See if you can ask Alex about supplementing mango trees with potassium and limiting nitrogen. I've seen videos with Richard Campbell talking about how high nitrogen limits fruit production, and that Fairchild Gardens mangoes are very colorful because they hold back nitrogen and keep potassium high. I think Campbell even said he prefers the leaves on his plants to get a little yellow from the low nitrogen and it improves the fruit quality.
Hi Paul so of the discussed varieties. My experiences sw florida Gold nugget- very slow growing very small Creme brulee- has been more of a moderate grower for me small tree did flower this year- removed fruit- it does get a fair amount of anthracnose Fruit punch- small tree very slow growing so far Venus- tree large enough to fruit but didnt flower- no disease issues so far Cac- small tree no fruits or flowers I have not see MBBS in this area yet. Have a great one
I wish I didn’t live so far (Tampa) Maybe I can visit one day. I would love to see your Ah ping tree as well as your ambika and crimson delight. Theres a whole list of your mangoes online I would like to visit and aspire to grow and possibly breed a successful hybrid. Thank you for all of this information and entertainment. *correction Alex’s trees at tropical acres. Didn’t realize it was your channel 😅” TA
I’m in North Central Florida (Gainesville) zone 9a/b. I believe I can grow certain mango varieties just fine. I have no problems with growing bananas, lychees, and sapodillas in ground with limited cold protection. Some people in South Florida think that it gets too cold up here. A lot of times when we have just the few cold fronts that move in each Winter for a couple of days, even South Florida will get the cold; although for shorter amounts of time. You’d be surprised how similar it is up here compared to down South closer to Miami.
Yes that’s true. Unfortunately a lot of people will not provide that limited cold protection and then their trees get damaged or killed. we always warn them that they’ll need to protect them from occasional freezes if they plan to try to grow them at that latitude, for full disclosure.
We've been getting mangoes here from Mexico , I got a couple from walmart last week, one was terrible and the other one was sort of a lemony flavor which I don't really like but besides that it was good. I got 3 yesterday from a different store but they are not soft yet so I'll have to wait for them to ripen so I can taste them. Thanks Paul
Hi Paul , could you speak with Alex about which mangoes do best on West Coast VS East coast of Florida? That would help a lot of people not waste so much precious time and money. :)
Location,location, location unfortunately I’m not at a good location this season 🤣 I might have to go to the father’s Day event to enjoy some delicious mangoes.
I agree. I am looking forward to the Father’s Day Event Paul and Alex have going on. Paul. I am hoping to see Vince, Bobby, and Julian in this Father’s Day event. In other word need to have the Fruitful Five present to celebrate with the Mango Loving community.
The process is the same but instead of reducing the tree to a stump, instead you’ll have to trim back some of the branches on the side of the tree that you put the grafts to give the grafts a better chance of thriving.
Hello Paul, l enjoy your videos, very informative. I am an amateur who did grafting and budding for my own use. I would like to know where l can get the buddy tape or the laboratory parafilm to buy. I have looked on AMAZON but the description is not clear, so l am not sure which is the correct one
@@tishemadunkley3981 going to be difficult from what others that far west are reporting. Just wont hold the fruit to maturity and low production on top of that. Maybe others can chime in but its so important for any of us that far west to do some serious due diligence so we end up with fruit. Its like another planet out west compared to east of 95 for mango production.
CAC definitely was not introduced by Excalibur and promoted by Richard Campbell. I found it on the USDA registry introduced around 1999 or 2000 if I recall, which would be years before it was promoted. Richard did say it came from Hawaii and thought it was an Edward seedling but who knows how accurate that is. I recall this since I purchased CAC at the mango festival auction 2 years in a row, years before it was propagated. Richard was kind enough to gift us a grafted tree, which was an surplus tree after grafting one for Gary.
There may have been two distinct introductions of what we call “Cac” based on a conversation with the late Richard Wilson a long time ago. It’s not really clear or well-recorded unfortunately. A pedigree analysis of Cac would be interesting to see.
When I bought my house, the previous owner, who was Jamaican, had many trees in the backyard. They have two big mango trees. One is an east Indian, and the other they called blacki. Do you know what the actual name of the “blacki” mango is? It is not black, it’s actually very green with yellow on the skin. I’ll have to do a video on it during mango season.
@@SeraphimCherubim thanks for the reply! that’s the East Indian your talking about I I beleive, I know what that one is. But the blacki has no fiber, and doesn’t have the resin flavor like East Indian does.
Blackie is sometimes just called “Black mango”, or “Green Gage” mango depending on the part of Jamaica you’re in. We only recently started growing it last year.
Whenever I see this Farm, Feels like so happy.😀
Also he explains very well 👍
Has amazing
I'd love to see a session where he recommends southern california compatible seedlings, such as the CAC and a few others he has mentioned in the past.

He already has. No nitrogen.
See the live interviews of Alex on this channel. He's covered this topic and other great information
Sul-Po-Mag is a very helpful keeping mango🥭 production elevated
@@greatergood3706 I use langbeinite which may be similar. Some other potassium sources are not great for salt sensitive trees like mango
It's common knowledge
My Madame Francis has so many fruits+!+ Super excited. It's a fibrous but very sweet fruit!!
Hi Paul so of the discussed varieties. My experiences sw florida
Gold nugget- very slow growing very small
Creme brulee- has been more of a moderate grower for me small tree did flower this year- removed fruit- it does get a fair amount of anthracnose
Fruit punch- small tree very slow growing so far
Venus- tree large enough to fruit but didnt flower- no disease issues so far
Cac- small tree no fruits or flowers
I have not see MBBS in this area yet. Have a great one
"Panchadara kalasa" means " sugar bowl" .. that variety is almost extinct in india now.
Thanks. Yes, unfortunately a number of excellent older cultivars are at risk in India.
Why is that alex ?@@TropicalAcresFarms
@TropicalAcresFarms and the graft I made from a Panchadara cutting you shipped has taken!
We hope it survives the winter with protection.

Most of these mangoes are immature and forced ripe.
My Venus has no BBS issues in Miami. Unfortunately not a single bloom this year but normally crazy productive.
For me fruit punch is top 3. It should have been named fruit cocktail. It can have a very complex flavor profile, including “Marciano Cherry.”
This is such a great vid!

Paul next video should be about grafting different varieties on mature trees without topworking.. tips tricks methods for best results.

hi
have you created a video naming the favorites of the mango varieties planted in your yard? thanks
Hi do you any information on the zill 40-26 for a small yard
For a small yard in Florida 40-26 is very intriguing. California or Arizona it grows too slowly for.
@@TropicalAcresFarms am going to order one for you today, i live in Florida and already ordered a orange sherbet 👍
Are you close to the coast? Doesnt seem to hold fruit out west and production is slim. Will no doubt grow slow. This was deleted from my yard.

I wish you could do one in homestead
I will be back there soon
Hey Paul I’m a big fan of both you and Alex
Can I ask how pineapple pleasure has done for you so far in your yard and how it does for Alex ?

CAC means variety
How long do you let the seedlings grow before you start grafting them
Is it Xoài cát (cát mango)?
Xoai is a prefix that appears before several mangos with Cat in the name in Vietnam. So there is Xoai Cat Hoa Loc, Xoai Cat Chu, etc.
I am moving to gainsville florida ? What is the best place for me to buy fruit trees at whole sale price thanks
😂
I'm not sure who is up that far but in Orlando there are some good places. Nicks is a good one I did a video with
HOW OFTEN WE WATER NEWLY PLANTED MANGO PLANTS IN PHOENIX ARIZONA
Richard Campbell told me that Cac was named after the daughter of a Hawaiian horticulturist.
Her nickname was Khaki.
When I bought my house, the previous owner, who was Jamaican, had many trees in the backyard. They have two big mango trees. One is an east Indian, and the other they called blacki. Do you know what the actual name of the “blacki” mango is? It is not black, it’s actually very green with yellow on the skin. I’ll have to do a video on it during mango season.
It's a mango that grows wild in Jamaica. They probably planted a seed. It's mainly a juice mango.
@@SeraphimCherubim thanks for the reply! that’s the East Indian your talking about I I beleive, I know what that one is. But the blacki has no fiber, and doesn’t have the resin flavor like East Indian does.
Or is the blacki used for juicing as well? They told me the East Indian was for juicing
Blackie is sometimes just called “Black mango”, or “Green Gage” mango depending on the part of Jamaica you’re in. We only recently started growing it last year.
@@TropicalAcresFarms would be cool to see yours in a video some day maybe
Alex says cola syrup but it tastes like parsnips to me 🤷🏼♂️
I tasted Gold Nugget last summer (but not from Alex). I wasn't impressed with the flavor at all.
All the Demonic audio is very distracting. Sounds like you tuned into wSatan FM.
😂
CAC, DUPOIS, Zinc, Sweet tart, p-22
Some of my favs
What is the taste profile of Giselle?
Love your knowledge Alex...love to hear I talk mango 🥭
Giselle is an Indian/West Indian-group flavor.
Great video ..I appreciate it Paul
