Nice looking tree. I have been hearing lots of nice stuff about plant o gram. Where is he located? He might be pretty close to me if he is an hour from you.

Very nice healthy looking mango tree. Where is plantogram located, I'm always looking out for good places to get trees from.

He's on the west side of Orlando (about 10-15 minutes west of the airport). The exact address is in my Tom Tom in my wife's car at the moment.

Very Nice mango tree Bluepalm!

Swrancher,
I am not sure if he's started growing his own trees yet but last time I met him he was buying all his trees from the nurseries down south. Pine island, Excalibur, etc.

Nice looking tree! And Dot is supposed to be an excellent mango so a nice choice as well.

Thanks everyone. I'm planting the Dot at my mom's house. I have one in my yard, but after this winter's cold, I don't have the greatest confidence that it will survive to bear for many seasons. It is still about 9' tall though. My mom lives south of me on a barrier island and mango trees LOVE it there.
The Dot is an excellent mango, but has a strong taste. Some mangos' "strength in taste" is like drinking fruit punch. The Dot is sort of like putting the condensed sugar mix right on your tongue...that's the only way I can describe the strong flavor. I have a feeling the Alphonso might be the same way (I'll know this year...my dad's tree has about 10 on it). The Dot is my dad's 2nd favorite after the Edward. I'm happy the tree is so big and I can't wait to get it in the ground!

Alternatives for tropicals in south Brevard, Atree4me has mangos for $30, and Palm Island for around $27. Small, 3 gallon plants.

Very nice looking Dot Mango tree you have. Please remember to remove the stake for faster trunk and root development.
Good luck, Joe.

Thanks for sharing!

show us some updated photos =)

Well the Dot mango is a long story. I planted it in my mom's yard where her sprinkler system made short work of the tree in no time...I mean a SICK tree; leaves dropping off, the limbs turning yellow, what leaves remained were half torched, etc. There were even some areas of the trunk that were weeping sap. The speed at which the tree declined was very fast. So, I dug up the tree, re-potted it and took it to my dad's house (mango paradise...they grow so fast there and fruit well). So, after barely hanging on and getting doses of fresh tap water, the tree is slowing recovering. I saw it today and it had a new growth flush on it. Soon enough it will be large and robust. Then I'll post some pics!

So tap water is better than well water?
