I'm in the market for a 7 to 15 gallon White Piri. All I can find available down South is 1 and 3 gallons.

Hey there! The peak of the season fruit tasting event at Starbucks sounds fantastic! I love trying different types of mango and tropical fruits. It's excellent that Eke Pono is traveling around to find the best fruit for us. I'll donate to support him.

Thank you.

I'm interested, Vincent. What do I need to do to attend? I'm looking for an Orange Sherbet as well but looking for a true 7 gal size.

Vincent · « **Reply #31 on:** June 12, 2023, 09:54:59 PM »

Just 3gal available. Will add you to list. Are you bringing fruit?

cotter pin · « **Reply #32 on:** June 13, 2023, 10:04:51 AM »

Sorry no fruit, we lost several trees in Ian, but looking forward to attending with my wife. I have a seeding that is producing, if the mangos are decent tasting I will bring a few. I'll take the 3 gal., what price range are the 3 gallon mangos? Looking forward to the event and meeting some locals.

If you can contribute to the purchase of mango it would be appreciated. Trees will be $55 .

Just harvested Dwarf Hawaiian that was excellent. Still early in 9B most of our fruit will be several weeks before they're ready. Been getting my mango fix over at 10A was introduced several weeks ago to a turpentine mango that was extremely sweet took a bite of the peel off and squeeze it like a Capri Sun with a Flintstone vitamin crushed into it LOL.
Other observation is Angie seems to be a carrie light. The Carrie mangoes are extremely delicious this year. Bombay seedling the drops have been Bland but finally picked a Sunkissed ripe one off the tree that the sugar level was extremely high and had a tangerinish flavor. Looking forward to the event.

This is small compared to the average size on the tree but it had a powerful flavor

The advanced tasting party has already begun. Going by a East Coast grower which I refer to as Area 51. Then tomorrow going to West Palm Shores and hanging out for several days with the West Palm Beach folks. Back to work for one day to assess the damage and headed straight over to Punta Gorda. My early season thanks to friends has been very fruitful. From mid July through August I'll be able to stay home and harvest and enjoy my own mangoes

If you can pick up a few ST Maui's trees I would be happy to purchase one from you at the event.

Stop by forum member Palm City today and picked up some Carrie that he donated to the cause. Got a text message with a photo. Looks like Bombay seedling is starting to have mangoes ripening. Most likely I won't be coming empty-handed. Hope Starbucks won't mind if I bring instant coffee I drink for the effect🙂🤪

Starbucks will appreciate your business and attendees will appreciate your mango. Thank you.

Vincent · « **Reply #42 on:** June 29, 2023, 09:51:33 AM »

In addition to mango, there will be 3 gal Zills grafted trees of Lemon meringue, Orange Essence, Orange sherbet, M-4, Sugarloaf, Pram kai mea, Lemon zest, Mahachanok

paid $50 a tree- they are available at $55 ($5 to cover gas)

These trees have been hard to locate

About to Launch towards Punta Gorda in a few hours. Should have enough mangoes for 1 per person for about 40 people.Most on the counter others in the refrigerator. Some will be ready to be eaten others will be taking home and given a few more days. Hopefully nothing has gone over but it is hard to time and event🙂
