It’s been five years and I finally got one mango fruit. Thank you so much.

Awesome to see father and son doing what they love to do together

Just when I thought I knew a lot about mangoes, this guy comes in and completely destroys my notion of being somewhat of an expert on mangoes 😲😂😂. Very informative video. From Texas.

Dude, I've been gardening for years and I can't believe I didn't know this stuff. This channel is so great. It inspires me to become a teacher in my own field. I just wish I had florida climate for tropical fruits and peppers. Northern CA we can grow a lot, mangoes and pineapples are hard.

Hope your son is ok and can continue to enjoy the literal fruits of dad’s labor. 🤗

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 am growing avocados but will try mangoes soon. This is a great no-nonsense channel from a person who likes to share and is a good teacher.

Thank you for highlighting our 🇭🇹 mango which is called “Fransik mango”😊 it truly is one of a kind!

Very informative, currently starting a nursery for mango and avocado and I really need this good quality of content. I really enjoy this type of agriculture involving fruit trees. I am viewing from the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago in the Caribbean.

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!! Truly been an inspiration to me!

The way you talk and explain everything is so amazing! You have a way to wrap people's attention so easily and that's so cool!!! I'm amazed... truly amazed. You would be an amazing teacher for kids these days... I would've loved to grow watching and listening to you teach all of these things. I know some stuff because my dad loves his banana and papaya "trees" so much that he plants them everywhere we move and provide a really fresh and cool environment to backyards. Hi, from Cancún, México!🥭

I always learn so much from this channel. I have planted at least 20 mango seeds over the years and I could only get two of them to sprout and I sort of got frustrated and gave up trying, but now that I am going to try again and with the right type of mango. I will keep my eye open to see if there any Haitian mangoes available. Cheers from Ottawa, Canada 🍁

One of the best gardening informational videos from the thousands I have seen on you tube very interesting and actually gave me answers about mango trees I have been asking for years

My mind was just blown! How massively informitive!!!!

Love this and are so happy to hear the altafo mangoes are true to seed!! I love those so much! Another way to check if your boy is allergic to mangoes, is to rub some mango on the inside of his wrist, and if he breaks out in hives, then you will know.

Video is sooooo helpful. I wished I saw it sooner. I bought 2 atulfo grafted mango tree for $80 a piece which both didn’t make it when I could have grown my own from seed. I’m obsessed with growing mango trees and I live in zone 5. 😂

Excellent. You answered a lot of questions I was embarrassed to ask. Thank you!

SleepyLizard, I live in zone 9 and I wish I could grow mangoes, jackfruit, soursap etc, you are so blessed to live in Florida, you can grow any fruit that your heart desires, congratulations buddy!

I brought two mango seeds home from a Thailand vacation last year (the mangos were damn tasty there) and wondered why the seeds sprouted into each 3 or 4 plants. I am so happy now to know that they grow true to seed. Thank you for the video. Much love from Germany

I'm so fond of mango's&Avo's Tried to plant both did not work. You guys are true farmers. We have to buy these delicious fruit from the fruit &veg store. Not cheap. Thankyou need to try again when I go to the store hopefully there will be. Thanks again

Wow, very useful information from you about Polly and Mono etc that no one else has said before and as clear and easy to understand as you have explained. Much appreciated. Thanks very very much.

OMG. I love you man! You removed so much confusion from my mind. Thank you.

Thanks a lot for the lecture. I have about 4 mango trees in my compound, but growing big. I never new of all that you taught through this channel. Am going to try your method.

Enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing Tom, Nohe,and Tommy. 🙏😎🏖🏝

Informative as charm man, really going to plant mango with a lot of confidence will wait for the fruit for 3 years with trust and happiness Thanks a lot for the explanation

Awesome Mango varieties which i want to buy regularly.

I'm new to your channel and absolutely❤ it. Thanks for educating me. I pray that the shaking leave you and am sending healing your way through 🙏🙏🙏

I love your videos regarding planning information!! Love to visit your farm.

Thanks again for another great video 👍 I learned a lot today Keep up the great work 👌 Thank you 🙏 ❤️👏👏👏

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?

I have been watching tutorial videos for decades for a wide variety of topics from home diy, photography, outdoor sports, music performance, small engine and auto repair, cooking, on & on.... Your videos are, hands-down, the most enjoyable and thorough (best) I've seen. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Quick question; If I have a very young (

Great video! Very informative.

Thanks very much for this

This was helpful as I have planted a few PPK and OS seedlings that I would like to graft onto a mature stump to possibly add a new family member (I love the Lemon Merengue (Orange Sherbet, Lemon Zest) and Zill Indochinese (Sweet Tart, Kathy, Buttercream) lines so would l love another similar but different flavor and/or season

Very informative, Madame Francis grows true to seed. I have one that produces big mangoes. Thanks for sharing

I have been watching this channel for quite some time now. I was surprised to see Haitian mango on this episode. The Haitian mango that you presented is call "Mango Fransik". It is one of the best mangoes in Haiti. Most Haitian mangoes are poly-embryonic and have fibers and they are all delicious mangoes that are unique only to Haiti; unless exported to other places.

Excellent video! In Northern California growing mango from the seed is the way to go. Grafted varieties just suffer here.

Hey Tom, you mentioned that you’ve had shaky hands ever since that fire you experienced and you believe it may be anxiety related. I’m sorry that you had to go through that. Have you looked into somatic experiencing? Irene Lyon has been a great resource for me for understanding how trauma and survival stress get “trapped” in the body and what to do about it. She has a fantastic YT channel that I can highly recommend. All the best to you and thanks for making these videos!

