I'm sort of afraid that digging it out would kill the tree. I tried to transplant a lemon tree to make room for an Orinoco, and I'm pretty sure it's dead now.

the same thoughts exactly ran thru me when I saw this ad. At first I thought it was a typo of zero in the headline, but the ad in fact it says 5000 in the description. WOW. That's a lot of $$$.

WOW! Thats all I got to say about that ... Not meaning any disrespect to the seller.. But no one I know would ever entertain the idea of moving something that BIG especially with winter in the forecast.. In the spring it might survive a transplant (might)
If that were me I would have air layered every branch on the tree that was a proper size then had perhaps 25 to 35 trees to sell as clones of the original. Perhaps at 30 to 35 dollars each.. But then before some one pays a lot for any Mango it has to be something special.. I can’t ID that Mango from those two fruit pictures. I don’t think its anything special.. Just another old Mango tree..
It looks like it could use some:drum: :weightliftingnaner: Asomite :weightliftingnaner::ha::ha::ha:
