Dot mango's hard to find

13 years ago

Hello everyone, I'm new to the forum and I just started late last year planting tropical fruit trees in my yard.

As of late I've been searching for the Dot mango. After reading several posts by hmhausman I've been searching for a Dot mango, but none of the well-known nurseries in South Florida (like PIN and Lara's) carry it. I called Zill's today and they carry it in a wide range of pots, but they don't sell to the public. Does anyone know of any local nursery that might carry this tree?

Thanks

I'll be sure to use my gps, hahaha!

Mangodog, the Dot is a seedling of Carrie and it's virtually the complete package. It's a medium sized tree that will bless you with a three month-long crop of exellent eating quality fruit. No, I'm not affiliated with Zill's :)

murahilin, the speaker March 9th is Noris Ledesma, the curator of Tropical Fruit, Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden and the topic is propagating tropical fruits from 7:30-9pm at the Museum of Science, Miami Fl.

It would probably have to be special ordered from Zill's by a nursery in your area . Where are you located?

If your located in Broward area you can have Spykes in Davie special order one from Zill. I got my Dot Mango tree last year at the Broward Rare Fruit Council spring tree sale.

Many thanks for the replies.

I called Excalibur today and they seem to have the largest stock of Dot mangos, maybe due to their close proximity to Zill's. I will be picking one up soon on my way down from a surf trip to Sebastian Inlet.

Harry, I live in SW Miami-Dade. Your guanabana tree is gorgeous btw. Is it multiple seedlings in one hole?

Thanks for sharing and hopefully I will get to meet some of you at the next RFCI meeting March 9th.

I am in West Hollywood. I made the hike up to Excalibur. Dont miss the exit or you will end up in Jupiter.

I got my Dot from Spykes grove on Griffin rd east of University, they order Zills trees

You have to miss quite a few exits to end up in Jupiter.

guajiro,
I am not sure how many of the members here to go to the Miami RFC meetings. Do you know who the speaker will be this month?
I don't think Excalibur buy any of its 3 gallon dots from Zills but instead propagates them all themselves.

you dont have to only trust Harry, you can rest on Frank Smathers opine as well. He was a well known mango enthusiast here who donated his 32 acre orchard to the University of Miami. If it were not for him Dot may have very well fell into obscurity
