Recommend all trres in my backyard garden except for the Valencia Pride mango tree which may not ripe properly in coastal areas of southern California.
Thank you for your feedback. I have strung up the branches late last year and the tree is looking good now. I will do another VocalReview on the tree later this year.
Thanks for sharing . I have seen other tropical fruit forests and have got bitten by the bug . I no longer space large standard trees . I put dwarf trees closer together. I see you have room to expand . You may want loquat to get fruit early. See what you can add to harvest in all months of the year ? Just a thought higha
Valenica pride ,glenn and keitt are very good in socal . Just harvest them when they reach full size from July to October . If you don't pick them off the tree . The fruits will hang for at least 10~12 months .
Sweet Tart is my favorite mango. Also a favorite of Alex from TropicalAcresFarm in FL. It has a good balance of sweet and sour, with a bit of resinous flavor. Try the fruit first, if you decide to get another mango tree.
I think wax jambu trees can fruit in pots so you can try. Also, you may be able to grow wax jambu in San Jose if you plant close to a heat source. Good luck.
I came across your videos and really love your *clean* garden. I'm also amazed that all your trees have put on so much growth. Do you think this is due to the absence of grass and vegetation? e.g. sapodilla known to grow slowly
Hi Tom, I don’t know for sure but I would believe that if you remove all competing vegetation surrounding your plant then your plant would have the best chance to take in all available nutrients especially when your plant is young.
Wow loaded with mangoes. I love mango. If you trim your tree can you share the scion? I can ask my son to pick up he goes to school in Anaheim. He can send it to me in San Jose.
I bought this tree in ~ December 2020 in a 22 gallon pot I believe. Since then the tree has grown from ~ 5 feet tall to ~ 6 to 8 feet tall in the 2 years that it has been in the ground. Yes, I have heard Sapodillas are slow growing but mine appears to be above average when it comes to growth.
It's about 2-1/2 years old and it is now about 6 or 7 feet tall. I bought it from Home Depot as a 1-1/2 feet tall seedling. I had some papayas from my tree last night and it tasted like heaven. Use some kind of drip irrigation and don't recommend to water during the winter in southern California. They are susceptible to root rot.
@@vocalreview try it out. i am a novice level grafter with some success and many failures. but i am getting better at it. i grafted stone fruits, mangoes and citrus.
