When the state came to my home around 2005 to stump grind out my dads Tangerine trees he started from seed he told them to go kick rocks and get off his property, twice. On the Third arrival my father wasn't home and so they took the liberty to do it- we joined the class action lawsuit about it and only about a year and a half ago did we receive the check for a couple grand. Gotta love it when the Gov makes a decision and turns out to be another massive fuckup, but yet so many people just wholeheartedly follow them word for word.
Good backyard grower with more experience than normal but take some of his perspective with a grain of salt. He has excellent ornamental and experience with a broad range of species and hobbyist production, but not commercial production, farming. A farmer would disagree with his comments on the spacing of his huge mango trees planted 10ft apart and overlapping. Not good for disease, quality, uniformity of ripening, lodging, harvestability, shading others.
At the end of the day, you do you, just a heads up.
My neighbor just cut three of my mango trees, 1 feet over my line in my property. Some people hate trees doesn’t matter what they give us in fruit and in oxygen and people just don’t like trees sad quite frankly it’s a disgrace.
Met Larry a couple months back he gave me a sample of his amazing mangoes – amazing collection of rare trees – he has a wealth of knowledge on fruit trees – thanks for the tour –
Wonderful tour! Would spraying with copper sulfate help the bacterial black spot?
I don’t think tha t is quite ripe yet.
He needs to trim that 10 year jaboticaba or it will take forever to fruit.
Thank you Paul fruitful trees I visited Zain world and I purchased multiple fruit trees the mamee apple tree the fifteen gallon a Julie mango tree the Miami soursop tree the star apple tree it had flowers on it I purchased two and the sweet tamarind tree and I was very impressed with Zain trees because they are healthy looking and prices not bad thank you Paul for the great job you do with your videos in this way people know where to buy their fruit trees
this guy makes a big deal of the bacterial black spot. it doesn;t affect the flavor. I guess to sell it ? educate the buyers then .
This guys yard is insane.
great video
His 1 year mangoes are about 5x the size of mine!!! My soil is pretty bad. Trying to make it better.
Awesome video as always mr. Paul! I’m in zone 9a and iv decided to start growing some tropical fruit trees. I have 3 acres of land in North East Florida and can’t wait to start having some trees. Im telling you this because I was wondering if you would be willing to give me your opinion on a good verierty of mango that would grow well in my hardyness Zone.
Hey Paul, what is the normal flavor of a mango, do they normally have the flavor of a sweet orange or orange sherbet? Most of the ones I'm getting in the grocery stores here taste like the pushups I use to get in one of the little mom and pop grocery stores here when I was growing up, they were in a tube about the size of a toilet paper roll and they were with the ice cream and they tasted like orange sherbet. Thanks, the video was interesting he does have a lot of trees.
Super interview
Great video and amazing varieties of trees. Was this video filmed this week because he seemed to have a large amount of mangoes still on the trees and I thought in august there would not be that many left. Thanks again Paul
Buttercream is one great mango
