Re: Misi Luki oor Ice Cream?
Thanks Gabe!
I knew you could settle this.
I have been pulling pups off like crazy, pups that are 4 feet tall.
Don't Misi Luki have a larger or longer bunch of fruit?

Re: Mangos
Please remember that nature can be a real trickster when growing Mangoes.

Re: Mangos
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.
