Great video. Love the format. Would absolutely love to see a 2023 update to this to see how the trees have come along as well as any changes made to the selections. Thxs again!
CAC is really good. Valencia Pride was my first planted mango as well. Love the citrusy ones as well. Awesome that all of this is thriving all the way up in Sarasota. Met you guys at Matt’s tasting last year. Keep up the good work!
I'm in Lakeland when it Frost's I layer up and hose everything down before sun hits them never had damage it hit 29 with no frost panical damage on mangos leaf damage on figs and atamoyas jac looks great dream( I got from you) looks great (cheramoya) you took frost damage
I planted me a mango tree but I forgot to cover it up and it Die on me so now I'll going to plant another one in the pot but I want forget to cover it next time. I should have Read up on have to care for it.But now I know.
We just lost a big live oak in our gardening lot. We have decided that a mango tree would go nicely in that area later this year. Your video was extremely helpful. Do you sell?
I live in OC California. many years ago I participated in "test" where I grew three varieties from Florida to see how they will do in my area. One of the trees survived and I have recorded its name ' Princes Pride" but I can not find any record of this verity. Do you have any knowledge what it may be ? The tree is small about 6Ft tall and maybe 4-5 Ft wide. Branches are very brittle. There are very few mangoes that actually mature to be eaten. The fruit has a very distinct "elephant trunk" structure on its surface. and it is a large fruit . Also do you sell grafted plants to California ?
zvi peshkess I’ve never heard of it. You can email us a picture of the fruit, post pictures on tropicalfruitforum.com or maybe check with Alex at Tropical Acres Farm - he’s great at mango ID.
Hi Craig, I am growing a mango I have a question about, I brought a mango fruit from the store & planted the seed in summer 2017, now it's spring here & has started flowering for the first time, I looked at all the google images & diagrams of a mango flower/ovary & noticed all had a single ovary/to-be-fruit in the flower, I wanted to know if it's common for a mango flower to have 2 ovaries in the 1 flower like my seedling grown mango does?
Great video! Out of the 7 mangoes I have in the backyard, my wife’s favorite is the Mahachanok. It’s a beautiful mango, but it tastes ok to me, and has a really strong aroma that she says she can’t smell. My favorite is the Carrie. Lemon Zest is finally fruiting for me, so hopefully I’ll taste it before the raccoons and opossums. My pineapple Pleasure finally fruited a lot this year, but unfortunately every single fruit got some black fungus and are shriveling up. :( I might top work it next year. Will you be doing any banana grove videos? :)
So, imaginary scenario, you live in South Georgia and you want to try to grow Mangoes in your microclimate. You have a Julie in the greenhouse that is a monster but you believe the humidity in the greenhouse causes the fruit and blooms to drop, so you decide that growing Mangoes outdoors in the microclimate of your South West Facing concrete wall, lined with giant Loquat and Jelly Palm trees, is the thing to do. What Mangoes would you choose ? On the edge of zone 8b/9a but has frost protection.
The Domestead Julie is supposed to need great airflow from what I have heard. Pickering doesn’t seem to have disease issues for us, and being a smaller tree, you could possibly build a cold protection frame for it or put it in the greenhouse.
Pete It has flowered but hasn’t set fruit yet. I haven’t tried the fruit. We grow it because the trees sell well and it’s nice to have a source of budwood.
Thanks! Pete - It has flowered but hasn’t set fruit yet. I haven’t tried the fruit. We grow it because the trees sell well and it’s nice to have a source of budwood.
@@SulcataGrove Yes I read the fruit is excellent. Recently got one for myself but can't find anyone firsthand to confirm how the fruit tastes, tree height and disease resistance. They say she's the Queen of Mangos. Look forward to your review 😉 Take care.
My coconut cream mango tree is still in its container. It is about 5 ft tall, not including the container. Do you recommend putting it in the ground in zone 9b? Right now it is one straight tree with no side branches.
meethu101 Our mango trees are on slow drippers and then we water with a hose when flowering/setting fruit. We flame and hand pull weeds and mulch heavy. For bad weed patches, I have a piece of greenhouse plastic I smother them with for a month and then move to another area.
Geoff Argue We filmed a whole yard tour that we need to edit and post. Hopefully this week. We may do just mangos a bit later when they are more ripe 😊
I really want plant a mango tree in Arizona, but not sure can withstand over 30 days of 110 degrees temperature in the summer . is there any heat resistant variety ??? please advise.
Overall top 5 - Coconut Cream, Sugarloaf, Lemon Meringue, Glenn, and maybe CeciLove or Orange Sherbet. Valencia Pride and Pickering are good with zero disease issues for us.
Am in chicago and all we get are low quality commerical mexican mangos. I am sure there are many good mango types in mexico but the ones we get are not best at all..honey something and cant remember the other one both tastless with no smell. Any clue where i can order decent mangos from in the US?
The best mangos don’t ship well, and aren’t available commercially. Tropical Acres Farm ships good Mangos in the US along with Mango Men of Homestead. It’s a great way to try some of these newer Florida mangos. We haven’t mastered the art of picking at the right time to ship them safely. We pick all of ours ripe, so I think they would be too ripe if we shipped them.
@@SulcataGrove hopefully i can see it next year, i been wanting to get one but cant find much information on it, growth habit productivity etc. Wanted to see if you had one in the ground
Greetings! I thoroughly enjoyed your videos, especially on mangos. I have a small yard in Los Angeles area, and only have room for a semi-dwarf or dwarf mango tree. I am looking for a sweet mango variety that is fiberless, has good flavor, disease resistance, and smaller footprint. If it has a nice mango aroma, that would be a bonus! Originally I am thinking of getting a Nam Doc Mai #4 grafted (semi-dwarf), but a friend suggests either a Pina Colada, CAC or Coconut Cream. What would you recommend? Thanks in advance!
Pickering would be a nice choice (if they do well in CA). Cac and Coconut cream aren’t dwarf/semi dwarf. Glenn may be a good option as well if you are willing to prune it each year.
Tipson Ts when our mangos are little, I use an organic fertilizer with npk and minors. Years 2 on, I use 0-0-50, calcium (dolamite), and a little boron and epsom salt.
Great video. Curious -- unless I missed you stating this as one of your varieties -- have you planted a variety called "Kent"? I get these at the stores up here in the midwest in July and they taste incredible -- I prefer them to Tommy. The fruit is usually quite large in size. I'll eventually be moving down to the Sarasota area and plan to plant a couple mango trees.
William Ramos-Munoz That’s tough. Up there would be Coconut Cream, Lemon Meringue, Orange Sherbet, M4, and then maybe Glenn, Pickering, or Valencia Pride just for production and nice flavor.
Great video. Love the format. Would absolutely love to see a 2023 update to this to see how the trees have come along as well as any changes made to the selections.
Thxs again!
Thank you. You can find all of our yard tour videos on this playlist ua-cam.com/play/PLMNVFOe-rmlFpU0ordLq1f5VVY3OKni24.html

Yes yes yes
Thanks! We had a lot of fruit drop after filming this, but will hopefully have plenty on mangos 🥭
Enjoyed watching this video. You have some beautiful mango trees.
Thank you! Craig did a good job of spacing the trees which helps a lot with reducing fungal issues. He also enjoys pruning them 😊
I saw this video pop up and got soooooo excited !!!!!!!
CAC is really good. Valencia Pride was my first planted mango as well. Love the citrusy ones as well. Awesome that all of this is thriving all the way up in Sarasota. Met you guys at Matt’s tasting last year. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the update. Love seeing them grow year by year
LSanti Thank you! We do too. Planning to do some videos of the lychees, jackfruits, and bananas soon.

The interesting point is We have a 5000+ variety small to big size 50gm to 1.5kg sour to sweetest.
I'm in Lakeland when it Frost's I layer up and hose everything down before sun hits them never had damage it hit 29 with no frost panical damage on mangos leaf damage on figs and atamoyas jac looks great dream( I got from you) looks great (cheramoya) you took frost damage
Hopefully we won’t have a repeat, but I will give that a try if it happens again. Thanks!

New subscriber n love the video very educational got me want to grow 3 to 4 more variety in my back ya6
Deyonta' Amarachi Fantastic! Thank you for watching and subscribing
Hello just looking at your videos I love the mango trees ,Do you give them t people of the grocery store or friends .
We sell extra fruit at our farm during the summer and also ship a limited number of medium flat rate boxes within most of the continental US.
I planted me a mango tree but I forgot to cover it up and it Die on me so now I'll going to plant another one in the pot but I want forget to cover it next time. I should have Read up on have to care for it.But now I know.
My Sweet Tart didn’t fruit this year as well , last year got lots of fruit
Etheric Zone 11:11 I think they outdid themselves last year
Sulcata Grove very true I did set a plentiful crop last year , just checked on the tree and it is budding .
After searching comments , I still would like to learn more about what "oil" you're using to treat "sooty mold"?
Why you don’t have any Alphonso mango tree? I understand that is a very good one even though decease issues.
Paul Parecadan Because of the disease and poor production in our area.
We just lost a big live oak in our gardening lot. We have decided that a mango tree would go nicely in that area later this year. Your video was extremely helpful. Do you sell?
Southern Latitudes We do sell mango trees locally.
Watched again 🍋🥝🍅🍑🍓🍎🍐🍏🍊🍈

That fruited quick.........thats only 2 years from seed.......sounds like you're on a winner there.

stormin That’s too bad with the pineapple pleasures - how disappointing! The bananas look really bad right now - need to clean them up :)
stormin How long did it take the PP to fruit? From 3 gal size? I recently planted one so I’m curious.

Get Alphonso or Badami variety and thats it no other Mango tree needed.
Have you got any mangos from your one branch of Kesar or tried the fruit yet? Beautiful grove and video
Pete It has flowered but hasn’t set fruit yet. I haven’t tried the fruit. We grow it because the trees sell well and it’s nice to have a source of budwood.

