Just when I thought I knew a lot about mangoes, this guy comes in and completely destroys my notion of being somewhat of an expert on mangoes 😲😂😂. Very informative video. From Texas.
thank you
Hope your son is ok and can continue to enjoy the literal fruits of dad’s labor. 🤗
He is! We are happy to report he's not allergic to mangos. Must have been something else. and lucky for him because as you can see he's surrounded by them.
@@SleepyLizard Lucky indeed!
@@maremacd he's been eating a lot of them too.
Awesome buddy 👍 thanks for sharing great job well done 👌✌️✅🥭🥭🥭🥭🥭🥭🥭🥭
His son is the literal fruits of dad’s labor. 🤗
Awesome to see father and son doing what they love to do together
He's a huge help with all the work we have here.
It’s been five years and I finally got one mango fruit. Thank you so much.
yes!
I had a Haitian Mango tree and it produced many mangoes, very sweet and great tasting. I wasn’t fond of the fiber but the taste was so good. My Neigbors always looked forward to getting some from me. Then Hurricane Irma came along and wiped out several of my mango trees including Haitian Mango. I had also the Nom Dac Mai Mango which is my favorite of them all. Top 1.
Irma clobbered us too. Haitian mango is so good...totally worth the fiber
I am growing avocados but will try mangoes soon. This is a great no-nonsense channel from a person who likes to share and is a good teacher.
good luck with the mangos
Growing mango you need to wait like 3 years to grow into a fruit
Dude, I've been gardening for years and I can't believe I didn't know this stuff. This channel is so great. It inspires me to become a teacher in my own field.
I just wish I had florida climate for tropical fruits and peppers. Northern CA we can grow a lot, mangoes and pineapples are hard.
Jeffrey, thank you for your encouraging words. yes I'm very grateful to live in a climate that makes growing the fruit I love so easy. Have you ever tried to do a pineapple indoor? It takes a long time but it might work.
Very informative, currently starting a nursery for mango and avocado and I really need this good quality of content. I really enjoy this type of agriculture involving fruit trees. I am viewing from the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago in the Caribbean.
Hello from Florida
The way you talk and explain everything is so amazing! You have a way to wrap people's attention so easily and that's so cool!!! I'm amazed... truly amazed. You would be an amazing teacher for kids these days... I would've loved to grow watching and listening to you teach all of these things. I know some stuff because my dad loves his banana and papaya "trees" so much that he plants them everywhere we move and provide a really fresh and cool environment to backyards. Hi, from Cancún, México!🥭
you just made my day
Thank you for highlighting our 🇭🇹 mango which is called “Fransik mango”😊 it truly is one of a kind!
so good and thank you for the pronunciation
I have an old mango tree that is no producing anything. Is it possible to graft it and get fruits from it after so long with no Profit ?
@@emmanuelnishaka4006 yes, that is called top working and you can prune back the tree then graft onto it.
I'm sure know this but mangoes contain the exact same chemical found in poison ivy and poison oak. It is mainly found in the sap that is on the mango skin when you pick a fresh one. Each year I get a horrible allergic reaction when I pick and clean a bunch of our Haitian mangoes. I try to be careful but it's easier said than done. It's possible that your son had the same thing going. I can usually eat them just fine but man if i get too much sap or skin whie eating my face and body gets swolen and itchy! Love your stuff!! Truly been an inspiration to me!
thank you Montana and you are exactly right. We discovered he's allergic to the sap not the fruit. He can eat them but not touch the sap. Discovered the same thing about my wife too when she helped me pick a few hundred lbs last week.
OMG. I love you man! You removed so much confusion from my mind. Thank you.
Glad I could be helpful and thank you for the comment.
One of the best gardening informational videos from the thousands I have seen on you tube very interesting and actually gave me answers about mango trees I have been asking for years
thank you. I appreciate the compliment.
