Gary Zill's Mango Variety Development Project 

Without this guy and his family, I’m afraid the mango game in Florida and probably the entire U.S. would be much less exciting. He’s honestly one of my heroes. ✌️

Many years ago Gary, I called you because my keitt mango tree had black covering the leaves. You came to my home on motorcycle to see my tree. Then I followed you to your tree farm/ home and you gave me something harmless to spray on the tree. You wouldn't let me pay for it. So, I bought some honey. This was such a memorable day for me that I have never forgotten. You gave me a tour of your trees and told me a story about them and how they were named. You showed me how you graft the trees. It was an amazing day. Thank you for this wonderful day I still remember.

So glad this man went through all the work to get us these varieties

Sugarloaf is a very good piece of fruit thank you Mr Zill i look forward to my tree growing and giving me many many fruit !

long long awaiting for a video with Gary Zill. this is a very interesting and inspiring video,, every mango ive bought fromTruly Tropical, all seeds was replanted, hope i come up with a new variety for my kids, if not ill top work to know variety,,,, Get sions from Truly Tropical ,, cant wait for mango season at Truly tropical again.. love ya chris

Lovely video! Also very informative. Production of the new mango varieties took a lot of time and effort!!!

Truly Tropical - I almost feel like a mango cult member! (The only cult I've ever thought worthwhile!) Me, in Ft. Myers, FL... keep up the good work. Shout out to the Zills!!!

Glad to have most of those new varieties !

Love this video and information within it.

I need this pandemic to end so I can fly to Florida and stuff myself with mangoes!

Really a nice video and very interesting. Marly has done what I would love to do. Always wondered what all my seedlings would end up being like if I could let them grow. I'm sticking with the Mama tree and trying to graft all my seedlings. I've had SO MANY compliments, it's been overwhelming. Wish I could do it all over again, ( I wouldn't be a printer). Keep up the good work! Perry's CHAMPA MANGO

I’d like to hear more on calcium and any other soil amendments!

The level of commitment this man has to mangos is impressive

Such a valuable video! Thanks for the creation and helpful edits.

All I can say is "Wow". Here I am, babysitting my one and only NDM #4 :-)

Great video, Chris!!

This is great to be able to listen to Gary explain his project. Please do more. What is the disease resistance of Little Gem, Pina Colada & Ugly Betty?

Thats the Mango Man

great information, thanks for sharing!

I'm convinced Har and Zill are the same Man ♂️ 😆

Very danceable music.

Great video Chris. Thank you for sharing. Do you happen to have a video on the best potting mix for growing mango in containers? We want to keep our Pickering in a pot on the patio.

In San Diego, mangos will typically fruit from seed within a few years, 5 years.

Legend says

Is sugar loaf a good productive tree? Any info on that tree is appreciated.

what kind of mango would you recommend to grow in small back yard in the really, really hot Arizona weather ???

Good morning Chris, i hope all is well how do you rate the sugar loaf thanks ?

HARVEST MOON MANGO!!!

Amazing! What would you say is the best spacing to plant mango trees (around 10) in the ground in a somewhat limited space? Also, from your past experience would you say that Juliette and Super Julie have similar taste?

You need aroma in mango you must come to India and taste Banganapalli mango which is mother of Indian mangoes and more ever you have to come to my 80years mango farm one mango can fill aroma your house if you put in on your dining table after rippening

Which mango cultivars are lowest in allergens? I have Anaphylaxis reactions to many things. I can eat Keitt mango if very ripe with minimal problems, Yet even standing near Tommy Atkins for 30 seconds causes me to break out in hives that last over 24 hours & requires Prednisone treatment. I would like to grow a mango that I don't react to with allergic rashes. Do you know the best cultivars for me to research?

Taste test some Australian Kensington Pride Mango

Can we get a address, so I can visit his mango farm

Does he sell his fruit ?

what's the most Anthracnose resistant variety,tougher variety,especially in the semi-dwarf sizes ? thanks in advance.

Get him a chair next time.🙂🥭🥭🥭🥭🥭🥭🥭

Anyone can tell me what is his address? Or number.
