Audrey doesn't monitor this channel, but growing mangos is up to your personal preference of flavor, nobody can know what you'd like until you taste a bunch

@@amt6821 we do. We have the leaves available for sale - in the nursery and online. If you’re looking to get leaves when you visit, call in advance to make sure that we have them available. We sell a lot of them regularly and are always in the process of drying more.

It can, it will still grow large and lean over eventually. Regular cutting is required, potted or in ground to keep under control

@@peezowick99 we are located in Deland, Florida. We do have an online store on our website at www.thereidfarm.com

We have plants available in the nursery

@@thereidfarm1 I was hoping you shipped them as well. I'm just north of Atlanta.

I've found research showing most of the anonna family have similar properties

@@thereidfarm1 Thanks for the fast response.

She doesn't have any, just follow her on Facebook, Audrey Dupree

Can you send me some to the US? I can email you my address

Shanti knows these plants like nobody else, I trust her completely.

@@thereidfarm1 I'm a little bit anal about it because my wife and myself did poison ourselves with inadequately prepared shoots. Obviously we survived it, nothing serious, just feeling slightly nauseous, low blood pressure for a couple of hours...that's why I insist on making a little warning about raw bamboo shoots...

​@LeChristEstRoi what variety was it that you ate raw that made you sick?

Shanti is one of the smartest bamboo people I know in the states. She wouldn't recommend it if it was bad. And from my understanding every variety of bamboo has different levels of glycosides just like how different citrus have different levels of sugar. And unless I'm mistaken, the cyanide is what makes the shoots bitter so you can taste it. However, I'm by no means an expert in bamboo so take everything I say with a grain of salt.

@@Obsessed_With_Plants My point wasn't to question Shanti's expertise. Let's try again: some varieties of bamboo have very low level of cyanogenic glycosides, hence they can be eaten raw, no problem...but we also need to clarify that most varieties have high enough cyanid content to make people sick if eaten raw. Paradoxically I think that the varieties with the highest level of cyanid are actually the safest! Why? Because their taste is so unpalatable in their raw state that you just won't eat them raw! Period! But some varieties have just low enough cyanid to make them almost palatable, especially if mixed in a salad with dressing and other stuffs, but high enough to make you sick! That's why I believe that we need to clarify that before eating raw bamboo shoots you need to be sure of the variety.

This variety is edible raw!

@thereidfarm1 good to know would hate for you to have stomach pain :)

@@thereidfarm1 You should warn people! Most varieties are toxic raw! Some people unaware of this might get poisoned trying this at home.

Yes

It's so good, has a faint cake flavor somewhere in there

Wow, thank you!

I think it's the other way around actually

.....Thank you for the information
