Comments (8)i read where they specifically stated that but its still pretty ambiguos. i always thought DNA had some level of certainty even in this case where its 1 generation apart. in their conclusion they stated the estimated parent was Julie. im not sure why a Scientific technical paper would say that after admitting they did not test Sophie Fry unless they reasonably eliminated it through confirming Julie as the parent....See MoreMangoes of Hawaii
Comments (7)i want to bump this because i noticed Trop topicals has a good St Maui mango picture with a vague description Mangifera indica - St Maui Mango Rare variety, St. Maui mango is from Hawaii, referred to as "pacific/indo-chinese". Rich flavor, sweet and juicy; fiberless. The variety is well adapted to humid climate....See MoreZill's Mangos Whoo hoo!
Comments (65)The majority of folks who buy a mango tree at HD and Lowes buy based on the name they've heard the most, which will often be haden, tommy atkins, valencia pride, etc. By analogy, let's say you are in a car lot and there are 2 cars for you to buy. One is called 'Ford' and the other is called 'Super Fantastic Car'. Well, if you're not all that research savvy, you'll go for the 'Ford' because you've never even heard of the brand 'Super Fantastic Car'. Even though 'Super Fantastic Car' brand is in fact superior, you're unwilling to try your luck. So you hedge your bets and go with the Ford. Similarly, despite the myriad issues with ficus hedges and the existence of many superior hedging plants, the vast majority of homeowners planted ficus, just because it was what they had heard of or seen. Folks fall back onto the 'default' brand/name that they've heard or seen the most. That's why commercials are so successful - they know that if they can pound that name into your brain well enough, you'll choose their brand simply because it's 'recognized'. Nurseries like Home Depot don't want to risk their luck selling unknown trees which will never get purchased (due to the name recognition issue discussed above). Their goal is to push merchandise as quickly as possible, not to have a tree sitting around for 8 months that no one buys. Some Home Depot / Lowes stores have buyers that are a bit more 'edgy' and will purchase those types of trees for the garden department, but it's fairly rare. Up until a couple of years ago, you could hardly even find a glenn mango in HD. It's tempting to generalize based upon our small, select group of 'rare fruiters' (the folks that post on this list and our circles of friends). However, we're a very, very small portion of the total mango purchasing public. That's why Haden/TA represents such a large portion of mango tree sales, despite the fact that superior cultivars have been available for many decades. Jeff...See Morejeffhagen