Very helpful video, been trying to grow a mango tree myself but haven't had success yet. Quick pointer, Ataulfo mango is originally from Chiapas, México not California, named after his original owner Ataulfo Morales (Ataulfo had a mango tree in his backyard and an agricultural engineer asked for permission to create a graft with his variety and named it after him).
thanks for the history lesson
I always learn so much from this channel. I have planted at least 20 mango seeds over the years and I could only get two of them to sprout and I sort of got frustrated and gave up trying, but now that I am going to try again and with the right type of mango. I will keep my eye open to see if there any Haitian mangoes available. Cheers from Ottawa, Canada 🍁
Hi Gio, Wow, growing mangos in Canada. You sure do like a challenge don't you! thank you for the compliment.
@@SleepyLizard Just learning (a lot from you) and practicing for when I move to South America.
I love your videos regarding planning information!! Love to visit your farm.
send me a text and lemme know when you wanna come for a little tour. my contact info is in the "about" section of the RUclips channel
Thanks again for another great video 👍
I learned a lot today
Keep up the great work 👌
Thank you 🙏 ❤️👏👏👏
glad we can help
Enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing Tom, Nohe,and Tommy. 🙏😎🏖🏝
Glad you liked it Nancy.
Wow, very useful information from you about Polly and Mono etc that no one else has said before and as clear and easy to understand as you have explained. Much appreciated. Thanks very very much.
and I appreciate your thoughtful comment. thanks!
God bless you Tom. You're an amazing human being.
you just made my day, my week, and my year. Thank you.
I brought two mango seeds home from a Thailand vacation last year (the mangos were damn tasty there) and wondered why the seeds sprouted into each 3 or 4 plants. I am so happy now to know that they grow true to seed. Thank you for the video.
Much love from Germany
good luck growing your mangos
Thanks a lot for the lecture.
I have about 4 mango trees in my compound, but growing big.
I never new of all that you taught through this channel. Am going to try your method.
fantastic. Please let us know how it goes.
Thanks very much for this
You're welcome RB. I got some more mango content in the coming weeks.
Informative as charm man, really going to plant mango with a lot of confidence will wait for the fruit for 3 years with trust and happiness
Thanks a lot for the explanation
good luck with the mango
Love this and are so happy to hear the altafo mangoes are true to seed!! I love those so much!
Another way to check if your boy is allergic to mangoes, is to rub some mango on the inside of his wrist, and if he breaks out in hives, then you will know.
he's allergic to the sap but he can eat the flesh
SleepyLizard, I live in zone 9 and I wish I could grow mangoes, jackfruit, soursap etc, you are so blessed to live in Florida, you can grow any fruit that your heart desires, congratulations buddy!
yeah it's a great spot for growing tropical fruit
I live in Oklahoma where it gets below zero. Guess what? I grow citrus, avocado, banana, dragonfruit, figs. The secret? Pots! Bring them indoors in the winter under grow lights and wallah!
I'm in zone 9b, grow in pots,, bring in garage during winter
You are a true leader.
Thanks. I think you saved me a lot of time.
Do you have a favorite variety?
I'm new to your channel and absolutely❤ it. Thanks for educating me. I pray that the shaking leave you and am sending healing your way through 🙏🙏🙏
thank you, I appreciate it
Fabulously informative video!

thx Rimm
I'm so fond of mango's&Avo's
Tried to plant both did not work.
You guys are true farmers.
We have to buy these delicious fruit from the fruit &veg store.
Not cheap.
Thankyou need to try again when I go to the store hopefully there will be.
Thanks again
I hope you find some nice fruit.

Thank you!!
You are welcome.
Very informative, Madame Francis grows true to seed. I have one that produces big mangoes. Thanks for sharing
I think my son and I discovered that in one of our vids, not sure if it was this one. Such a delicious mango.
Very informative.
thank you
Excellent video! In Northern California growing mango from the seed is the way to go. Grafted varieties just suffer here.
