BTW we have one Avocado fruit too!
Germination will be the easy part, doing everything to protect it in winter the difficult one.
Mangoes are Kalabrian's favorite specialty, maybe you should PM him, he was full of information on this topic (and whatever he says, just believe that you can grow it and you will be able to!)

If you are growing from a seed the chances of getting a Mango like the one you ate is slim.
Nature can be a real trickster, the only way to get what you want is to buy a grafted tree.
If you are going to grow one in a pot, try Rosigold or Cogshall.

The black mold and the scale are related. Malathion is your best bet to eliminate the scale and the mold should vanish later.
It it is a small tree you can wash the leaves after the pest are gone.
Sometimes ants will cultivate the scale in a symbiotic relationship.
Now that I have spouted my limited knowledge, I may be wrong, but that is my best guess.
I usually don't like chemical warfare but in some cases it is necessary.
Squam would be a good one for this.

Emily - the insects in the top pictures are scale insects, and the scales protect them. So if your tree is smallish, wipe the scale insects off the leaves and stems with kitchen paper soaked in malathion - this will also clear the black mould and make the tree look better. The places you can't reach will be helped by spraying which will clear the other insects which might be aphids. Then regular spraying will keep them under control.

We had hoped to have a spray-free garden, but have to spray the lemons regularly against aphids and the orchids against thrips, and the cashew tree which is too large to spray, is covered in biting ants farming the aphids. Grrr!

Good luck and persevere - you are going to win!

How are everyone's trees doing?

I have recently grafted some new mango trees....Fairchild, Madame Francis (Haitian mango), Duncan, Florigon, Haden, Edward, Zill, and Kent.

You can find articles on these varieties and others if you are interested. Click here and scroll down to the Florida section (I wrote most of these )

List of mango cultivars - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

About 4 more graftable rootstocks left....any suggestions?

I don't have any more room. But the Duncan or Florigon would be my pick.
If you need some bud wood I have Nam doc mia, Cogshall, Malika, Rosigold and Carrie.

Thumbs up Re: Mangos

Here's an "Ataulfo" mango pit I got to germinate a little while ago...





Currently working on sprouting a few others. I'll show more shots later...

I just sprouted a mango. It's a Thai honey mango or Chok anan. Prob won't keep it though, i am renting and I only want to plant things that can be kept in a big pot or can be dug up if we move. Sure is growing like crazy though.

Very rarely are they true to seed. Grafted mangoes are the only sure way to get what you want.

Scott, that is very true of Indian descended monoembryonic cultivars.

However, most indochinese/southeast asian mangos are polyembryonic and come true to seed for the most part. Chok Anon is one of those....so is the "Champagne" mango (whose 'real' name is 'Ataulfo mango').

The issue with seedling trees is that they have to go through the juvenile stage and may take up to 8 years to fruit. If you're willing to wait though they will eventually produce.

At my age I wonder if I'll be around for my bananas to ripen.
But that is neat to know about the monoembryonic and polyembryonic.
I had heard to can open up the seed and find out if they are mono or poly.
But like you said a grafted tree is better.
My Carrie's are about to ripen, I can't wait!

Default Re: Mangos

Amber and Hollyberry, nice looking mango seedings you have there! Mangos germinate easily and grow rapidly up until 1 foot, then growth slows down.

I germinated well over 15 mangos last summer, and only one made it through the winter, which I planted this spring. It's struggling in the heat, but growing nicely. BTW, Manila (Ataulfo) mangos are mostly polyembryonic, which grow and produce fruit related to that of its parent.
