OMGOSH, so many new babies!!! :heart_eyes: :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: I was in the midst of deciding between a Honey Kiss, Fruit Punch, and Sweet Tart. Seemed like Fruit Punch has everything I’m looking for in a mango but I haven’t tasted that variety before. :thinking: The Orange Sherbet, Lemon Zest, and Glenn I have are all varieties I’ve tasted. Super lucky you got to go to Julie’s Tropical Acres - I saw a tour of it when Orlando Gardener did a video of his visit. I haven’t heard of those varieties of avocados before, I’ll have to look those up. Well, congrats on your new finds! :two_hearts:

I literally grow all my trees in pots whether they’re a dwarfing variety or not, lol. :sweat_smile: :two_hearts:

Nice!

I lost my in ground mangoes in the unusually strong frost last year and my sister in law lost the one I got her. Only 1 roots system below the graft remained alive from all of them as they weren’t full grown. I got some mangoes to replace from Julie’s Tropical Acres Nursery. It’s so wonderful to find a great nursery and restraining myself was hard lol.

If you go there Kelly Park is very close and makes a nice day trip alone or with family/friends.

Two of the mangoes I got are a pickering, and a cogshall ( another dwarf I got as replacement for sister in law, more peachy flavor). I’m going to try to graft branches from each on to the other.

I sure wish I lived closer to Julie’s. It would be nice to have access to the variety of mango trees that she carries. However, now I have a reason to go to the orlando area.