I was not aware of that.
@@SleepyLizard I am told from someone in Central Valley that Manila works as the rootstock out here. So perhaps that is the issue with varieties grafted from Florida.
Cool to see you mentoring the next generation.
thank you, I couldn't run this place without him.
I like this content so thanks for it
thank you Dracarys
Thanks
no prob!
Tom your knowledge is extensive and I love teachings. Are you self taught ? 😊 Bill
I didn't go to school for this. I learned from other farmers and mostly from the guys I hire to do work
I have been watching this channel for quite some time now. I was surprised to see Haitian mango on this episode. The Haitian mango that you presented is call "Mango Fransik". It is one of the best mangoes in Haiti. Most Haitian mangoes are poly-embryonic and have fibers and they are all delicious mangoes that are unique only to Haiti; unless exported to other places.
they are among my favorite mangoes. so delicious
I've wasted too much time watching mango videos less informative. Thanks for this. 🥭💚
thank you
I have been watching tutorial videos for decades for a wide variety of topics from home diy, photography, outdoor sports, music performance, small engine and auto repair, cooking, on & on....
Your videos are, hands-down, the most enjoyable and thorough (best) I've seen. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Quick question; If I have a very young (
thank you for the encouragement. the grafted tree in the scenario you describe will produce in year 4. and yes I was aware and sad that we couldn't get Haitian mangos this season.
Hey Tommy, I watched a video on your farm by someone else, you are the guest star. You mentioned that you have a mango tree that doesn’t grow fruit, and it’s the first one you planted. Don’t take my word for it because I was 13 years old when I was into growing fruit trees. My neighbor was already retired, and I learned a lot from him. In fact, I started selling fruit when I was 8 years old, a very profitable little business near a bus stop in Matola Mozambique. He had a type of mango that, if you watered it, it wouldn’t grow and wouldn’t bare fruit. It only got water when it rained. Most of the trees had roots on the surface, I remember tripping on them, and the trees that we didn’t water, there was no roots to trip on. I remember that because that’s where I played most of the time. In fact, it’s the trees that gave us the most shade. I grew up there, next door, and I moved away when I was 13. I don’t know the reason why he told me not to water those trees. He also had 12 orange trees that he didn’t want them watered, and they were delicious. Now that I’m 60, I’m curious to know why were the best mango trees never watered. Maybe you have one there, the one that isn’t producing. Wouldn’t it be funny if there is such tree that needs no water to be healthy?
Tony, I think you're on to something because we definitely water avocado trees more frequently than mango and since this mango is amongst the avocados it gets more water than it should.
@@SleepyLizard … wouldn’t that be something?
Very cool I live in San Diego and just planted a couple atalufo seedlings 🤙
great! you should be getting fruit in a few years
Nice
🥭💪
Hey Tom, you mentioned that you’ve had shaky hands ever since that fire you experienced and you believe it may be anxiety related. I’m sorry that you had to go through that. Have you looked into somatic experiencing? Irene Lyon has been a great resource for me for understanding how trauma and survival stress get “trapped” in the body and what to do about it. She has a fantastic YT channel that I can highly recommend. All the best to you and thanks for making these videos!
I really appreciate your concern. Thank you so much. I've recently begun healing from that event and the shaking is slowing down.
Excellent video...! and Asian mango may be Langra or Mallika variety.....
it could be Malika yes.
This is so helpful. I have a very alien looking seed from a Alan Pur Banashem and I could not find anyrhing on google whether it is mono or poly. Thanks for sharing
let us know what the seed gives you
I grow mangos from seed here is Sth Australia, my mango of choice is Kensington also referred to as Bowen and Kensington Pride, Kensington is Australia's most popular mango and is Polyrmbryonic, I however do not grow the seeds to get fruit I use the seedlings as rootstock that I V graft known reliable great consistent varieties to so I know exactly what I will get and when.
