Grow Pura Vida! (Tropical Fruit Fanatics)
United States
Приєднався 15 вер 2015
Grow Pura Vida, previously Osho Bodhisattva Meditation Garden, is a tropical fruit and gardening/farming project that spans from South Florida (10b) to Southern Costa Rica (Perez Zeledon area). We promote organic and biodynamic farming and gardening practices, microbial soil and gut health (they are very similar in nature!), growing your own food, listening to the plants' needs instead of imposing our needs on them, biological pest and weed controls rather than chemical controls, and living in accordance with natural cycles. We do lots of rare fruit tastings and tastings of improved non-GMO varieties of fruits that have outstanding characteristics in comparison with common or commercially grown fruit. We promote and enjoy special, rare flavors and farms with fruit diversity (as opposed to monoculture) and farmers who strive for better taste, not bigger size and volumes. Mango fanatics, we do lots of mango & rare fruit tastings for the channel.

Una fruta de forma perfecta puede costar hasta 170 dólares. Esta fruta se utiliza mucho en ceremonias religiosas en China, India, Vietnam y otros países asiáticos. La piel de la fruta es muy fragante y se utiliza en repostería y productos perfumados. Según registros antiguos, Gautama el Buda prefería la fruta con los dedos cerrados que parecen una mano durante la meditación. MUSIC: UA-cam Audio...

This is the recent tasting of the mangoes mentioned above, in my work state of Missouri, and a little rant about unkind commenters. Just remember that you are a guest here, try to behave yourself no one but yourself has to deal with you if you want to harm others, with your words or actions, so you will be sent into a ban.

Egyptian Mango is the best in the world
Yes, i hear that a lot. Are you growing mangos in Egypt?
I tried grafting in the month of January to March when the buds started swelling but my grafts did not take off. Though the weather in the day time is worm but in the night is quite cold which I suppose is the main cause of failure. Could you let me know the best time of grafting.
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 couldn't find him on the forum, can I have a link?

I'm from the land of a tropical Cambodia, and we Khmers are also accustomed to eating guava at its optimum crispy green but sweet. At Asian specialty markets across the USA, you'd most likely find only the crispy green ones. Unlike folks raised in Western culture, they like their fruits to be mushy soft.
Nice video! Could you do any videos of durians in Spanish? And maybe marang, cempedak, pulasan, tampoi and dabai?
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!
Great Video!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks a lot for the feedback.
Thank you for the update! In time, will you do one for the tung oil planters as well?😊
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
Was this used with tung oil? Would linseed oil protect the “burnt look” of the wood I wonder 🤔 Thanks for the update
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!
Videos always make grafting seem very easy, until you try it and discover you have butter fingers.🤣 I think I'll try this soon. Thank you for the video. Is there a reason why this grafting method is more rare?
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.
From what country are you bro?
Nepal
Thanks for sharing!
Ewesi had down side its too sweet also it need to full rip on the tree to really hit the right taste toon .. And if u think ewsi is sweet wait until u try fas the fas is ewisi mango which after pollination hit by cold wind so the it becomes seedless and all the sugar didn't find thr seed store at the fruit itself its like 2 times sweet than normal ewisi ...i advice u to plant ewisi seed it will take time 3-6 years but it will produce similar fruit "the tree grow so large" Inshallah u are coming next year .. to Egypt to try all different Egyptian Mango and guess what there is around 300 types of mango around 30 are unique to Egypt 😂 By the way ewisi isn't my favorite mango But sidkah if u can find sidkah go for it
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 😅
Iam growing this in Orlando Florida and doing very well
yes, the M-4 is a 2 years old tree but its a grafted tree, not from seed. Am I wrong?
Musang King is one of the best Malaysian durian varieties. Others are Black Thorn, Tupai King,, Musang Queen, IOI, Red Prawns, Damak King, and all "D" varieties of Malaysian durians..👍🇲🇾
Thanks a lot for the info! 🙏
Hi how can i buy trees from Leaph
Makes sense, dude carrying mask is surprised you can grow food without pesticides
The dude carrying mask grows everything without pesticides for many years. Your logic is fake, dude.
