It is! Just try with simpler plants first, the ones that don’t mind barerooting, usually plants that grow easily from cuttings. Once you get a grip, you can move to more delicate ones. Good luck!

We only had success with tung oil that hardens when dry. No other oil stands against the harsh weather, they just get washed off.

Different flavors, both have more than one dimension of taste, super alphonso is more complex.

@@growpuravida I think what I will do is plant Honey Mango, which we get in the store & is polyembryonic. Then if they can survive our winter, start grafting scions onto them.

I remember them as dark purple which turn brownish as they grow bigger and then eventually green. The mature leaves of mallika are dark green compared to regular green of most of the Florida varieties

@@growpuravida Thank you so much for the information. I think I have the correct tree. I used to watch your videos for years. Please upload more mango videos.

We have lots of tropical fruit videos coming up; mango season is over so hopefully next year!

Haven’t tasted that one. Hopefully next year.

@@growpuravida I just found out that it is Tebow Young mango. Per a different site it's a reasonably good commercial mango, about half the size of Kent, with a mild Edward flavor, nothing spectacular. So I lost interest in it. I would like something like Carrie, which stores well for a long time. Plus tolerates down to 23F. I really want to grow mangoes here but we get about 10 freezes between 25F & 27F per year, with some years down to 23F. What can I grow with spicy complex tropical flavors?

Your best bet is to grow Julie in a big 40 gallon pot that you can bring inside the patio for winter. You can use a potting mix that is lighter and put the pot over a wooden platform with wheels. Julie is one of the best in spicy flavor group and stays dwarf.

@@growpuravida *I was pondering on Graham because far more vigorous & disease resistant. Putting in the ground. Pruning for extra dense canopy. Putting Christmas lights in the canopy. Covering the tree with Mylar blankets, then a tarp. Mylar blankets reflect 90% of the heat back at the tree. It works well for garden plants. Have never done on anything large yet. Your thoughts? Isn't Graham more productive with bigger fruit & similar taste?*

@@growpuravida *Do you know Naveed Afzal of Arizona Mango Growers? He had suggested Super Alphonso, flavorful, dense foliage & disease resistant.*

Our garden is in North Miami Beach

The problem with sand here in South Florida is that it breeds root knot nematodes, so we try to avoid it as much as possible. With root cloth - do you mean the plastic one? Not suitable for organic beds since it sends microplastics into the environment, and organic cloth like burlap would decompose in a season. Could be used with gravel or stones, probably, like the Japanese technique of putting houses on foundations of just well compacted stones.

La leyenda podría tener razón. No he visto este a la venta en ferias.

Yes, i hear that a lot. Are you growing mangos in Egypt?

​@@growpuravida I have a large farm in Egypt in Ismailia Governorate which is famous for the highest quality mango and I have high quality mango seedlings if you are interested

Depends, which tree are you referring to? Avocados can be grafted in Jan, Feb, March. Mangos not a good idea because the trees are in flowering/fruiting mode rather than vegetative growth. Other fruit trees differ so it depends. And climate/location also is important subtropics vs temperate climate, please specify which location and what tree you are grafting.

I will see what i can do

@@growpuravida thank you! That would be great. I am in Colombia now and I am able to buy mangosteens at the supermarket so of course I want durians too.

Sure. Please share the videos with your fruit growing friends, we need more tasty fruit in the world!

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks a lot for the feedback.

We made a cactus stand with tung oil, not raised beds, unfortunately the info came later)) linseed oil doesn’t last even one season. The raised beds in the video are completely protection-free, we didn’t reoil them since the year they were made, so this is what it is with 2 layers of linseed oil at the inception

No, linseed oil. Watch the video about making cactus support- we made it with tung oil several years ago, the stands don’t touch the soil but they are constantly exposed to crazy FL sun and rains, and they still look exactly the same as the day they were made!

Yes, there are so many factors why grafts fail despite a good grafting skill. 3 most important ones are wrong season( vigorous rains, dry winds, scorching sun vs cloudy etc.), wrong tree( tree not in good health or good vigor due to disease or poor roots, or scion is from unhealthy tree) and the last one is knife lacking the needed sharpness for a good cut. This particular technique is not rare, but with mangos the easier approach to top-work a tree is to slice it at the level you want, usually 4-5 ft from the ground, make a slant cut so water accumulation doesn’t rot the sliced top and then wait 2 months to get 6-8 new shoots from there to graft onto. Most people use this technique because mango trees are very forgiving to complete slicing/pugging. Where i am, the mountain winds are very crazy and the sun will dry any scion out in a day. So keeping the upper canopy of the tree intact is beneficial for me. However, this method has higher fail rates because the trunk is very thick and often times one will fail to cut deep enough to reach and expose the cambium. I actually bought a very sharp hunting knife for this. The one i am using in video i do not recommend any longer if your trunk is this wide.

Nepal

Yes i will plan to go to Egypt next August, thanks a lot for the contact info! Would like to meet you when i’m there)🤗

@@growpuravida inshallah happily wait for u 😅

It is a grafted tree

Thanks a lot for the info! 🙏

Search for Leaph Leaph in facebook

The dude carrying mask grows everything without pesticides for many years. Your logic is fake, dude.

More coming

​@@growpuravidaplease put captions in English if you do Spanish speaking videos. Appreciate it. I am in Yucatan..still looking for chempedak! This state ain't no CR!

Yoitube has a subtitle function, under every video

@@growpuravidathat would be great. I often go to Colombia and I would love to have Spanish language videos to popularize exotic Asian fruits. Colombia already has tons of mangosteens and rambutans are becoming more popular. There are some people growing durians, marangs and pulasans but not many. Don Carlos should post videos on KZbin too.

Just released a video in Spanish on Mammea americana, please watch: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZqS5aoVtmbGVhposi=E8SNLG3EwmXNXNi6

My pleasure! Glad it was helpful 👍

Haha that’s been like that for me for many years:) never enough of mango varieties!

Not Indian; Nepali.

Thank you! I’m happy you enjoy them 🙏

I’m really glad to hear that! 🤙🤙🤙

Unfortunately, they didn’t ripen until my departure :(

Thanks for watching! 🙏

Thank you for the information! 🙏

You are welcome!🙏

M4 has not been so productive but taste is very good. If you like the taste of Ice Cream go for it.
