Mango Fest 2025!!! Not this mango lover. I have every variety that I like producing in my back yard. Never again will I stand in line or pay premium price to sample a mango. Denmark offer to buy southern california, not south florida. Have never been to Southern California but To much traffic, to crowded for me in South Florida.
Having a Strong Mango Rootstock does Help with Growth in SoCal For the benefit of our California growers I thought I would post a few phots of some mango trees showing various rootstock. The goal is to select robust rootstock to increase tree vigor. A healthy root system is a healthy tree. Our mango loving frends in Florida have no such problems but here in SoCal it is a issue because of our ...
"UF/IFAS Palm Beach County Extension is having its first ever Mango Fest on at Mounts Botanical Garden in West Palm Beach, Florida!!! This amazing event will include:
If you want a large mango tree in SoCal, I would recommend planting a Manilla/Champaign type mango seed in the ground and grafting it with a named cultivar of your choice once the seedling reaches about 1 year of age and is about pencil thick. If you graft, make sure to use scions that are swelled up really nicely and ready to push new growth.
What do we do now if our Mango trees were frost damaged? How large were they? were they potted or in the ground? If they are in the ground and not tiny plants you should be fine. I had a tree that I thought was completely dead from a freeze event years ago. I stumped it with the intention of digging it out of the ground later. I was pleasantly surprised to see that if pushed new growth once ...
What do we do now if our Mango trees were frost damaged?
Growing Mango trees in Southern California I used Haden as rootstock and it grew fine for me but every location can give different results because your microclimate and soil can be different. Haden, Tommy Atkins, and especially Kent did well for me as rootstocks. I would recommend planting as many different types of mango seeds as you can get your hand on and you’ll eventually find one that ...
California farm with productive mango grove, USDA zone 10A Quote from: Coconut Cream on , 02:57:46 PM That looks like a site with some extreme growing conditions, almost like a true desert. I hope they can keep those trees alive. Not even almost like, quite literally part of the Sonoran desert. They are in a special pocket where their mango trees receive a ton of heat in the ...
Zills Mango Store - Boynton Beach Florida (Pickering Origin Info) Spent some time at Walter Zills home and mango store today, it turned out to be a great Sunday! On sale were a large variety of Mango and Carambola at prices ranging from $1-$2 a pound. He has the original Pickering Mango tree growing in his yard and is happy to show it off! I ran into Har, he was bringing the remaining mangoes ...
Establishing new Pickering mango in SC I agree with the recommendation to keep it in a container. As a zone pusher in central FL, I've had at least one young mango killed outright despite being covered with a heat source during a freeze. It is very unlikely you would be able to get one to fruiting size there in the ground. But as a potted specimen, there's an excellent chance you could fruit ...
Best tasting and most reliable Mangos for Southern California I want to start this thread to begin tracking the performance of the top tier Mangos varieties when grown in SoCal. Any information from growers in other Mango growing regions would be greatly appreciated. Varieties that are highly disease resistant in one mango growing region may be a good indicator that they could potentially be a ...
Hardy Replacements for Frozen Mango Trees Central Florida I thought it might be good to start a thread about hardy replacements for people who have lost Mango trees in the freeze. I realize that nothing can truly take the place of a good Mango, but having some cold-hardy trees that you don't have to worry about sure makes it easier to deal with a freeze. Here is my list, I hope others chime in:
