I wish I found your channel sooner. There is a vareity from Kenya which I can recall as Apple Mango. This was one of the most delicious mangos I ever had growing up there. Also there are varieties good for juicing.
Paul / Alex, thx from Lehigh Acres... I'm putting "Little Gem" (late season / disease resistant) tree (scion) on the bucket list. Clark (BTW, that bird singing in the background early in the video 3:45 - nice.)
Hardly makes sense you can be permitted to ship a tree but not the fruit. I bought a Mallika from a local nursery. Haven't yet tasted the fruit. But if I had seen this videos before buying it I would not have purchased it knowing about that potentially bad tasting ripening issue. Now I think it will stay in the pot until someone wants it. With all the enthusiasm you guys have, wouldn't it be nice if you could open up a Tropical Acres Farm outlet in California!! Because even with the locally available mangos im grocery stores or Farmer's Markets its hard to find anything that is fresh or that has any flavor worth eating. we are missing out!! 😀😀 keep making these great and informative videos
I'm in SoCal and I have no mangos trees and now I want like 3, better stick to my avocados for now. Amazing that there are so many varieties. Thanks for the knowledge.
Love the hat! I could sure use one. I'm really impressed with Alex. He's like a mango encyclopedia! I've been thinking of getting rid of my fruitpunch tree, which I planted a little over a year ago. It's barely grown since I planted it and it's always covered with what looks like black soot. Thanks to Alex's comments on fruitpunch, I've decided to cut my losses and replace it with a less disease prone variety!
Wow Alex you certainly know your Mango’s. I’m impressed with not only your knowledge but the way you speak. Great job young man. Paul thank you for this outstanding video. Well done gentleman.
Fyi people in Arizona and Cali...My 2year old Dupois Saigon seedling grows right through 118 degrees ..no cover or leaf burn..very vigorous. I am grafting my other seedlings from wild mango trees I got from Florida over to it. If you can get the seed from that use it as a rootstock it does really well in the intense heat in Arizona.Fast growing seedling
I really want to try some of those "exotic" varieties he has listed on his web page and some of the new Zill varieties that I just have not had a chance to try yet. , I met Alex a couple times bought some trees from him, I'm out of space for more trees, but there is one tree I want to graft a couple of new varieties onto my Edgar tree, so will probably get some Scions at some point.
Hi agip....is something wrong with Edgar..I bought some from Walter zill couple years ago and they were delicious...one of my favs...is it a low producer?
@@MichaelSmith-fu3bm it has been for me, but what I have heard from others is that it is productive, I may have just had bad luck with the rain when the flowers were open this year. my tree has about 8 fruit on it, not long before they will be ripe. looks like all my fruiting trees are going to be ready about the same time, I think I am going to explode lol.
Which mangoes are the ones that need cold to flower? Would be very good information for dry hot (schorching sun) areas with mild colds like central Texas zone 9. I bought a Carrie mango it’s still in pot but has grown since I got it two months ago and it’s exposed to our scorching sun and has no damage to trunk or leaves it’s flourishing looks very healthy but I’m terrified to lose it if I put it on the ground it’s still to small about 11/2 ft tall I think I’ll try next year, I would like to plant other varieties but there’s so many to choose from

Did you add Little Gem?
So much information..thanks so much. I've started growing from seed

Find varieties that do well in your area like ataulfo, South Florifa has very different growing conditions
@@bryankc9644 looked around today and everything Around here is manila which I don't think is the same as a ataulfo right?
It is different but does fine. Unfortunately, La Verne nursery is selling tiny mango trees this year.
Absolutely great video, very informative, nice for sharing 👍👌

great video. enjoyed watching. thanks too you both. a lot of good info.
I need to take trip to west palm to try some of those mangos when they ready
Father's Day has become a happening at Tropical Acres. Fruit stand overflows with a wide variety
Bought mango scions from Alex last summer. They were quite healthy & well packaged.
Glad to become aware of the Mekong mango

Where did you find Dubois Saigon fruit…?
@@offgridmangogrower Florida when I go in the summer...you can also maybe order some through Alex...maybe call them and request some in a box
Mango trees love the sun 🌞
Excelent! Full of great information.
Wonderful video, Paul. We got lots of scions from Alex after our “Let’s Find Out!” Tours of Florida Mango Growers and the Fruit n Spice Park.
Great video very informative
So thankful
Love this video😍🥭🥭🥭
Great video!
Great video! Does he grow number 11 mango? And if so is there any video of it?
really enjoying your videos Paul ..keep them coming .. really interesting and informative..Thanks for sharing
Thank you
Hope to stop by Tropical Acres and maybe pickup some of those uncommon mango types one day. Do they do tree sales??
@@OrlandoBackyardGardening Yes
@@OrlandoBackyardGardeningI've purchased 10 trees from Tropical Acres
I love this video. Awesome information! Does he grow jackfruits?

Squam256 is the shit! - The rootstock hoarder :)
Need that rootstock
Here in South Africa are oak trees of 400 years
Please keep us updated on shipping to California please.

Contact Alex and he can tell you what's best to get for where you live
Mango trees love sun 🌞
Nice video. One query, 13:51 is it arka nilkiran or Sindhu mango? Alphanso× ratna is Sindhu only. Sindhu has very thin stone, nearly seedless.
Arka Neelkiran. We grow Sindhu also and forgot which one was the Ratna cross. Neelkiran is Neelum x Alphonso
Great video. What are good mango varieties for high humid areas?
they are tropical fruits
@@FruitfulTrees I want to take few varieties to graft in Sri Lanka. I am looking for few cultivars that could thrive in high rainfall areas
@@sohanwarusha8558 Nam Doc Mai, Rosa mango from Brazil 🇧🇷
Which are tastewise top 3 red coloured varieties? Tell what you think .
Hodson
Ah Ping
Crimson Delight
How do I contact Alex regarding shipping trees to California..
Good video by the way
his website is below the video in the description
I dont see it?
@@EddieMunozepcall Becky, she returns calls if you leave a message
Hialeah a city in Miami has more mangoes than India lol
How? All the yards are poured concrete
Nope not all of them. Many are just like anywhere else
How do you keep out the animals?
Hawks 🦅 and eagles pick off the squirrels
Do y’all ship trees? I went to the website and shipping policy says you don’t ship or deliver trees.
They ship mango trees now
You mentioned top worked….can you point to a reliable video on top working?…..I can graft stone fruits but lousy results with avos.
What is the address of this orchard or nursery?
Their website is under the video in the description and has all their contact info
Which mangoes are good for Louisiana weather?
I don't know if Mangoes will grow there. Have you seen any with fruit there?
You gotta protect them from frost. If you dip below 26°F for extended periods, your gonna have problems keeping them alive
@Greater Good Thanks found that out the hard way had a seedling that i grew for a year and the frost killed it but I'm gonna try again
@@bigdogg2257large mature trees are more resistant to cold. Vigorous trees may be your solution.
How to buy mango

THUMBS DOWN: time for a wireless mic for better audio.
I know I have a wireless mic now and used it with Alex on my last few videos with him.
Paul has wind noise problems with many of his videos. Needs wind sock buffer protection
Update: Paul has resolved 🎤 problems, he's getting so much better at production
why are mangos sold in UK, Europe came from Brazil, Dominican Rep or India? none from the US
Good question
Likely due to shelf life. Tommy Atkins, considered a mediocre mango - has great shelf life and thus commercially viable.
Most of Florida's fruit is consumed locally or purchased online and shipped.
I am so glad I don't live near an airport.
Planes seem to get picked up by the 🎤. I've been to Tropical Acres, the airport noise is a non issue