It would be great if you did more videos in Spanish for fruits like durian, chempadak and marang. It would help Spanish speakers in Latin America know about exotic fruit.
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 UA-cam too.
Just released a video in Spanish on Mammea americana, please watch: ua-cam.com/video/0sV9R7dLbP8/v-deo.htmlsi=E8SNLG3EwmXNXNi6
Delicioso
Thank you brother. I love watching your videos ❤. I didn’t know how to distinguish by the hairy branches. I want to taste it so much!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
My pleasure! Glad it was helpful 👍
👍👍Very nice 👌 🙏🙏( From Mysore India )
Just when I thought I had closed my mango wishlist, I went and watched your video! Back to delicious indecision again! They all sound fantastic.
Haha that’s been like that for me for many years:) never enough of mango varieties!
Bhai are you an indian? Jay shree ram 🇮🇳
Not Indian; Nepali.
I hope you will make more videos soon, and keep us updated on the progress of your farm in CR.
I really enjoy your descriptions of the different tastes, you have a very educated palate.
Thank you! I’m happy you enjoy them 🙏
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on these mangos! I am inspired to taste the varieties you have mentioned! 🎉😊
I’m really glad to hear that! 🤙🤙🤙
Please follow up with Gwen and Reed.
Unfortunately, they didn’t ripen until my departure :(
Great video. thank you. Good to see you.
Thanks for watching! 🙏
zebeda mango is strictly for juicing in Egypt because it is fibrous and cheap, we also have a mango from india called Hindi, it is better than teymour and iwais, our best mango is the alfonse, we got a huge mango with green skin called bull's balls, it has tons of fibrousless juicy tangy meat and small seed, the only mango in the US that might measure up to egyptian mangoes is the hawaiian alfonse
Thank you for the information! 🙏
Thanks a lot !! 👍👍
You are welcome!🙏
M4 or ice cream? I’m grafting
M4 has not been so productive but taste is very good. If you like the taste of Ice Cream go for it.
Hi I am in Atlanta.. do you recommend any website which sells some of the mangoes you taste? Would be interested.. btw I am from India
Yes i tell in each video where the mangoes are from, Tropical Acres sell boxes online but there is a narrow window for each variety so you have to check in often.
@@growpuravida Thanks!
What was the last Mango?
Are you sell seeds?
Not at the moment
Yeah they are very popular in Egypt
I tried to graft a scion of white piri to one of my trees. It didn't catch sadly so I'm going to try again maybe next season. I'm going to let my trees do their thing for another season. Maha Chanok isn't that good of mango to me either. East Indian is very sweet mango with a lot of notes going on. I don't like the fibers within it though and I can't enjoy more than one becuase it gives me headaches lol
Agree East Indian is very rich but fibers come in between. Giselle and Harumanis/Aromanis were pretty close to that richness with no fibers. Do try to find them and taste once next season.
your mangoes don't look healthy at all.
The mangos that look clean on the outside do not necessarily mean they are healthy. Mangos can have all sorts of extremely harmful chemicals sprayed onto them to make them look spotlessly clean and those will be the most unhealthy ones, very harmful to your body. But more majority of the humans looks are important in everything we choose in life, houses, cars, partners and i can go on. These mangos travelled from Florida to Missouri in a suitcase and stayed in an environment for ripening that i would not put them in FL. They developed spots because of that, the inside was tasty and good, and certainly very healthy. Health has nothing to do with looks, either in mangos or in humans. Amen!!
@@growpuravidadisagree.. those spots caused by certain diseases or bacteria. if i were to buy i'd choose the better looking ones
You can open your own channel and taste whatever your soul desires. I don't mind spots and they do not affect the taste.
@@barrioboi14344 it's just surface issues dude , try growing organic produce ... Surface level blemishes are all too common
Any fruit will taste better when they ripen on the tree!
Do you have a Mallika mango tree?
@@growpuravida I have been trying to cultivate Perry's CHAMPA MANGO in Tampa Florida. 2 + pounds,all meat, no fiber and delicious.
