Default Re: Mangos

Just joining the mango community with this "Gomera-1" cultivar. I got it from the Canary Islands, Spain and this cultivar is used there and also in mainland Spain as rootstock for mango trees.

The shop who sold it to me (canarius.com mangifera-cv-gomera-1 claims in their blog that this cultivar grows and fruits (!) in southern France Canarius Blog - Mango varieties. So I decided to try it out. I think I will keep it in a pot for another winter and put it to the ground in 2012. I think I'll plant it at our holiday house on Skiathos Island, because it rarely goes down below freezing there.
