I am ordering a Canary Island Very Cold Hardy Gomera 1 Mango Tree.
The Only place i was able to find it , is in a Canary Island nursery.

Just e-mailed them to see how much is the total cost for the tree .
Acording to them its the most cold hardy Mango.

I have also contacted my Brother-Inlay in spain to see if he can send me some Gomera 1 Mango Seeds .

My Brother-Inlaw Lives In Spain , I am trying to maybe have him send me 10 Gomera Mango seeds to see how they propagate here in NE Florida ..

This Is What The Canary Island Nursery Stated About Delivery To USA.

Dear Ed,

Our minimum order is set at 50 eur. So you could buy two plants, being the price €27.20. A rough quotation would be so:

54,40 € Two Mangifera Gomera-1
10,70 € DUA-SAD Custom Document
38,55 € Shipping cost for two plants, bare rooted in moist sphagnum would weigh about 2 kg.

We will add a free phytosanitary certificate.

We need you to send us an APHIS import permit number, before we ship the parcel, or if you don't have one, you should obtain an APHIS permit. Please read more here: APHIS Permit for the customers in the USA.



Can Any One Calculate the exact amount In USD?
And what is a APHIS import permit number, & where do i get one.

Thank You,,

This must be a rare Mango cause the Folks at Fairchild Botanical Gardens just e-mailed me asking for its scientific name & asked me what country it is from.

And they are the Mango Experts ..

Hi! I have one Gomera mango tree on the ground for two years. Didn't fruit yet but i'm shure it will next year. Never protect her because she never nead it. She experience our cold winter very well with min temp of -3C. I try Osteen and Kent mango trees but both die in winter, even covering them. On my oppinion it's a must to have on cold locations like mine. I think Glenn mango it's very cold hardy too and i didn't decide to buy it or not. I'm thinking to graft some varieties later to this gomera tree. I will post some pics later. :08:

You're in USDA zone 9b. The cultivars "Valencia Pride" and "Timotayo" are readily available here in the U.S., perform very well in your zone, and have better tasting fruit than Gomera 1.

Ok, now i will give up from Glenn to choose Maha Chanook. So in principle it will be Valencia Pride, Maha Chanook, Mallika, Alphonso and Osteen. My dout now is between Mallika and Nam Doc Mai... or should i choose some other variety?

HMelendez
12-11-2016, 04:59 PM
Malika and Nam Doc Mai are excellent mango varieties, but I would choose Nam Doc Mai!....Just to add versatility (Asian mango origin) to your collection!....


Very good mango collection: Mahachanok, Valencia Pride, Alphonso, Nam Doc Mai, Osteen!......

Thank's a lot! I will consider your advice. Now it's Valencia Pride, Osteen, Alphonso, Maha Chanok and Nam Doc Mai 4. By the way can you help me ordering them on cold hardiness to plant them on the best places? Thank's a lot for your help!

Luis,


List of Mango varieties in order by cold hardiness (my personal opinion). As reference, starting in # 1 as the best cold hardy mango variety:

1) Alphonso
2) Malika
3) Osteen
4) Valencia Pride
5) Maha Chanok


Because of your location, I changed my mind on The Naim Doc Mai 4......I choose Malika instead of Naim Doc Mai 4.....Malika is a more cold hardy mango variety than Nam Doc Mai 4.....Hopefully it helps!.....

Hello MMelendez! I just buy Maha Chanok, Valencia Pride, Nam Doc Mai 4 and Osteen. Now i just have some questions on Alphonso, because i read that it gives goos mangos only in India... i read very good reports about Edward mango. What do you think regarding cold hardiness? The only problem seams to be the poor production... do you know it? Thank you very much!

Hi Luis!

I'm sorry for my late reply!....I will still choose/select Alphonso over Edward!......Alphonso mango originated in northern India so it should be very cold hardy mango variety!....Edward mango originated in South Florida!....A very tasty mango but poor production!....I have never tasted either one yet!....Hopefully it helps!

That is a very good idea!...Let them get bigger so when it is ready to trans-plant them to the ground, they should be stronger!....That way they should get establish quicker and hold the weather better!...
