I have a Glenn that is about 20 feet tall. How high do you want to go? :)

My VP is like 25-30 Ft High. they do grow incredibly fast. plus its easy to take care of, and they taste good.

I picked it up way back during the "Cut your citrus, for voucher program" back in the early 2000s, I believe my orange tree was chopped in 03/04.

So I purchased an Avocado and a Mango plant, at Wal Mart.

Anyway, it wasn't big, and almost died with all the hurricanes we got, it was bent over and leafless after Wilma. The Avocado didn't survive.

Now you can see it clear on Google Earth lol. its a monster, at only, what, maybe 10-12 years old? ( not sure how old it was when i got it )

Thanks for all the input, guys. I will definitely get a VP. On my wish list, there are also the new varieties released by Zills, which include Lemon Zest, Coconut Cream, and Harvest Moon. What do you think of these in terms of vigor and mature size?

Michael - this being a primary night - I'd like to cast a vote for Alphonso. It by far outraced my Valencia Pride in growth in 2011. ( Although my Valencia was grafted to a Haden)

Also, think about the flavor - I think the Alphonso will beat the VP in that department from the general consensus i've heard bantered around here

Hey Mangodog, Alphonso it is! It is on my purchase list now. Thanks for your help!

mangodog, can we see a picture of your Alphonso. That must be a nice looking tree.
