Yes, i hear that a lot. Are you growing mangos in Egypt?

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 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!

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks a lot for the feedback.

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

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!

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.

Nepal

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 😅

Thanks a lot for the info! 🙏

The dude carrying mask grows everything without pesticides for many years. Your logic is fake, dude.

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

My pleasure! Glad it was helpful 👍

Haha that’s been like that for me for many years:) never enough of mango varieties!

Not Indian; Nepali.

Thank you! I’m happy you enjoy them 🙏

I’m really glad to hear that! 🤙🤙🤙

Unfortunately, they didn’t ripen until my departure :(

Thanks for watching! 🙏

Thank you for the information! 🙏

You are welcome!🙏

M4 has not been so productive but taste is very good. If you like the taste of Ice Cream go for it.

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!

Not at the moment

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.

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

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.

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.

Thanks a lot for watching!

🙏🙏🙏

Thanks for sharing!

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.

Good to know! Thanks for the info

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

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.

Hopefully soon! 🤞
