Mango Farming in California: Growing, Harvesting & Packing in Southern California

[@andrewp.619]

I put a Manila mango in a half wine barrel 4 years ago and wanted to make sure it’d survive our brutal Summers in Bakersfield. I got flowers last year and this year got my first mangoes! They were smaller, but delicious! Next year, it’s going in ground to add to the backyard orchard. Good to know they’ll survive that long!

[@Theproducenerd]

Awesome!

[@sandrahernandez9915]

Are these leaves suitable for medicinal tea??

[@jessicasaldana770]

Nice to see mangoes grow in California. Would like to see an updated tour soon.

[@Theproducenerd]

This is as updated as it gets! I took this footage at the end of mango season in 2021.

[@jczeee30]

Awesome! I miss these farm tours!

[@Theproducenerd]

This was a really fun one! If you are ever in the area, Wong Farms does do a lot of farm tours throughout the year.

[@mintzey]

Thanks for sharing!

[@Theproducenerd]

It's my pleasure!

[@peterhofman7188]

I was just out there at Wong's Farms and toured around and I didn't hear anything about cover cropping, they had several piles of Compost that they were spreading around the Grove

[@gigime5472]

Keitt variety grows quite large in South Florida. Nice fruit picker - who makes it.

[@Franko91352]

Wow this awesome…..do you sell to the public

[@offgridmangogrower]

Will you be selling golden lady on line…? Is golden lady mono or poly embryonic…..?

[@niagaramike]

How the they safeguard the trees during the cold desert nights?

[@masoganaannete3616]

Nice video and thanks. Receive greetings from South Africa. What's the reason behind for covering mangoes with brown paper bag? You don't spray insecticides or you don't have insect pests in your area? Paper bags does not affect fruit quality negatively?

[@Theproducenerd]

The bags are used to prevent the mangoes from sun damage to the exterior.

[@MistressOP]

I wonder if they grew a cover cop and mulch those trees if that could help them some. We have a habit as growers to stay in loops of growing. Those dusty floors are a timebomb in cali these days.

[@offgridmangogrower]

Please explain the micro chip pressure indicator…name or brand…any details please……?

[@tractorsreviews1017]

Nice video

[@nbandpinportugal]

The paper bags are to protect the fruit from insect damage though they may also help to keep the fruit cool.

Please tell me mam - From flower to ripening of mangoes, what are these months in your USA-I am from India

[@bobbif100]

I grow a manila mango in my front yard and I have flowers now at the beginning of April and fruit is usually pickable around October~November.

[@MYWHTTRK03]

When is mango season?

[@Theproducenerd]

Right now in CA!

[@TheFever77]

The best mangoes in the US are in south Florida where conditions are more ideal than California. Coconuts also grow in south Florida unlike California.

[@randomguy2246]

That's debatable. Sure, the climate in so flo is much more ideal for mango because of the humid heat. I tried a lot of mangoes in the Soflo this year and there were some incredible quality fruits. but, the best mangoes i have ever had were grown here in the San Gabriel Valley in California. Since we have dry, hot weather, mangoes have higher sugar content and richer flavors. I'm not saying florida mangoes arent good(theyre excellent) but california mangoes are out of this world

[@bobbif100]

Does anyone know if a Mahachanok Mango would grow in So. Cal.?

[@randomguy2246]

It grows and fruits here. Not my favorite variety though.

[@bobbif100]