The V graft is also known as the Wedge graft, get some mango seedling and start practicing the V graft.
sounds like you got quite a nice operation going!
Your channel is amazing, I have learned so much about mango's and my other favorite avocados. I live in Tampa and have a friend in Sarasota who has a huge mango tree that is about 20 years old. He gave me mangos and now I'm in love with them. He said it is the " Kent ", and I saved about 5 seed pods to plant. If I don't plant this year can they be planted next year ?
thank you for the inspiring comment
Wrap them in a wet paper towel and place them in plastic bag till they germinate. Once germinated move to a pot with potting soil. You can grow them out there until you’re prepared to plant. I have about 20 seeds germinating rn. The seeds will eventually rot inside the pod from my experience. @richardsmith4187
@@JF-iq3qk what is your favorite mango?
Awesome video, maybe Tommy is just allergic to the skin of mangoes. Could of been some was in that smoothie.
We think he must have come into contact with something else. Lucky for him because he LOVES mango. I appreciate your concern for him. thank you
Hi Tom. Very helpful videos to those who like to know more about mango plants . Thank you very much.
But I like to know from you is, will a mango tree produce both type of seeds, ie, mono & polio embryonic.
I don't know the answer to that question
I'm Gardner from Pakistan we do grafting on mangoes i have many verities in my orchard 😊
what varieties do you have?
Those sure look good and sweet! Do you still have to graft the polyembryonic mango in order to get a mango. Thank you for all the good information.
gardening, they are sooooo sweet. and no you don't have to graft the polyembryonic varieties, they grow true to seed. technically all but one of the seedlings will grow true, one of them will be fertilized but you'll know it because it's the runt of the litter.
@SleepyLizard Okay...thank you.
In Costa Rica I saw lots of different mangos. Most of them were from random trees and had small yellow fruit but there are lots of shapes. Some are like a kidney and others more round. Some people have grafted mangoes but most are hybrids or unknown varieties. They call the bigger green and red ones mangas instead of mangos. The big ones seem to get worms there so most people have yellow fruits.
I'd love to check out those trees with you during the fruiting season. I could learn a lot and you probably would too.
there's a club near me that take a trip to a new country every other year hunting mango varieties.
@@SleepyLizard cool. They'd be missing the boat if they didn't go to Costa Rica.
I've learned a lot from you about how the seeds work. I was definitely confused because I thought every mango tree was a hybrid from 2 trees or maybe pollinated by the same tree's pollen. Now I understand that there are a bunch of possibilities. Thanks.
How do they get the seeds back to the states? That's definitely something that would be confiscated by Customs, unless they have a work around I don't know about.
Another great informative video that you make fun, factual and enjoying to watch! With that being said MEH trees always has to ask extra questions lol… I’ll try to keep it short… I have some poly trees that in fact have 3 stronger looking almost even match seedlings at decent size… what if the weaker one never made it and these 3 are the strong ones that are good to go is that possible? I also have several that in fact there is clearly the weaker one in this one’s case should I cut it off or replant it by itself in hopes it being fertile will be able to grow and fruit or will this one need to be grafted? aka “the weaker one”. Or if I leave all of them as I as gps created will the tree be fine and just be a cluster “you know what” but still grow good mangos .. or the short and sweet answer which I think is do-able … take all of the poly seedling seperate and discard the smaller one and always keep them as single trees so they aren’t fighting each other since they’re so close … so many questions and sorry for the long post and I know it’s not worded the best but i guess In this case … WHAT DOES TOM DO IN THESE REGARDS TO HIS POLY SEEDLINGS?? Thx lol
Hi MEH, I'm not sure how to tell which one is the fertilized one if they all look the same. I suppose it's possible the fertilized one already died.
You can either discard or plant the fertilized seedling just know that it won't grow true to seed so it will need to be grafted or you'll grow a wild mango. I wouldn't leave them as a cluster. I suggest you carefully separate them and plant each in it's own pot.
