Bangkok says... Elephant tusk is also not much available here, we have the newer variety of it which is called Chang-daeng aka red elephant or red-ivory. I grow a grafted one of it but it had many problems, now it's over all that and i don't dare to repot it. I have never eaten/seen it though. It produces huge long leaves, more then 50 cm long. | About the Author Bangkok Thailand 8th March 2016 4:00pm #UserID: 11594 Posts: 370 View All Bangkok's Edible Fruit Trees |
Jenny says... I have a Kwan and the fruit is really very nice when ripe, the colour is deceptive as it stays green. I have not tasted the Keow Savoy but I believe that it is best eaten unripe, DAF have this on their website: "When ripe Keow Savoey has a very soft, green-yellow, semi-translucent pulp with overripe flavours." | About the Author Jenny Brisbane 12th March 2016 4:54pm #UserID: 6352 Posts: 136 View All Jenny's Edible Fruit Trees |

Bangkok says... That's also how i started but because i don't have enough space i started making cocktailtree's with many variety's on 1 tree. My mangotree has more then 20 variety's now, mostly red coloured or rare mango's. About 7 of them have fruit now, others are opening flowerbuds or just growing/asleep. Chokanan always has fruit and flowers at the same time, year around. | About the Author Bangkok Thailand 16th March 2016 8:39pm #UserID: 11594 Posts: 370 View All Bangkok's Edible Fruit Trees |
Scott 10 says... Do you manage the fruit quantity per branch to limit the weight? I was thinking about this but heard that if you don't manage the quantity it can snap the branch off with the heavy weight of lots of fruit. Is the Chokanan similiar/same as Sam Rue Du? I'm growing SRD from seed and have one almost 12 months old. | About the Author Scott 10 Redlands 17th March 2016 12:57pm #UserID: 13199 Posts: 30 View All Scott 10's Edible Fruit Trees |
Bangkok says... I prune the vigorous scions more than the slower ones, that's all. The chokananbranche (is not the same as sam rue do) has a supportstick or it will droop all the time. But i even let it have fruit 2 months after grafting and it survived with one mango on it. To make cocktail mangotree's it would be best to graft the vigorous variety's on one rootstock together but you'll have to know which one grow fast/long. I just grafted all on the same tree. For some strange reason my tree won't have mango's on the topside, they always dry up. Maybe they get too much sun there? But grafted branches are pretty strong after 1-2 years growth. Also not all variety's flower after 1 year, some take (many) more years. | About the Author Bangkok Thailand 21st March 2016 5:55pm #UserID: 11594 Posts: 370 View All Bangkok's Edible Fruit Trees |
