Mango - Florigon (Grafted)

Casper's Edible Fruits
Update: 4730 days 7hrs

Comments: - I had a Florigan Mango plant in my backyard about 6 years ago (which I pulled out in a fit of stupidity) - which was fruiting. I loved the sweet mangoes. This is the replacement plant. It flowered and set fruit (approx 6)  and was doing quite nicely. Unfortunately, my (beautiful) westie jumped on the tree whilst chasing some birds - that was the end of those mangoes as the whole branch broke. The plant has recovered well and am hoping for some fruits this year.

(Seedling) 5/10

Casper's Edible Fruits
Update: 4889 days 17hrs

Comments: - I originally purchased my Curry tree from Daleys in 2002 and planted it in the ground. The plant grew over 3 metres tall and provided very good shade!!. However, I recently renovated the backyard and the tree had to be cut down. I saved 6-8 seedlings in the last months - hence this current plant is a seedling from the original plant.
