denise1 says... Kesar and Benishan mangos from India were in the NZ shops middle of this winter. Only two shops I know of that had them. The seeds produced the most healthy and hardy seedlings I ever grew even though cold winter. Both shops were part of a chain group as they were too expensive for single shops to buy them as they were about $8 each. I let them sit in the shop until marked down, ripe and sweet. Next winter you could check your local importers. | About the Author denise1 auckland NZ 1st November 2014 7:23am #UserID: 6832 Posts: 688 View All denise1's Edible Fruit Trees |

VF says... Alphonso is around. I know Tropical Fruit World has had poor (almost nonexistent) fruit set with their mature tree, which they believe may be due to lack of heat. They have recently planted a couple more near their processing shed in hope that the radiated heat and general protection may give them better results. Brissie may give better results. Here's an article on National Mango Genebank and the varieties they had 8yrs ago (would be more now). http://www.stfc.org.au/mangoes-at-the-australian-national-mango-genebank It seems they do supply budwood, but it may be only available to commercial interests. It'd be worth contacting them if you're able to graft. | About the Author VF WONGAWALLAN,4210,QLD 1st November 2014 9:22pm #UserID: 6795 Posts: 736 View All VF's Edible Fruit Trees |

Brain says... 'Zill' is a Haden seedling selected in Lake Worth , Florida in 1940. The fruit are born in clusters and have a tendancy to ripen all at the same time. The flesh is firm, juicy, and has a very pleasant aroma. The flavor is sweet having just a hint of pineapple. http://toptropicals.com/html/toptropicals/articles/fruit/varieties_mango.htm | About the Author Brain Brisbane 21st November 2014 10:06pm #UserID: 6289 Posts: 638 View All Brain's Edible Fruit Trees |
