Yeah, we gotta get this one going, bro....

Greg - not to worry about the 3 mangos in one hole....I've got a triple grafted Haden, Valencia Pride and nam doc mai and it's going fine EXCEPT I'm noticing the Haden is the fastest grower as it is the root and main trunk of this tree. That is the thing we need to watch. If you want an equal portion of all the mangos, you might have to do some trimming at times to keep the race even. But your three - Haden, Alphonso and Edward are all pretty fast growers, so you picked well (as far as I can see)
And Whittier is such a perfect place for tropicals - your lows are as moderate as Socal's can get and your highs as well......good luck amigo. I'm out in Palm SPrings so a completely different game out here in the desert....

Gwenn - an escaped New Yorker here (from the Binghamton area) who came out to L.A. in 1981 and couldn't believe I was finally living in a place with palm trees!!!! I couldn't stop looking around at them for the first 3-4 years. Anyway, my name is Gary. I was Mango Dog at the "other" forum and had to change to MangoFang as "god" was taken. (Yeah, Murahlin - not a "dog" had been used here but a "god" apparently was....somebody's got a spelling problem 
yes? Just kidding....) I now Live in Palm Springs, California - headed to the desert during this lousy economy, sold the house in L.A. and bought one out here.
Have LOVED mangos for many years but never thought our climate was suitable to growing them. Yes I am 99% interested in mangos with papayas being the other 1 %. And like many here, finally decided to start growing them and have never looked back. I have a Home Depot Manila mango I bought and planted in 2003 that is my big bearer now, though I know it's not a top quality mango, until the other 12 varieties catch up in production, they will be my main stay for the time being. Still 1000 times better than those lovely store bought Tommies....
I have a partner, Joe, and two woofies - Amber turns 18 this June and Gracie is about 3 1/2. I love the generosity of so many of the members here, and offer my own help whenever I can.
Not retired but getting close and when not doing the accounting for our home based Executive Search business I just love roaming the yard and seeing what's popped out or up or gotten bigger that I missed during my last trip around back 1/4 acre. Would love to meet another person out here in the Coachella Valley who might be into this ride.
I'd like to thank Murahlin and PJ for opening this site!!!!! GREAT WORK and glad to be a part of it....