Dot is one of the best mangoes of all. Not sure what the issue is.
Dot is by far one of the best mangoes. Why did you remove your Mallika?
PacoQuerak the mallkia didn’t do well for us. We know two other growers near us who also removed theirs due to fruit being subpar.
My pickering mango tree is about 20-25 feet tall and it is about 7yrs old.
Dion Bush Never heard of that with a grafted Pickering. Most I’ve seen that are even 10 years old grow wide, but not a lot of vertical growth.
😳😳😳😳😳😳😳what
My Pickering is about 7 years old and stays quite small. Mine tends to grow wide but not up
😱😱
Maybe it was mislabeled?
Nice! How do you irrigate and keep weeds/grass down? Hi from Oz
meethu101 Our mango trees are on slow drippers and then we water with a hose when flowering/setting fruit. We flame and hand pull weeds and mulch heavy. For bad weed patches, I have a piece of greenhouse plastic I smother them with for a month and then move to another area.
Hello how are you doing hope all is well I got a couple of mango trees I want to take a look at SOQ tell me What wrong with them
I cannot send you a picture I’m looking for your email so I can send it to you that way
Great video guys! I thought you guys had a Rosigold Mango Tree?
alex03srt4 Thank you! No, we’ve never had Rosigold. I’m hoping to put in a Dwarf Hawaiian as our early mango 🥭
I've tasted that one in South Padre Island,Tx! It's an excellent mango.
alex03srt4 We has it for the first time last year and really liked it - very different from our other mangos too!
What do you think of 'Honey" Mangoes? Manila? Baileys Marvel?
Where's YOUR mangoes in Florida I'm in st Pete
Mango tour for 2020?
Geoff Argue We filmed a whole yard tour that we need to edit and post. Hopefully this week. We may do just mangos a bit later when they are more ripe 😊
Where can you buy seeds of those mango varieties?
How much the house and gardenfarm they sale for? Please let me
I really want plant a mango tree in Arizona, but not sure can withstand over 30 days of 110 degrees temperature in the summer .
is there any heat resistant variety ??? please advise.
Shaman King there are people growing mangos in AZ. Some are on Instagram and some post on Mango growers of America on Facebook.
My state is very cool and snow alots can't growanything
So what would be your top 5 varieties based on flavor and disease resistance?
Overall top 5 - Coconut Cream, Sugarloaf, Lemon Meringue, Glenn, and maybe CeciLove or Orange Sherbet. Valencia Pride and Pickering are good with zero disease issues for us.
Am in chicago and all we get are low quality commerical mexican mangos. I am sure there are many good mango types in mexico but the ones we get are not best at all..honey something and cant remember the other one both tastless with no smell. Any clue where i can order decent mangos from in the US?

Drop some ratings among 60 varieties.
Hi ! Is there any temperature minimum during mango flowering session ?
Ehsan Zaby I’m not sure. We don’t normally get freezing temperatures where we grow. I don’t think we have ever lost flowers due to cold temps
How much property do you guys grow on? I’m looking at property in S Florida Naples area
We have 2 acres, but we could fit everything onto 1 acre if we didn’t have the tortoises, nursery, and chickens
Sulcata Grove very nice hoping to get down to the Naples area in the next 2 years
When you put sulfur on a mango where can I buy it?
We buy wettable sulfur powder and spray it when the trees are flowering.
Hi do we find cheap land to buy in Florida ?
I haven’t seen cheap land in good growing areas for years now.
No Alphonso?
No, I’ve heard they don’t do well here.
Last year you said you would plant a venus, didnt get one?
Edison M I think we might have one in our nursery. I’ll see if Craig still plans to put one in the ground.
@@SulcataGrove hopefully i can see it next year, i been wanting to get one but cant find much information on it, growth habit productivity etc. Wanted to see if you had one in the ground
Do you have irrigation on your mango trees?
Kara Thornton They all have a slow drip, but we didn’t hand water enough and have had a lot of fruit drop. 😢
What Fertilizers do you use and what's your regimen?
Rodney Knox We will hopefully post a video on what we are currently doing soon.
@@SulcataGrove Thank you. I'm just trying to get some good info for my mangos

@@SulcataGrovethanks for the reply. Wonder why phosphate is left out. Did u r soil already contains the same? Did I have to omit it too.
@@tipsonts I haven’t tested our soil, but phosphate is mined in Florida.
@@SulcataGrove ok.
Why don't you have a carrie tree?
Clayton Jo It goes over ripe pretty quick and we heard it has some disease issues. We get plenty of Carrie mangos each year we visit Homestead.

T M We don’t grow Kent or any of the commercial varieties - there are so many better tasting mangos in our opinion, with fewer disease issues.
@@SulcataGrove What is your #1 variety that you'd recommend growing?
T M Coconut Cream and Lemon Meringue may be our top two.
Which are the top five for you?, pls
William Ramos-Munoz That’s tough. Up there would be Coconut Cream, Lemon Meringue, Orange Sherbet, M4, and then maybe Glenn, Pickering, or Valencia Pride just for production and nice flavor.
Sent to thailand pls i want it