Keep your questions coming. I always enjoy your comments.
@@SleepyLizard as always great advice and I appreciate you reaching back have a good one TOM and keep the videos coming
Video was full of knowledge....polyembryonic seeds only 😂
thank you
Very nice explanation, thank you. We have the same thing in Greece with mandarin trees in the sidewalk. The fruit is disgusting, and never understood why they didn't grow regular tasty fruit trees instead
ah I wasn't aware of that
Interesting, I have several Mango seeds that sprouted 2 or 3 stems. I will keep those for growing further. And like you said, they all came from the big s shaped Mangoes. I am wondering if the same applies to avocados. I have many that come out with 2 stems, and yesterday I found one that sprouted on my compost bin with unfrigginbelievible 7 stems. One broke off when I got it out, but 6 are still there. Never seen anything like that.
with avocados I usually prune away all but one stem otherwise they are competing with each other for nutrition and stunt each others' growth
Hey Tom just ran into your video yesterday. I’m growing a an avocado plant and just yesterday started with a mango seed. Is there possible where I can send you pics to see if I’m doing it right???😅
yes, my contact info is in the "about" section of my channel
I personally like the taste from the Atoulfo
yes nice and fruity
I've always been intrigued but that exotic bright-red mango variety that is not available here in South Asia. The colors suggest it would be extra pulpy. What's it called?
I'm not sure which one you are referring to. We have. a lot of bright red varieties. I think I name each one in the video.
Ya know when you google or youtube search something for an answer and get everything but.. well this video is exactly what i was looking for and even has info i didn't know I was looking for l. 😅 Excellence
you just made my day. and I needed it. thank you
@@SleepyLizard 👍 and you just made another Mango tree. Inspired me to go ahead and plant this seed. Don't know what variety but it was of the mono seed type and came from some Jamaicans I know from S. Florida. Maybe I'll get lucky or worse case graft something on.
please stay close to the channel and let us know how you make out.
Awww, just went to your site and you are out of everything. When will you get more mango?
This time of year are we have in season is Avocado. Mango season runs May through end of August. Sorry about that that’s just how mother nature is.
I just planted a kent seed can u tell me if i will get good variety of it and whats the good variety of mango that came of a kent seed
we won't know until it produces fruit. Kent mango seeds are like human babies, you don't know what you're gonna get.
The guy wanted as quickly as possible outta there😂. But the rest was very interesting and informative.
yeah I'm sure he had an important game of call of duty to play 🤣
@@SleepyLizard That's for sure. I've always wanted to live in such a climate, where every type of fruit can be grown. Florida is just a piece of Heaven on the earth. Anyway, good luck and don't forget to make new Videos regularly.
Awwwwee man I planted a tommy!!! Now I need to find a nursery and get a graft clipping. Might be better off buying a baby tree from proven fruit.
I think it's always a good call to buy a known variety from a nursery. That said it could be a nice adventure growing the Tommy and waiting to see what it gives you.
This is incredibly wholesome. Reminds me of when my dad taught me how to grow marijuana back in my teenage years.
Cherish those memories 🥰
i am an extension work and am just learning this lol
that's great. Glad to meet you.
So I think my mother in law had a Haitian. We planted it and now there are 3 trees coming out. Should I cut the small one off? Which ones will fruit? That’s the part I didn’t understand? Also how tall will it get if it fruits in just a few years?
see if each sprout has it's own root system. In other words can you separate them? If you can then separate and the two biggest will bear fruit in year 4. if you can't separate them then prune away the two small and let the largest one thrive.
Sleepy, Is there such thing as Cold Tolerant Mangoes?
no but many nurseries are trying to develop one
I've never had allergies to mangos from eating them but once I handled a whole bunch and I was itchy for days from the sap. Also my aunt could eat the meat but she got itchy from the skins too.
