I had a Haitian Mango tree and it produced many mangoes, very sweet and great tasting. I wasn’t fond of the fiber but the taste was so good. My Neigbors always looked forward to getting some from me. Then Hurricane Irma came along and wiped out several of my mango trees including Haitian Mango. I had also the Nom Dac Mai Mango which is my favorite of them all. Top 1.

Very helpful video, been trying to grow a mango tree myself but haven't had success yet. Quick pointer, Ataulfo mango is originally from Chiapas, México not California, named after his original owner Ataulfo Morales (Ataulfo had a mango tree in his backyard and an agricultural engineer asked for permission to create a graft with his variety and named it after him).

I'm sure know this but mangoes contain the exact same chemical found in poison ivy and poison oak. It is mainly found in the sap that is on the mango skin when you pick a fresh one. Each year I get a horrible allergic reaction when I pick and clean a bunch of our Haitian mangoes. I try to be careful but it's easier said than done. It's possible that your son had the same thing going. I can usually eat them just fine but man if i get too much sap or skin whie eating my face and body gets swolen and itchy! Love your stuff!!

Hey Tommy, I watched a video on your farm by someone else, you are the guest star. You mentioned that you have a mango tree that doesn’t grow fruit, and it’s the first one you planted. Don’t take my word for it because I was 13 years old when I was into growing fruit trees. My neighbor was already retired, and I learned a lot from him. In fact, I started selling fruit when I was 8 years old, a very profitable little business near a bus stop in Matola Mozambique. He had a type of mango that, if you watered it, it wouldn’t grow and wouldn’t bare fruit. It only got water when it rained. Most of the trees had roots on the surface, I remember tripping on them, and the trees that we didn’t water, there was no roots to trip on. I remember that because that’s where I played most of the time. In fact, it’s the trees that gave us the most shade. I grew up there, next door, and I moved away when I was 13. I don’t know the reason why he told me not to water those trees. He also had 12 orange trees that he didn’t want them watered, and they were delicious. Now that I’m 60, I’m curious to know why were the best mango trees never watered. Maybe you have one there, the one that isn’t producing. Wouldn’t it be funny if there is such tree that needs no water to be healthy?

In Costa Rica I saw lots of different mangos. Most of them were from random trees and had small yellow fruit but there are lots of shapes. Some are like a kidney and others more round. Some people have grafted mangoes but most are hybrids or unknown varieties. They call the bigger green and red ones mangas instead of mangos. The big ones seem to get worms there so most people have yellow fruits. I'd love to check out those trees with you during the fruiting season. I could learn a lot and you probably would too.

I just found a perfect way to peel the husk off a mango seed (had to do it over 100 times). Take a pair of old prunners... the ones that aren't sharp anymore and a bit rusted and you were going to throw it away anyway.. and cut the end part of the seed where it connected to the stem on the tree. Use the prunners to grab on to one side of the husk wall and then start rolling the prunner like you would open an old can. It will peel that husk without damaging the seed inside and without endangering your hands, and it's low force. You don't even need gloves or protection to do that. Now it should be a lot easier to get that embrio because most of one wall of the husk got peeled off. Give it a try.

I also have several that in fact there is clearly the weaker one in this one’s case should I cut it off or replant it by itself in hopes it being fertile will be able to grow and fruit or will this one need to be grafted? aka “the weaker one”. Or if I leave all of them as I as gps created will the tree be fine and just be a cluster “you know what” but still grow good mangos .. or the short and sweet answer which I think is do-able … take all of the poly seedling seperate and discard the smaller one and always keep them as single trees so they aren’t fighting each other since they’re so close … so many questions and sorry for the long post and I know it’s not worded the best but i guess In this case … WHAT DOES TOM DO IN THESE REGARDS TO HIS POLY SEEDLINGS??

Hi MEH, I'm not sure how to tell which one is the fertilized one if they all look the same. I suppose it's possible the fertilized one already died. You can either discard or plant the fertilized seedling just know that it won't grow true to seed so it will need to be grafted or you'll grow a wild mango. I wouldn't leave them as a cluster. I suggest you carefully separate them and plant each in it's own pot. Keep your questions coming. I always enjoy your comments.

Hopefully Tommy isnt allergic. That would be sad😢 being surrounded by all those lovely mangoes. Thank you. This was interesting.! Atulfos are my favorite.❤ Now that I know how to get into the seed, I'll try sprouting one or two. ..... Noticed Tommy is almost tall as you now!😄💞

I planted few varieties in my backyard: Nam Doc Mai, Maha Chanook, Mallika, CAC. They are all grafted. My question: when they will flower and cross pollinate by air or insects, what type of mango will they produce?
@SleepyLizard Жыл бұрын
if they are grafted they will produce the variety you bought. The fruit is not impacted by the pollination, the seed inside it is. A nam doc mai for example will can be pollinated by all kinds of other trees but every fruit will be a Nam Doc Mai...but the fertilized seedling will be a random combination of the pollenizer and the mother tree. In the case of Nam Doc Mai your seed will give you multiple seedlings all but one will be a clone of the mother.

I was so shocked to discover polyembryonic seeds when growing mangos. I also discovered that citrus also can be polyembryonic.
@SleepyLizard Жыл бұрын
Huh, I didn't know that about citrus
@johnliberty3647 Жыл бұрын
Seems the 2 sides of the bean like seed is it’s own embryo but I am not sure which varieties of citrus this applies to. I did not notice it on any of my key lime however the crappy looking Florida oranges sold at Publix had a very high rate of dual embryos. Everything else is seedless it seems. I am selecting for long thorns and cold hardiness (zone 9a Florida). Perimeter hedging and I may graft satsuma oranges on the inside. And if all fails I switch to mysore raspberries for a perimeter.

Interesting, I have several Mango seeds that sprouted 2 or 3 stems. I will keep those for growing further. And like you said, they all came from the big s shaped Mangoes. I am wondering if the same applies to avocados. I have many that come out with 2 stems, and yesterday I found one that sprouted on my compost bin with unfrigginbelievible 7 stems. One broke off when I got it out, but 6 are still there. Never seen anything like that.
@SleepyLizard Жыл бұрын
with avocados I usually prune away all but one stem otherwise they are competing with each other for nutrition and stunt each others' growth

@finsterhund Жыл бұрын
are mango self sterile? Because if all mangos are viable with each other and came from the same relatively recent common ancestor would it not be possible to ensure one variety tree is only pollinated by the same variety and essentially inbreed them until you get a new variety that tastes like the same but is polyembryonic? Also I can't believe after seeing multiple doctors and neurologists to no avail that it's a mango seed video on youtube where I find out that my muscle tremors might actually be a symptom of my PTSD. Thank you so much for sharing your experience about the housefire. I will be doing more research into this.
@SleepyLizard Жыл бұрын
I'm not sure about the genetics and how to purposely breed mangos. A lot of the varieties we have are from open pollination and we select the best ones. I hope you find a solution for your tremors

Valencia Pride seed is Poly Embryonic since its fruit has an "S" shape. Its parent is Haden- with a Mono Embryonic seed. Could the Valencia Pride seed still have been Nono Embryonic instead of Poly Embryonic? If you know the answer, I am just trying to better understand this concept. its still a riddle to me. Thanks.

Valencia Pride is mono embryonic but yes you are right it has an S shape.
