This is my most favorite fruit! Mangoes have nothing on mame! The taste is heavenly! 😊 They love sandy soil, so Florida is a good place for it to thrive.

Here in Puerto Rico there are lots of those trees. The fruit is called simply MAMEY. The tree grows enormous and that fruit is very hard. When it falls down from a tall tree, it could break the glasses of your car or seriously hurt you, if it hits you in the head. Ok, now this is the closing of the story. The thing is that in Puerto Rico, when something, anything, hits you hard, we use the word MAMEYAZO as a slang.

This father son duo will rack up a boat load of knowledge! Can’t wait to see more of these guys

Ate these growing up in the Bahamas! One of my favorite fruits!

I love how differently everyone describes the taste at the end! Thanks for letting me try it!!!

I grew up in Trinidad eating that fruit mamy apple can grow very large like over five pounds you have to eat it when it is ripe when it is ripped it falls on the ground the fruit is very sweet I am impressed with this farm they are very knowledgeable yes we uses to give them to our pigs in Trinidad the the trees are very huge like 100 feet if not grafted and it need two trees to bear fruit if not grafted I have not eaten that fruit in over 40 years since I left Trinidad this is the first time I am seeing the fruit I will have to come there and purchase one

I'm from Cuba i having seen a mamey here in America is great fruit and great tree

Very familiar with this fruit when I was back home in india… grows very big!!

Paul that is one of my favorite fruit growing up in PR, hard to find and can't grow here in Orlando, careful, large tree in natural habitat. So good!

You can tell that guy loves and support kid; I can’t keep my son out of the A/C for 5 minutes 😂

As a teenager I lived in mamee -Bay,st Ann Jamaica,i once ate this fruit there

We have a very big variety and brightly colored.

I will love to eat it man. My family love this fruit. In Cuba we have a lot of those trees

Absolutely love this fruit we had it last year at Lara Farm and had to grab a tree...

Good business strategy for Xains to reach out to you

In St. Croix U.S. Virgin Islands we make a filling for our tarts which is similar to pies but a denser crust I’d say. It’s so good. But Hurricane Hugo took most/almost all of our trees. As far as I know Puerto Rico has a lot of them still.

This was a really cool video with the tastings at the end

Recently fell in love with these myself! Aloha!

Squirrels love 'em

I grow up eating these, very nice fruit.

Wow, great. Hello! I'm watching your video, have a nice day.❤❤❤

Thanks for sharing this! Have you heard of a monkey orange? Its a "food" tree that grows in Florida too. Super unique!

i remember this tree from my childhood in the Dominican Republic, didn't know how and when to eat it so my family made desserts from it. the tree is humongous so if you are going to grow it, make sure that you have the space for it

They apparently have a tap root so keeping it in a pot for long might not be a great idea. I bought one only recently. When I unpotted it, the soil all fell apart and came loose. The root system was basically just one super long tap root much longer/taller than the vegetative portion of the plant. It was very much coiled all around the inside of the pot but it was still soft and pliable thankfully. I was able to dig a deep hole and got the tap root as deep without breaking it as I could manage. It had a couple of secondary roots emerging from just below the trunk but they were fairly new and short. I made sure to keep those close to the soil surface.

Paul, I don't think there's anyone in Miami who hasn't heard of Mamey, unless they just moved here from up north and never lived in a tropical country. Some people mistake the Sapote, for the Mamey, but most latinos and carribeans call this Mamey, and know the difference between the two an I've never heard anyone call it Mamey apple. . My wife's been asking for this for years, but the tree is so big I don't have room, same with lychee. I don't particularly like the fruit, so I'd rather add another variety of mango than this huge tree. Besides this fruit is so prolific, I can buy these down here on the side of the road so cheap, that it's not worth the extra work to grow one and keep it small.

One of my childhoods fruits. You can make ice cream with the fruit.

There is a massive 50 foot tall mammea Americana at the college I work at in davie. Great smell, great taste. But hard to eat and weird texture for me. Not worth growing for me until I see a dwarf variety or something better tasting and more edible. I guess I need to try the one you tasted and see if it matches up to the one that I have tasted.

We here in the U.s.vi know about that fruit for years

Hello my friend, I know these fruit by the name of (MAMEY) nothing more it grow or we have in all Central America and South America, the best time to eat it is when fall off the tree, but if you cut it off the tree you could always ripe the fruit as you would be ripe a avocado fruit, I suggest you to an serging on a different fruit that we call it in Central America to be more specific from Costa Rica CHUPA CHUPA and it’s very similar to MAMEY, good luck AMIGO and really love your videos about fruits plants 👍👍👍👍

It’s pronounced “maa meee” not “maa may”. At least that’s how it’s pronounced in Guyana, South America. I think it’s an Amazonian fruit. 😁

Just planted a two trees in my garden, here in Grenada w.i. remember to plant it away from house foundation

That 15g is definitely the same size as the 3g. It's only taller because of the pot size.

The young man wont let the older guy talk lol lol lol.

It’s an apricot. They have it all over in the Caribbean.

In El Salvador we call then mamey and the other one is zapote which I don’t like them 7:17

Inquiry from India, is mamey apple have male and female plants ?

Very tricky tree to source in Australia. Still haven't had any luck after 2 years of hunting for it!

Dios te bendiga 🙏 en 🇵🇷 Puerto Rico se le yama mamei deliciosa

Where can I get a Small tree or seeds, to plant it in my house. Thanks

Can it grow in zone 9b?

That kid needs to stop interrupting his elder.

How do you plant the Mammey seed? Can you do a video?

Does this nursery ship to other states? I need to pick out a new fruit tree to replace one I lost in a storm. I live in Georgia.

I've been trying to find this for so long. I want to know if you ship to Georgia. Thanks

The true mamey. The other should be called red sapote.

Can imagine po be imported to india amia po

Can you grow it on a pot?

so from seed to harvest how long? or from graft to harvest how long? thank you . God bless you

How are you sir. I have a question as a new floridian on mango that I see you know well. First do you have to graft to another mango tree or can you use other trees. And if you can other trees are there certain types you have to use and types you absolutely can not? Thanks in advance, be blessed and keep growing!

Paul how big was the tree you bought? I bought a grafted one like 18 inches.

What temp zones will this grow in? I am in Palm Bay florida.

Do not grow in a pot makes no sense I live in Grenada and have lone outside in my yard but a foot tall best fruit ever

Paul, i don't have any more space.😢

Paul buys another tree 🌳, where does he plant it?

Has anyone tried growing this in zone 9B?

In the Caribbean these aren't eaten raw, they're cooked

MAMEY IS A PUERTO RICAN TRADITION FRUIT 🇵🇷🔥🇵🇷🔥🇵🇷🔥🇵🇷🔥🇵🇷🔥🇵🇷🔥🇵🇷🔥🇵🇷