Many people are allergic to the sap including my wife and son. My wife gets visible welts. They can't help me pick and pack. but they can eat all the man go they want once I wash the sap off.
@@SleepyLizard I can touch them a little, like to eat a mango. But I found out that if I handle a bunch I get a reaction. That day I used my shirt for a basket so I got sap on my belly and all over my arms. It sucked for a few days.
If you grow a mono embryonic variety from seed is it possible that the result bears a poly embryonic seed or visa versa?
excellent question and I have no idea. I wonder if anyone has studied that.
Good to know. What about golden queens?
Never heard of that one
Not sure what mango i planted it only had one embrio and looked like the red green mango... lets hope it gives me fruit 😅 it does seem to have more than one tree or something cause there's 3 shoots, one tall and one not so tall and one still small... jup mine looked like the 1st seed.
tell us how it comes out
Nice shirt Nephew Tommy.. Phins Up 🐬☝
thank you
I have long been familiar with the Tommy Atkins mango cultivar.
I assume your Tommy is the same.
🤣
Will the atulfo grow in south fl?
I don't see why not. Although I don't know anyone who grows it down here. I know they grow it in California and also Mexico.
are mango self sterile? Because if all mangos are viable with each other and came from the same relatively recent common ancestor would it not be possible to ensure one variety tree is only pollinated by the same variety and essentially inbreed them until you get a new variety that tastes like the same but is polyembryonic?
Also I can't believe after seeing multiple doctors and neurologists to no avail that it's a mango seed video on youtube where I find out that my muscle tremors might actually be a symptom of my PTSD. Thank you so much for sharing your experience about the housefire. I will be doing more research into this.
I'm not sure about the genetics and how to purposely breed mangos. A lot of the varieties we have are from open pollination and we select the best ones.
I hope you find a solution for your tremors
Hopefully Tommy isnt allergic. That would be sad😢 being surrounded by all those lovely mangoes. Thank you. This was interesting.! Atulfos are my favorite.❤ Now that I know how to get into the seed, I'll try sprouting one or two. ..... Noticed Tommy is almost tall as you now!😄💞
Tess, that vid is a month old so here's the update: he's even taller still, his feet are a size bigger, and thankfully after a few weeks of testing he's not allergic to mango. He loves mango.
@SleepyLizard 😂😂😂😂 So you can't share clothes anymore!?! So glad for the update. Thanks. I can't imagine how sad it would be to be allergic to something that delicious. Good for him! This video just popped up for me today.
@@tesswagner895 funny you say that. He found my cache of t-shirts I used to wear back when I raced bicycles and was 30lbs lighter. he loves them. He was very close to wearing one of my suits to prom but we ended up having to get one a tad smaller
@SleepyLizard Reuse and recycle 😄 That's funny! They do grow up so fast! Nice you include your family in your videos. 💗
I have four plants growing now that I started from seed. I know living in Region 5 they won’t live outside and I’ll need to move inside soon. What’s the best way to keep them going over the fall and winter months?
Also my plants are about a foot tall, nice healthy looking leaves!
Window sill with light and don’t worry when they drop leaves.
@@SleepyLizard one more question. I’ve always notice gnats flying around and crawling in the soil. Just started spraying (misting) with Seven. Plants still fairing well. Is this okay and should I separate the pot with two growing within now? I know they will be nothing more than house plants but the idea of what they are is the joy for me and thoughts of when I lived in Barbados where they were abundant. Thanks!
