We really do need this and all the growers across America and beyond to be a television show, like an all day news channel only it's actually good like these videos and the community, the big one, of growers and also mushroom farmers and aqua growing and cross overs. Love it. Makes me happy to be in Florida.
A neighbor had to cut a huge mango tree, loaded with fruit a lot were small and all were green. I saved about 20 from the trash, 18 of them turned yellow and were very good.
It is amazing, interesting to know about your interest with mango and your depth knowledge about mango.i am a farmer from South India i do have few rare collection of mangoes in my farm..i watch most of your videos and it is truly superb and informative.. thank you .
Correction.. it IS the reason aside from my kids that we stay in Florida. I love hearing the lical names, cant wait to staycation 'nursery` style. Getting a water bill saved up for good finds.
There is definitely an art to picking mangoes, and different varieties makes a difference. I bought some beverly from a guy in merritt island and these took about 2 weeks to ripen. I was upset thinking he had picked them early, but they turned out to be the best mangoes i had that year
Richard mentioned about Gedong mango from Indonesia. As far as I know ( grew up there) The "Gedong" mango always sold in the market when their skin uniformly turned orange color almost like apricot and more round in shape vs elongated and they are fragrant.
I was so surprised to hear Dr. Campbell say that his favorite mango (off camera) is an Edward. I thought for sure he would have selected the Angie. His explanation makes perfect sense. Great video Paul.
Very nice interview. Mesk (Misk) is actually Arabic for Musk. It is a type of perfume. So I am assuming it is named for its scent or odor. It must have a perfumy odor.
Richard is off his rocker. 1week to wait for a mango to ripen is usually picked before prime and to late for the best eating quality. He does it that way for bruising and handling issues I am sure. All mango varieties vary but with all of my varieties, the 2-4 days max is best for top quality fruit.
Love the video and as far as early coming in late my Rosie gold which normally ripen march-April. Are still green on the tree and we're in June weird year for sure.
I know he’s a mango expert, but I disagree in regards to ripening mangos. Nothing better than a tree ripened mango. Such as Pickering. I know there are select zill varieties like sugarloaf that should be picked prior to tree ripening so It doesn’t rot, but as a whole, nothing better than tree ripened. You know the fruit got all the nutrients possible.
Y’all live in Fl the Mexican community sell mangoes with tajin / what he called salt and chili powder. I find them all over selling it at fruit stands , flee markets and stores . It’s good.
