Mangos

[Alex_N]

If you can grow mangos, you can grow avocados, and probably cherimoyas. All three go great together.

For many years there was this Chinese restaurant down in Fort Collins CO that really focussed on ripe mangos in their entrées, and I always would order Szechwan chicken or shrimp with mango - it was so damn tasty. They also served up a hot and sour soup that was so flavorful. About three or four years ago the owner called it quits, after decades of service to the public. I really miss that place.

That place was BYO friendly too.

Very cool, Alan. I’m envious of the fruit that can be grown in tropical climates. The fruit we can successfully grow with high quality is somewhat limited here in the Western Washington climate, outside of some very good berries. I do love a good mango.

Few things are finer than a slice of perfectly ripe Mango and a drizzle of good hot sauce! But i am a simple man I’m looking at you Kenny

at Hollywood Farmers’ Market on Sunday’s, Wong Farms now selling Valencia mangoes, incredibly creamy and not at all fibrous. Short window. And they sold me a tree now happily planted, about 6 feet high and 5 years old, due to produce next year.

I surely miss the boat in what you are telling me.

They went to gather mangoes in the jungle, or that’s my recollection.
Homegrown mangos should be great, but I think you tree has a way to go.

yes but sitting around waiting for Alfonso mangos was getting me nowhere. At least this will be progress. I figure 3-4 more years. Somebody will get them . . . my next tree supposedly will bear fruit next year.

Man I love their Valencia mangos, the rest of the stuff they do seed/meat ratio is not good for the price. Just wild thinking about eating a mango for $7-10 each in one sitting. And due to how creamy they are, they dont’ hold well in the fridge after cutting.

yeah, I bought 15 of them Sunday. People are blown away when they taste one. Been eating one a day myself. And my tree will have them next year!

I can’t grow mangoes in Raleigh, but I wonder if this is going to be like figs here, where all of the sudden you will have buckets of mangoes you have to give away at the office.