I wouldn't worry about the gnats. they won't hurt anything @@josephdixon507
@@SleepyLizardFYI the gnats or whatever was crawling in my soil was unbearable and I refused to bring that inside my house. I got new soil and took the plants out of the pots and placed them in water and rinsed them well, washed out the pots and separated the two plants in the one pot. I repotted them all and they’ve been inside for a couple days now with no signs of bugs, standing strong and no evidence of shock. I believe they’ll survive and they’re getting acclimated to an east window for now and later may move to my west window where my 10ft rubber tree is. It was only foot tall in 2012. Anyway, I felt compelled to bring the mango plants in due to cooler temps we’re getting. Last week we had a morning low of 55* 😮
Hey Tom! You’d mentioned that the Haitian mangos don’t come around much and sell quickly at the market. Are you currently growing them and would you be selling
plants/scions in the future? Thank you buddy
Perry, I don't grow those. I've heard there's a guy growing them here in Florida but the only ones I know are imports.
I think my mother in law has one in her backyard. It fruits once in the summer and drops about 60-80 mangoes in about a month time. That face you made when you ate it is exactly what we did. We couldn’t believe how good it was compared to some in the stores.
This question has nothing to do with mangos but for fruit and nut trees that require a male and a female tree will it work to just graft a male scion to a female tree instead of growing a male tree? Thanks
I just got a mango from one of the grocery stores here the other day that had a polyembryonic seed in it, big fruit little seed but I don't think it had the S shape to it.
One of the reasons we graft is because seedlings take 10+ years to achieve sexual maturity whereas cuttings are already mature so even if that would work you'd still have to wait 10+ years for the rootstock part to be capable of reproduction (fruit production)
I just found a perfect way to peel the husk off a mango seed (had to do it over 100 times). Take a pair of old prunners... the ones that aren't sharp anymore and a bit rusted and you were going to throw it away anyway.. and cut the end part of the seed where it connected to the stem on the tree. Use the prunners to grab on to one side of the husk wall and then start rolling the prunner like you would open an old can. It will peel that husk without damaging the seed inside and without endangering your hands, and it's low force. You don't even need gloves or protection to do that. Now it should be a lot easier to get that embrio because most of one wall of the husk got peeled off. Give it a try.
I will try this technique
@@SleepyLizard The reason I mentioned the old prunners is not because you throw them away afterwards, but because 1. You can wash them off, and they're already rusting, so no biggie. 2. They are not as sharp anymore and that allows you to grab on to the husk and not cut through it and just roll. So, the perfect tool for the job.
@@MasterKenfucius ingenious
Works on some seeds. Some mango seeds fill the entire pod like turpentine.
My grandmother has a turpentine tree I have been planting the seeds and they are poly I also sowed seeds from others I ate many are poly.
I like the turpentine for root stock.
13:44
East asian varieties and varieties developed from them are mostly polyembrionic have s shape
And
Varieties from India and the varieties made from them are monoembrionic and mostly dont have the s shape
thanks for the info
For the polyembryonic mango. Is the one true to mother tree need to fertilize by the fertilize mango tree to bear fruit? Thank you.
Hi Pham, they will all bear fruit. The fertilized one will bear unique fruit and the clones will bear identical to the fruit you got the seed from.
@@SleepyLizard Thank you very much 🙏
Recently bought some seeds of Alphonso and all of them are poly
The guy I bought from is in Malaysia and he test them in his labs
He has more than one lab?
Did you ever have a Mono embryonic produce more than one shoot? Im asking because all of the Kent seeds I planted have more than one shoot?
yes they'll send up double shoots but it's one tree with one root system. we prune away the smaller of the shoots
@@SleepyLizard Thanks so much!!! I have been learning a lot from you and I really appreciate it!!! 🥭

I planted few varieties in my backyard: Nam Doc Mai, Maha Chanook, Mallika, CAC. They are all grafted. My question: when they will flower and cross pollinate by air or insects, what type of mango will they produce?
if they are grafted they will produce the variety you bought. The fruit is not impacted by the pollination, the seed inside it is. A nam doc mai for example will can be pollinated by all kinds of other trees but every fruit will be a Nam Doc Mai...but the fertilized seedling will be a random combination of the pollenizer and the mother tree.
In the case of Nam Doc Mai your seed will give you multiple seedlings all but one will be a clone of the mother.
