Thank you

[@CosmicGlowUP]

Thx

For home gardeners planting mangos for own consumption, high productivity is not as important as taste and flavors. As long as you're not planning to plant a mango tree to share with the whole neighborhood and relatives, one Alphonso mango tree is plenty for a small family IMO.

But, if one eats fruit daly, then...

[@WebSurfingIsMyPastime]

bro, your handle/name is awesome!

I had a mango someone called a kingston. It was very dark almost orange inside, very little fiber and very sweet almost on the smaller side. The gentleman told me a friend brought back a seed from a vacation in the Caribbean. I have not found it anywhere else.

[@dustin1144]

yikes I just planted a Gary down in South dade I didn’t realize it is a poor producer. I loved the fruit hopefully mine will be successful. Any tips?

[@agriperma]

Regarding the Mulgoba, is that old 100 year old tree the only one you have, or do you have others on your property, the reason I ask, is I have read that trees lower productivity after many decades. and old plantations usually "rejuvenate" the trees, by cutting them way down to just a few main trunks and branches. maybe this could be a good video topic for you. I also agree with your assessment, your own local micro-climate may have a big effect on production, I have seen Edward mango with tons of fruit here in the Caribbean, it was surrounded by other varieties, so not sure if cross pollination helps, or the drier weather in this semi-arid region. I do know that Edward is grown commercially in places like Peru. Alphonso, seems to be a poor producer even where it is supposed to grow well ( India ) . I have yet to see a report by anyone that this variety has been productive anywhere. I think it is better adapted to much drier, arid regions. not only for production reasons, but also because quality seems to drop in more humid areas. I would recommend Kesar as an alternative for those that want that Indian spice flavor. do you have Kesar?

[@TrulyTropical]

I have recently grafted a little Kesar onto a small tree. I need to find another tree to dedicate to that variety. It's difficult to balance supply and demand. And there are so many great varieties that are suddenly available! Re the Mulgoba... One limb remained intact after Hurricane Wilma. When we finally got a bucket truck in to trim the ripped branches, there was so much damage that just stubs of branches remained. When the tree started fruiting again, productivity didn't seem any different than before the storm. Also, I've read and heard from multiple sources that Mulgoba has a good year about once every 15 years. One of my favorites, though... Thanks for your input and suggestions!

[@agriperma]

I think you will be happy with the Kesar, there is a natural genetic variant of it, called the "jumbo Kesar" it is the same variety, but a natural mutation, has this version, give larger fruit, taste, and all other traits are identical. I guess Mulgoba is just weird that way. instead of alternating years it alternates decades haha.

[@TrulyTropical]

Thanks... I'll put more time and energy into the Kesar grafting project!

[@toppmax]

In Jamaica there’s a mango called “sweetie mango “ do you grow that variety?

[@TrulyTropical]

Is that the same mango as 'Sweetie Come Brush Me'? I don't grow it, but I've heard of it.

[@toppmax]

it could be the same, I never heard of mango with that name while I grew up in Jamaica. Could be a strong possibility. do you have the sweetie come brush me tree for sale. they are yellow skinned with bright red areas on the skin, but they are amazing

[@TrulyTropical]

I don't, but I'll try to get it... could take awhile

[@moslemaahmmad9950]

Truly Tropical 😂😂😀😀

[@GardenHood]

​@TrulyTropical any update ?!

[@MsFishingdog]

great video. you ever see soursop fruit down there.

[@TrulyTropical]

I had a soursop for years... looked great but never fruited, so I took it out. My neighbors have a tree that fruits, so several months ago I planted another soursop tree in a more protected location. Soursop are very cold-sensitive trees. They drop all of their leaves...as I recall... around 50 degrees. This time I planted the soursop on the south side of the house.

[@nileshwr]

In india alphanso produce 40-90 kg fruits for 10 years old tree.

[@fbc123me5]

Did you forget about 'Cushman' (a.k.a. 'Big Yellow') ?

[@alanfalleur6550]

What about Pickering? I live in central Texas and we have very hot and humid weather in the spring and summer. Not has humid as Florida, I know, I lived in Gainesville once.

[@TrulyTropical]

Pickering is very productive from a young age.

[@dalearmstrong62]

must grow a dwarf in a large pot and protect from cold in tx

[@TSIRHCSEVAS]

Do you have Kensington pride?

[@TrulyTropical]

Yes, I have a young tree... half is Kensington Pride

[@berleezysbigassforehead5656]

Do you ship scion wood

[@TrulyTropical]

Sorry...no.

[@nileshwr]

Alphanso is grown for its quality not quantity. Its taste is the best.

[@CubanMofo]

Sugarloaf might be on this list

[@greatergood3706]

Heavy male flowers when young. In time productivity gets much better with more female flowers.

[@Atimatimukti]

Alphonso is a mountain mango. Does not produce good close to the ocean

[@weseehowcommiegoogleis3770]

The first 2 minutes sounded like a Dem covering up the bodily waste.

[@lazpinkgun7574]
