Comments (62)Maureen: I have quite a few people that think that Van Dyke is one of the best mangoes around. I bought it because the Fairchild Mango Bible (I call it), rated its flavor Good to Excellent. I had to aquire (I was physically forced) each and every mango that attained the excellent evaluation by them....and, of course, having accomplished that, I moved on to other mango varieties that have been highly rated by people I have respected in the mango world. Then after that I bought mangoes that someone I encountered, whether they were mango experts or not, thought was the best mango in the world. The thinking was that, at least for selling purposes, I would always have a buyer if there was someone out there that just had to have that mango. And, as I said, I do have regular Van Dyke customers. The tree is very fruitful and the fruit is very colorful. The flavor can range from good to excellent as Fairchild indicated. Is it in my top tier of mangoes.....no, but its no slouch either.....at least not in the best of years....especialy if you like a little undertone of resinous twang in your mango. It is not a dwarf tree and would not be a great selection for pot culture. So, would I buy it again and plant it out? Yes, I would. Is it right for your circumstances? Maybe not.

Comments (9)I am not having any better luck with the Sweetheart either. I might have 10 fruit on the whole tree if I am lucky. I may replace it with a Brewster just so I will at least get a decent amount of fruit every year. Do you think Brewster is you most reliable producer? Ideally, I'd like to find something reliable like the brewster but with a little better taste. Glad to see the Pomegranate looks to have rooted. I can bring you more if you want any other varieties when I come down this summer. I have way too many to keep. I think I got 100% of the cuttings to root successfully. Those mangosteen look great. Much better than I was ever able to get seedlings to grow....See MoreDaily Support, Monday 11/2 to Sunday 11/8/09
Comments (33)Good afternoon, y'all! I've been up and out since 9 this morning for our sorority. A friend and I drove over to Kemah/beach area to the Hilton where our sorority was having an Arts & Crafts day and board meetings. We just went to sell ESA aprons that one member made. We sold a lot of them, and we shopped a LOT! Every chapter had at least one table and sold handmade items from small bags of snacks to fruit cakes, quilts, painted items and lots of Christmas gift items. I bought decorated gift baskets to hold my homemade fudge for neighbor gifts this year, goodies to include in my WV friend's Christmas box, and soup mixes, jellies, pickles, and chili mixes to include in stockings. One chapter was selling paperback and hardcover mysteries, and I really stocked up there! Once I read everything, I'll donate the books for our community Expo in January where we (ESA) have a table and pass out literature about St. Jude hospital and try to earn $$$ to send to them. We sell the books for 50 cents each, and last year we were able to mail St. Jude a check for $33.50! Viki and I stopped on the way to the event at a Tuesday Morning store and had a blast mostly just lookingm too. Once I rest a bit, I have to fix my corn casserole to take for the covered-dish luncheon at church tomorrow. I love that stuff, but it's terribly fattening, so I'll just make a very small dish of it for us and the rest for tomorrow. Tikanis, I like how you emphasized 'considering'! Happy puttering to you! Raeanne, you get to attend some neat sounding parties. Things aren't quite that upscale around here, but that's alright. It is what it is, right? Suzanne, that video was a hoot! Thanks for posting it. Glad you finally spotted your fox! The dr. told hubby to continue eating red meat because his hemoglobin count has dropped some, so we're having grilled steak and baked sweet potato (me) and red potatoes (hubby) and salad for dinner. I'm already hungry as lunch at the event wasn't all that exciting or filling. Once he gets that grilled fired up, I'll be ready to eat! Wishing everyone a relaxing Saturday evening!...See Moretropicalgrower89
