| I recently cleared out the greenhouse for the season and have a few things that will not be able to fit after this season. I have a big Philippine mango (5'-6'), a Hak ip lychee (about 4'), a Emperor lychee (about 4'), and a Miracle fruit tree (about 2 feet and producing berries). All are too big to be shipped except maybe the miracle fruit. Just let me know what you have. I am in central FL but I'll be making a trip down to South FL this summer. |

| Ill take the Miracle fruit off your hands, I think mine is toast. Let me know what you want. If you trade for things wont your greenhouse be just as full :) |
|
| Yea, I am kind of looking to get rid of some things that are taking up a lot of space that I either have duplicates of or don't like the fruit of to make room for something that I might like better. I don't really have anything in mind. Just looking for something interesting that I don't already have. Let me know what you have available. |

| I have a Cogshall mango in a 25 gallon pot . It is in OK condition, last season it produced 5 fruit to maturity. This year no flowers, as I did not really give it very much care. I sort of lost interest in growing a potted plant, and I already have a Cogshall in the ground. If you are interested, I will trade it for your Hak ip .. |

| It's a shame you're all the way in FL or I would definitely be interested! Especially your mango... :) |
|
| ME too I second that. I would take the Phillipine off your hands. have you had any fruit from it? I thought I remember someone saying that the Phillipine is similiar in taste to the Atualfo. If there is any truth to that, I would be on a search for the Phillipine. Ah, on second thought maybe it would be better for me not to know!! Hey Sleep, Thanks for your input. I really would like to know since I have become crazed about growing mango trees in pots! Andrew |

| while Ataulfo and Philippine are similar, they are not identical like Ataulfo/manilla/champagne may be |
|
| Andrew, I would guess that if taken care of well, the Cogshall would have produced more. I am very much a novice with potted plants, and I pay way more attention to my in ground trees. I also bought a 15 gallon Pickering last year from pine Island. I was amazed at how it had 5 large manogo's on it at the nursery, while it's trunk was only about as thick as my thumb. Fruit was very good. I planted it in the fall, and this year it did not flower. But I think that it would be a real winner for a potted mango. |

| jsvand5, would you be interested in a Kwai muk tree for your emperor lychee? T-
|
|
| I may be interested in the kwai muk. What is the size on it? does it produce good fruit? The emperor is flowering for me now. 3rd season in a row it has fruited for me. I'll try to take a pic for you. Do you have a pic of you kwai muk? |
|
Cogshall this morning  |
|
| wow, I was not expecting to see such a large tree. I think that may be too tall for what I need. Thanks for the offer though. |

| Def a super nice tree. What's the issue with it, a lack of room in your collection/porch space? :) |
|
| jsvand5 I'll get you a pix tomorrow. I haven't tried the fruit yet. It's an attractive tree though and not always available from what I've read. Tree is about 4' tall. |
|
| That Cogshall could use some pruning. |
|
| jsvand5, my camera is acting up so I'll take a photo with my phone and email it you in the morning. |