God bless you Tom. You're an amazing human being.

I've wasted too much time watching mango videos less informative. Thanks for this. 🥭💚

You are a true leader.

You are a good man, all support to you 😅

Cool to see you mentoring the next generation.

I grow mangos from seed here is Sth Australia, my mango of choice is Kensington also referred to as Bowen and Kensington Pride, Kensington is Australia's most popular mango and is Polyrmbryonic, I however do not grow the seeds to get fruit I use the seedlings as rootstock that I V graft known reliable great consistent varieties to so I know exactly what I will get and when. The V graft is also known as the Wedge graft, get some mango seedling and start practicing the V graft.

This is so helpful. I have a very alien looking seed from a Alan Pur Banashem and I could not find anyrhing on google whether it is mono or poly. Thanks for sharing

Wow!! love your content. Just when you think you've viewed all the vids on growing mangoes you learn something new. I live in Jacksonville, FL (northeast Florida-zone 9a, 9b), what type of mango variety would work best in my climate? or is there one at all?

Awesome buddy 👍 thanks for sharing great job well done 👌✌️🥭🥭🥭🥭🥭🥭🥭

Excellent video as i am trying to figure some of this out❤❤

Fabulously informative video!

Awesome video, maybe Tommy is just allergic to the skin of mangoes. Could of been some was in that smoothie.

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.

Tom your explication are real source of abondance my friend cheers Family

Thanks. I think you saved me a lot of time.

Those sure look good and sweet! Do you still have to graft the polyembryonic mango in order to get a mango. Thank you for all the good information.

Excellent video...! and Asian mango may be Langra or Mallika variety.....

Very cool I live in San Diego and just planted a couple atalufo seedlings 🤙

Tom your knowledge is extensive and I love teachings. Are you self taught ? 😊 Bill

Very nice explanation, thank you. We have the same thing in Greece with mandarin trees in the sidewalk. The fruit is disgusting, and never understood why they didn't grow regular tasty fruit trees instead

Hi Tom. Very helpful videos to those who like to know more about mango plants . Thank you very much. But I like to know from you is, will a mango tree produce both type of seeds, ie, mono & polio embryonic.

damn it! ive planted a bunch of monos

I'm Gardner from Pakistan we do grafting on mangoes i have many verities in my orchard 😊

I've never had allergies to mangos from eating them but once I handled a whole bunch and I was itchy for days from the sap. Also my aunt could eat the meat but she got itchy from the skins too.

Thank you for this informative video! 😊

Your channel is amazing, I have learned so much about mango's and my other favorite avocados. I live in Tampa and have a friend in Sarasota who has a huge mango tree that is about 20 years old. He gave me mangos and now I'm in love with them. He said it is the " Kent ", and I saved about 5 seed pods to plant. If I don't plant this year can they be planted next year ?

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.

Excellent video!!👍👍

White Chaunsa is the variety you would want, rather you would need. 😊

Thanks you for sharing you are the best 😮

Great video. I eat part of a Aldis or Sams Club store purchased mango daily. I extract the seed and inspect them. I cut the thinner flat part of the seed pod to open the seed pod. I've noticed that all of them have a cut along the undeveloped stem site. I guess that it is done using a lazer device and is done to prevent its germination. Can you confirm this?

Awww, just went to your site and you are out of everything. When will you get more mango?

India has hundreds of varieties one of the best is the alphonse. If your lucky enough to find one try it they are delicious.

Video was full of knowledge....polyembryonic seeds only 😂

I've always been intrigued but that exotic bright-red mango variety that is not available here in South Asia. The colors suggest it would be extra pulpy. What's it called?

This is incredibly wholesome. Reminds me of when my dad taught me how to grow marijuana back in my teenage years.

Thanks for sharing.

Ya know when you google or youtube search something for an answer and get everything but.. well this video is exactly what i was looking for and even has info i didn't know I was looking for l. 😅 Excellence

Another great informative video that you make fun, factual and enjoying to watch! With that being said MEH trees always has to ask extra questions lol… I’ll try to keep it short… I have some poly trees that in fact have 3 stronger looking almost even match seedlings at decent size… what if the weaker one never made it and these 3 are the strong ones that are good to go is that possible? 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?? Thx lol

The guy wanted as quickly as possible outta there😂. But the rest was very interesting and informative.

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!😄💞

Recently bought some seeds of Alphonso and all of them are poly The guy I bought from is in Malaysia and he test them in his labs

Thank you!!

Grandpaa explained like a pro

I never knew to let the mango fall to tell which side had more flesh 🤯 Also, chaunsa (pakistani) mango kinda has that curl at the bottom. unfortunately when i opened one it was monoembryonic.

I personally like the taste from the Atoulfo

Nice

Take a drink every time this man says polyembryonic.

Good to know. What about golden queens?

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?

I was so shocked to discover polyembryonic seeds when growing mangos. I also discovered that citrus also can be polyembryonic.

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.

Thanks

I like this content so thanks for it

Not sure what mango i planted it only had one embrio and looked like the red green mango... lets hope it gives me fruit 😅 it does seem to have more than one tree or something cause there's 3 shoots, one tall and one not so tall and one still small... jup mine looked like the 1st seed.

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.

Very informative.

13:44 East asian varieties and varieties developed from them are mostly polyembrionic have s shape And Varieties from India and the varieties made from them are monoembrionic and mostly dont have the s shape

I love the Thailand mango Nam Dok Mai I think I eat to much Haiti mango Nam Dok Mai number one you need to go to Guadeloupe 😊

How do u grow a bad tasting mango? I've only ever tasted sweet or more sour ones? But I still like both

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.
