Nice! I gotta make a trip out there. How is the productivity compared to Okrung, Tebow and others that Pine Island rates as excellent producers?

Tom

Good to see a state-side source. Is Excalibur going to start propagating them? I might have to ad it to my growing list of things to pick up while down there.

Any idea about the dozens of one-gallon grafted durians he has in the back?

I want one of those 25 gals... Just don't know if I need another mango, and I don't really have room for another tree...

Really tempting though..

Murahilin,

Is that one of those mangoes that ripen green and then still taste sweet? LOL

Jsvand,
They should be grafting a lot this summer. I saw a few thousand mangos in buckets waiting to be used for rootstock so I'm guessing they will be grafting a ton of different mangos this summer.

pepperot,
I am not sure how the productivity compares. Harry should be able to answer that question though.

fruitguy,
Most of the durians died. I think only like 3 or 4 lived and those were not from a named tree. I think the roostocks were too old. I lost my keys for nothing.

sleep,
I think you should go for it. lol

pj,
Haha. I think you're right.

that mahachanook mango looks like the Ataulfo I bought last christmans.

Thanks for this good info Murahilin. It was nice to see you again today at Excalibur.

I got a large 3 gal Maha Chanook mango. They have about 10-15 trees in that container size. For what's supposed to be a smaller sized cultivar I was kind of surprised at how long and lanky the 3 gallon size trees are.

...and I'm from California, doing the slow phyto-cert. burn.....

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.......MahamangoSnarl

mangodog...are you doing an order on through Excalibur? like everyone else, i'm very much interested and would split s&h with you. LMK

Tim

forgot to ask the more important question...
Do they do mail order?

Tim

Unfortunately for all of us...Excalibur will not ship.

SWrancher,
No problem. It was nice seeing you too. I think the long and lanky problem is because the mahachanooks were pretty cramped until recently. I've seen the same thing happen with lots of the mango trees that aren't given adequate space. By the way, your car is pretty cool.

Jay,
Must suck not being able to just stop by the nursery anytime to pick up new tropical fruit trees.

So how can we Socal guys get this tree if they do not ship?

Im planning on making a tree run to Florida in late Oct. If you get a list together by then we can work something out. Don Phoenix

...it's a great idea Phxplantaddist, but we still have the AZ/CA border problem for us Californians....I've snuck stuff over before but get that gut feeling the day will come when my non-challance to the guard will trigger a diff. wave of his hand.....