Ok good for you, hope it grows in Tampa. But you have no experience with mangoes that have to be ripened off the tree, and your original statement is wrong. There are mangoes that taste very bad when ripened on the tree, and exceptional when ripened properly, thus this video. Watch it carefully if you want to learn something new.
I can't imagine what would possess someone to be mean and nasty to a kind person like you making fruit-tasting videos. I've always loved your passion and enthusiasm, and I appreciate your sophisticated palate when it comes to mangos. I feel like I've learned a lot about the different varieties. There must be a lot of raccoons coming over from the park! (Do you have any mangos left on your trees?)
Thank you for your kind words John . It has been a very busy year with lots of traveling by air. I missed the west palm beach mango festival and many other tasting-gatherings due to my schedule. What new varieties of mangos have been your surprise favorites this year? There are a few Neelams still hanging or perhaps raccoons might have already gobbled them since i left. Off year for Honey kiss and M4 here, just had one M4 that i gave to Steve at Hidden Acres mango farm for tasting.
The best is Ewies
❤
Thnx for this informative video. Peace N Love
Thanks a lot for watching!
Well, it would be amazing to be your neighbor! It is very rewarding sharing mangoes. I sent 11 sweet tart mangoes from my tree to my mom (they are very good shipping mangoes!) and she was so very happy. I could freeze the extras and enjoy them frozen, but blessing someone who can’t grow them themselves is a wonderful thing.
🙏🙏🙏
I have ten Sonpari mango trees. It is ripe naturally, very nice aroma and taste. Its keepig quality is also good and size of fruit also good. No fiber mango. I am planting further more Sonpari mango trees.I am from Village Awakhal, Tehsil, Shinor, Dist: Vadodara, Gujarat state, India.
Thanks for sharing!
Hola como esta ,excelente videos,usted sabe todo los durian finca en costa rica
Hola, ¡gracias por sus comentarios! Solo conozco 3 productores locales de durian en mi área. Vi a un muchacho vendiendo durians en nuestra feria local en Pérez este jueves, tiene otras frutas raras, siempre ahí. Creo que necesitamos un recurso en Costa Rica para agregar a todos los productores y, especialmente, a los productores orgánicos para que las personas puedan disfrutar de frutas de mejor calidad.
Dasheri also very flat flavour but its highly sweet here in india
Good to know! Thanks for the info
Carabago is just an ordinary mango , nothing special
some people dont really like complex taste, with a hint of spices or some kind of medicine. have u tasted the super galila variety? try come to the philippines and experience the mango festival in guimaras island. still carabao is one of the best tasting mangoes in the world as it smells and tastes like authentic mango.
In some online videos, it’s called one of top ten in the world 😝😭
@@growpuravida 😂😂😂
@@barrioboi14344 dude you completely misunderstand the term "complexity"! It's not the medicinal taste - who would like that? - and not even the spice. It's the same as complexity in wines; actually, good wine and good mango are very similar structurally. To understand what "complexity" really means, google this phrase: what-does-complexity-mean-in-wine. By the way, "authentic" mango is spicy - Indian varieties are the closest ones to it and are direct descendants, having lots of turpenes that make a mango spicy. South East Asian mangos have nothing to do with authenticity, they are just plain sweet and uninteresting. Try to come to Florida and taste 300 varieties, developed specifically for the complexity and uniqueness of their flavors. And try to watch old videos where he very carefully explains different flavors of many mangos sought after in the US and other countries, before pooping in comments.
@@couchalmightyincorporating sea mango genetics is very important for adding different flavors to new selections as well as better resistance to humidity related diseases like anthracnose
I very much like and appreciate your videos, never mind that one negative person out there, don't let it bother you. Pura Vida.
Thanks so much for the encouragement! 🙏
@@growpuravida I really hope you keep making videos, they are very informative (you have very educated taste buds) and I can't imagine why you would restrict yourself to only reviewing your own mangos.
I live in Costa Rica and this year Iwas lucky enough to get a Giselle mango tree from Zill plantas, after watching a video on it. I wish we had more available varieties here IN CR.
Hopefully soon! 🤞
