Man i hope you have the same panel next year. I really appreciate that this happened

[@-loser_lexi-]

This was super fun! The mangos were very good!

[@christophertrapp4992]

Outstanding event, thanks again for all the hard work. We greatly appreciated your info during the tasting. Can't wait to be back next year!!

[@marcuswelby921]

Paul, I hope you post the panel discussions from Florida Mango Fest 2024 they were so informative!!

[@MsFishingdog]

Great video

[@5613875]

Sorry I missed the event - as usual you are the star along with mango experts - keep up the good work...

[@tomaitoe]

Oh wow, I am sorry I missed this. I must come out next year!

[@christophermachado5187]

It was nice to meet you over there Paul. Hope you can make it to my yard here in Tampa. Thank you all who made it happen.❤

[@FruitfulTrees]

what are you growing in Tampa and how much land do you have?

[@faycarrie]

It was awesome! Looking forward to next year. I especially enjoyed the Panel discussion and the mango tasting.

[@whomeverwherever]

Heaven!!! I had a good crop of Sweet Tart mangoes this year, but repotted my Carries into 65 gallon pots, so only have one Carrie mango growing. Also have a young Mallika and K3 tree growing.

[@greatergood3706]

@whomeverwherever my K-3 has it's mojo going. Just came inside after looking at it's new flushes

[@whomeverwherever]

@@greatergood3706that’s exciting! I understand they (K-3) are rather large trees as they mature (not ones to keep in even large containers - they need a good plot of land), so I’m trying to be a bit careful where I end up positioning it! Sweet Tart is also known to be a bigger tree, so it’s already got a spot in the ground. I’ve got my Carries and Mallika in very large containers, as they stay a bit smaller and can be more easily contained - but I know my one Carrie really wants to be in the ground as it separated the concrete pavers it was on and stuck its tap root into the ground! Determined bugger, I love it. I admire when people have a good portion of land. But for now, I’m grateful I have neighbors that grow different varieties and are willing to do some trading. 😉

[@artfulwatcher3812]

Looked like a great event thanks for the video

[@greatergood3706]

My wife and I were there!

[@jonathanotero1585]

Hey Paul.. good video like always. Would love to see your Top- 10 🥭's n 🥑's list.

[@ricksmith1574]

Wish there was more on the lancentillia mango. Would love a fruit review on that fruit.

[@dawnyan5381]

My friend and I were there. It was awesome. We bought a lot of mangoes and two trees.

[@TropicalAcresFarms]

Thank you for attending!

[@greatergood3706]

What varieties do you pick up?

[@backyardmangoes4333]

Glad you had a great time!

[@whomeverwherever]

I agree maha chanook and Pickering are both very tasty. I love my Carries the most. It’s important to note, for those who may not know, that taste/quality varies by year. Rain amounts, maturity, level of ripeness, etc all play a role. So one year you may love one variety and the next, not love it as much. So don’t go off of one tasting.

[@gixxergermany]

Thanks. Great to see how the event turned out. I couldn't get tickets in time so 🤞 for next year

[@twistymcslide2]

i was sick , and offered the tickets to my ex and her mom and kids , and the night before , she got into an accident , hope i can make it next year. looks like it was a fun event .

[@EternallyEvolving-]

I have 10 mango trees all different varieties and by far the best is Pickering & Mahachanook, as some tasters here mentioned. The lady at Excalibur Fruit Trees in West Palm recommended these when we got our trees and she was right. And these grafted trees are the perfect size, not too big. Some people may not realize that grafted trees are the only way to go because planting from seed you don't know what kind of mango you'll get or if you'll even get any mango at all. We have 1 very large tree 15 years now from seed and it doesnt produce. From seed it also takes many more years to produce, and also the tree will become enormous.

[@reyn66]

Is or was there a list of mango groves that attended this event?

We got the Filipino style pickled 🌶 spicy green mangoes from BackyardMangoes.

[@greatergood3706]

My wife has hidden the two jars. Tangy and spicy 🔥 that has an impressive kick! 😊

[@backyardmangoes4333]

Thank you! We started shipping them by request.

[@peluca2be]

Tried to buy tickets but was sold out. 😢

[@greatergood3706]

The ticket availability didn't last 48 hours, a much anticipated event. We were at the Father's Day event last year. This was amazingly organized!

[@FruitfulTrees]

Next year we will have a much bigger venue so everyone should be able to get in

[@ricksmith1574]

When was this? What date? Curious because hidden acres had a lancentila mango and I thought that was a later August mango? Wish there was more out there.

[@charleslorne]

I thought the event was today and tomorrow

[@jeffery8928]

I wonder if Matt or anyone else can provide insight as to the origin of Bolt mango. I have a tree that should be ready to fruit soon and I believe it was part of Gary's breeding program...

[@s13n7ki11l3r]

He got it from Richard campbell so you would have to ask him. I’ve asked Matt about it and he compared it to a more intense sweet tart

[@socloseagain4298]

Hello sir could you recommend me some trees I can plant in a remote village where we don't really have access to water apart from when it reins during spring? Something heat/dry tolerant? We live in Bulgaria so no tropical trees I'm afraid 😅

[@FruitfulTrees]

Just check out your growing zone on line and get trees that grow in that zone but what ever you plant you will need water for them to grow

[@bhupendrapatel2572]

Where are this place can you give us addres

[@FruitfulTrees]

The event was at mounts garden in West Palm Beach

[@champagnegardening5182]

How do we get tickets for next year

[@FruitfulTrees]

When I announce you can purchase them. I don't have the details yet.

[@sharmeenahmed1576]

I heared in Florida people, they are not like all asian fruits like mango, coconut, lichi, jackfruit, mamay, jam etc.

[@neilcharles2520]

Why are mangoes so expensive?I refuse to pay $2.00 for a mango...that's complete robbery...

[@greatergood3706]

@neilcharles2520 then keep eating the ones you buy in the store. I grow my own so I don't have to pay the farmer for his efforts.

[@neilcharles2520]

@@greatergood3706 I do live in Florida,and get most of my mangoes from friends that does have many mango/fruit trees..but Aldis/Walmart does have mangoes for 59 cents on sale sometimes...Publix also has large ones for $1.25....my point was why are locally grown mangoes so expensive?And i think it's all greed..

[@SeraphimCherubim]

​@@greatergood3706 I agree. Grow your own. I'm working on grafting up trees to give all my neighbors and friends. I have a plan. Lol

[@backyardmangoes4333]

I could buy $1.99 McDonald’s burger or an $11.99 local hamburger. Quite a bit of difference in the product.

[@tarap176]

$6.00 per pound is very expensive
