- How did Gary Zill develop so many new mango varieties??!
Gary Zill has been a major player in the Florida Mango Industry for years. In the late 1990s, he undertook a very ambitious project to develop new superior mango varieties. In this video, Gary tells all about his incredible project that has resulted in 20-30 wonderful new varieties.
Without this guy and his family, I’m afraid the mango game in Florida and probably the entire U.S. would be much less exciting. He’s honestly one of my heroes. ✌️
You prolly dont care at all but does someone know a trick to log back into an Instagram account??
I stupidly lost the account password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me!
@Jagger Tadeo Instablaster ;)
Not Just Florida and the US. But the whole world. Tommy Atkins, Kent, and Keitt which were ones of the first to dominate the Mango market in the whole world, have originated in Miami. South Florida played the biggest role in the world in developing and promoting the Mango fruit. The Zill family was behind most of that effort I think.
I don't know how much the broader market will change. I haven't seen them in any grocery stores. These mangos were selected for taste mostly I believe...and I'm glad. But, can they hold up to shipping as well as Tommy Atkins, etc.
Many years ago Gary, I called you because my keitt mango tree had black covering the leaves. You came to my home on motorcycle to see my tree. Then I followed you to your tree farm/ home and you gave me something harmless to spray on the tree. You wouldn't let me pay for it. So, I bought some honey. This was such a memorable day for me that I have never forgotten. You gave me a tour of your trees and told me a story about them and how they were named. You showed me how you graft the trees. It was an amazing day. Thank you for this wonderful day I still remember.
So glad this man went through all the work to get us these varieties
Sugarloaf is a very good piece of fruit thank you Mr Zill i look forward to my tree growing and giving me many many fruit !
long long awaiting for a video with Gary Zill. this is a very interesting and inspiring video,, every mango ive bought fromTruly Tropical, all seeds was replanted, hope i come up with a new variety for my kids, if not ill top work to know variety,,,, Get sions from Truly Tropical
,, cant wait for mango season at Truly tropical again.. love ya chris
Agreed
I need this pandemic to end so I can fly to Florida and stuff myself with mangoes!
Really a nice video and very interesting. Marly has done what I would love to do. Always wondered what all my seedlings would end up being like if I could let them grow. I'm sticking with the Mama tree and trying to graft all my seedlings. I've had SO MANY compliments, it's been overwhelming. Wish I could do it all over again, ( I wouldn't be a printer).
Keep up the good work!

Truly Tropical - I almost feel like a mango cult member! (The only cult I've ever thought worthwhile!) Me, in Ft. Myers, FL... keep up the good work. Shout out to the Zills!!!
yes agreed
Thanks!
Lovely video! Also very informative. Production of the new mango varieties took a lot of time and effort!!!
Yes much respect
Glad to have most of those new varieties !
Wow! That's great! I wish I could do that.
@@nicholas8479 thats ok just stop by lol
@orlandogardener9603 you growing Zill 40-26?
@@greatergood3706 yes
Love this video and information within it.
All I can say is "Wow". Here I am, babysitting my one and only NDM #4 :-)
I’d like to hear more on calcium and any other soil amendments!
Great video, Chris!!
Such a valuable video! Thanks for the creation and helpful edits.
very very helpful
I'm convinced Har and Zill are the same Man ♂️ 😆
great information, thanks for sharing!
The level of commitment this man has to mangos is impressive
This is great to be able to listen to Gary explain his project. Please do more. What is the disease resistance of Little Gem, Pina Colada & Ugly Betty?
They should be fairly resistant ...based on their parentage. But, since they are new varieties, we don't have much field experience yet.
Thats the Mango Man
Very danceable music.

Great video Chris. Thank you for sharing.
Do you happen to have a video on the best potting mix for growing mango in containers?
We want to keep our Pickering in a pot on the patio.
We haven't done on a video on that yet because we don't grow trees in pots long term
good ques
We just put out a video on potting soil...
In San Diego, mangos will typically fruit from seed within a few years, 5 years.
😱shocked
Is sugar loaf a good productive tree?
Any info on that tree is appreciated.
spreading growth habit mid size tree with good production
HARVEST MOON MANGO!!!
what kind of mango would you recommend to grow in small back yard in the really, really hot Arizona weather ???
I hope someone from Arizona sees your comment and recommends something... we have no experience with your conditions...
Amazing! What would you say is the best spacing to plant mango trees (around 10) in the ground in a somewhat limited space? Also, from your past experience would you say that Juliette and Super Julie have similar taste?
Please take a look at my video entitled : Mango man my friend Richard has a backyard loaded with tree's in pots, including a 9yr old VP
both have Julie flavors, but they don't taste the same. Juliette has a smoother flavor than Julie. SuperJulie has a more fruity flavor (as we remember). Super Julie seems more vigorous than Juliette.
You need aroma in mango you must come to India and taste Banganapalli mango which is mother of Indian mangoes and more ever you have to come to my 80years mango farm one mango can fill aroma your house if you put in on your dining table after rippening
Good morning Chris, i hope all is well how do you rate the sugar loaf thanks ?
We've only tried Sugar Loaf a couple of times, but it was tasty!
@@TrulyTropical I wonder if Sugar Loaf has the uneven ripening problem in South Florida. We have tons of calcium in our soil. In some places, there's no soil, just calcium carbonate (limestone, coral rock).
Which mango cultivars are lowest in allergens?
I have Anaphylaxis reactions to many things.
I can eat Keitt mango if very ripe with minimal problems,
Yet even standing near Tommy Atkins for 30 seconds causes me to break out in hives that last over 24 hours & requires Prednisone treatment.
I would like to grow a mango that I don't react to with allergic rashes.
Do you know the best cultivars for me to research?
Perhaps the southeast Asian varieties would be better for you. Some of our customers seem to react to only the Indian or the SE Asian varieties, but not both..
Taste test some Australian Kensington Pride Mango
Can we get a address, so I can visit his mango farm
2750 Seacrest Blvd, Delray Beach
what's the most Anthracnose resistant variety,tougher variety,especially in the semi-dwarf sizes ? thanks in advance.
