BestDarnDay - I think I got mine from Mickey at Plant-O-Gram...last fall......

I would stay in touch with Mickey. Maybe he will get more in? I assume prime planting time in FL is over or almost over as they are all ready getting pretty hot.

You could try Frankies in Hawaii. I got mine there but just so you know I ended up paying $135 but that's becauseI live in NY. If you live on the west coast shipping would be much lower.

I forgot to mention that last I knew, they only graft to order for that particular variety. I was told by them that this particular variety doesn't do well for them there so they really don't sell to many.

Ya Mickey says he will have more in August but they will only be 1-2 feet tall. That is a very small tree and I don't want to wait 4 months.

I did try Frankies. They said they don't ship to California. They also said that the tree doesn't fruit well for them in Hawaii so they don't graft many. Strange that they would fruit well in Florida but not in Hawaii. I hope they fruit well in California!

Thanks for the help. Anyone else have any ideas? I'm going to call Pine Island tomorrow and see if they have any. But after that I'm stumped. Anyone else mail order Mangos?

Bill

I am in Phx and placing my order in Sept if anyone wants to piggyback on my order and pick them up here, cheaper that way. Ill be getting Pine Island and Excaliber trees.

Thanks for the offer. I talked Mickey at POG into shipping me a 7 gallon Maha Chinook. It will be here Thursday. I have another post that covers my order. I will let people know what kind of shape the trees are in when I receive them.

Bill

Ah, Bill, you got lucky! I tell you Mickey finds good stuff - did he send you a picture of it? He used to do that....

anyway, take lots of pics for when your order arrives...

Ya, he did take photos of it. He said he might have to prune part off to make it fit in the box. But the trunk looks nice and thick. It is larger than most of his 3 gallons but not by much.

Bill

wow, so how much is the shipping for a 7 gallon?

Shipping on the 7 gallon was $80! Not cheap, but in California we don't really have a lot of options. I could have waited for a small 3 gallon. But by the time I would have had that tree this 7 gallon will be 6-7 feet tall.

BTW the tree is here and pics are here
