A papaya seedling sprouted next to it and I let it grow.<br /><br />In the last tropical storm, almost all the papaya trees were blown over, this one snapped the taproot of the mango tree and almost 4 years of experiment is ruined. I've since planted a yellow jaboticaba in its place.The Budget Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07620870316917511992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6266956132713397509.post-45889106263470172612013-03-13T17:48:42.528-04:002013-03-13T17:48:42.528-04:00so how are these mango trees now?so how are these mango trees now?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6266956132713397509.post-27972966188876569392010-05-10T18:26:34.745-04:002010-05-10T18:26:34.745-04:00Mangotreeman,
Most of our excellent cultivars we ...Mangotreeman,<br /><br />Most of our excellent cultivars we have today, were chance seedlings. When you plant a poly-embrionic seed (the ataulfo mentioned here, is poly-embrionic), you are almost guaranteed to have an exact clone of the parent plant. Even when planting mono-embrionic seeds, chances are still good that you will still get a very good quality fruit, since the parents of that seedling are most probably all excellent fruits - that is especially true here in South Florida, where so many excellent mango varieties have been bred (from seeds).<br /><br />http://www.tropicalpermaculture.com/growing-mangoes.html<br /><br />http://aggie-horticulture.tamu.edu/extension/homefruit/mango/mango.htmlThe Budget Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07620870316917511992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6266956132713397509.post-8449239391992152742010-05-03T20:19:54.695-04:002010-05-03T20:19:54.695-04:00FYI...

I saw one at Excalibur Rare Fruit Tree nursery that must have been 60 feet tall and probably even wider.The Budget Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07620870316917511992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6266956132713397509.post-694795933948060542009-04-26T01:59:00.000-04:002009-04-26T01:59:00.000-04:00It's always fun to experiment.
