Where can I buy a Maha Chanook?
Comments (9)Ya Mickey says he will have more in August but they will only be 1-2 feet tall. That is a very small tree and I don't want to wait 4 months. I did try Frankies. They said they don't ship to California. They also said that the tree doesn't fruit well for them in Hawaii so they don't graft many. Strange that they would fruit well in Florida but not in Hawaii. I hope they fruit well in California! Thanks for the help. Anyone else have any ideas? I'm going to call Pine Island tomorrow and see if they have any. But after that I'm stumped. Anyone else mail order Mangos? Bill...See MoreMaha Chanook update
Comments (42)Could it just be slight surface cracking? If you look at my pics from yesterday, you can faintly see the same cracks.. I was worried about wrapping it and getting moisture inside the wrap causing rot, not to mention worsening the strangulation that you see above the union?...See MoreExcalibur's Maha Chanook Mango - mature fruit
Comments (5)Agree with Nancy - that is large - bigger than my fruit. Actually my Maha seems even more elongated and pointyish at the ends...... I guess my other comment would be, 'Why would someone bring a fruit BACK to the place they bought their plant from? Why wouldn't they eat it themselves???" Or maybe I'm missing something..... :) MangoD...See MoreMaha Chanook and Friends.....Ready for Evening Fruit Tasting
Comments (33)I'm probably a bit late here ;-) but just a quick comment to the grafting discussion. The two big enemies of mango grafts in my experience are: not leaving leaves on the rootstock and fungal/bacterial infections. Cleft grafts are fairly successful on mangoes (50% range?) if you make sure to graft a bit high, leaving a few leaves on the root stock. The only way (that I'm aware of) to achieve decent success with cleft grafts while grafting just above the soil line is to graft when the stock is only a couple of weeks old (still red). That way the energy to push the scion comes from the seed (not photosynthesis). At least one commercial nursery in our area practices that technique successfully. T-budding is probably the best method when performed by a skilled grafter. Several commercial growers here achieve well over 90% success with t-budding techniques on the mango....See Morebsbullie
