Comments (2)The Manila mango trees perform best in warm climates. Grow Manila mango trees in full sun sites with nutrient-rich, well-draining soil. Work 3 inches loam, 2 inches peat moss, 2 inches leaf mold and 1 inch perlite into the soil to a depth of 10 to 12 inches to improve its nutrition, aeration and drainage. Plant your Manila mango tree at the same depth it grew in its nursery container. Provide Manila mango trees with ample moisture during the spring and summer months to ensure the production of healthy fruit. Water your Manila mango trees every seven to 10 days to maintain evenly moist soil; apply up to 2 inches of water each time you irrigate....See MoreMy Manila mango tree
Comments (24)LittleLuey: The customer service is, indeed, impressive. Unfortunately, while the CEO is apparently well versed in customer service and I am sure is advising you based upon his understanding......a seedling can never be 100% guaranteed to produce as he describes. The percentage is probably pretty high that he will be right....but there is always the chance that a seedling is a sexual reproduction and not the clone of the parent tree. Now if the tree was grown from tissue culture...that would be different. The use of the word "seedling" means just what it says.....it comes from a seed. No variety that I know of produces 100% cloned seedlings. But, maybe this is the one that does. I would be interested to see how many of these they have sold and what the results have been to see if a follow up would confirm his desciption with 100% certainty. Best of luck with the tree. Remember, even if it is not the exact clone, there is the chance that it could be as good or better than the parent. If it is not a clone, it is more likely to be not as good as the parent.....but that is the gamble you take. Harry...See MoreManila Mango and Tropical Pink Guava. Where to plant?
Comments (2)I had a mexican creme guava that lasted 2 winters (in New Orleans 9B) But this last winter was unusually cold. it got down to 25F for 2 nights in a row and that killed it. at least i think its dead. it lost every leaf, and no new growth yet. I dont know much about mango's. i think they are a little hardier, at least when mature. I beleive Mango's need full sun, and guava do better in full sun, but can handle part shade. im not an expert on either though, the link may help with your guava... Here is a link that might be useful: gardenweb Guava...See MoreManila Mango Cut Open 080411
Comments (7)Yes Harry, we did go round and round on this, and I think we came up with there is just a certain amount of differential with this mango, since it is a seedling.... Thanks Tom. Ethan - I will def. keep an eye on next years harvest as this forum keeps these things on the front burner. And SoCal - you are so observant - yes had to fight that knife over the seed! But no, I'm chicken when it comes to chili pepper on mangos!!!!! It will take someone else to offer it up to me, to get me to go there... Two more mangos fell off today.....yep, the forecast for tomorrow and the next day and the day after that is cloudy with a chance of mangos!!!! mangodog...See Moreinvar69
