That's so awesome! I love seeing reviews of California backyard mangos! Unfortunately, as you mention we lack the heat and also have fungal pressures that prevent many mango varieties from being full size.
That is awesome. Thanks for sharing the video. Do you still have the sweet tart seedlings available? I am in orange. Please let me know, i am really interested in the seedling. Thanks.
I planted a mango tree from seed for about two years. I have to wait three more years for it to bear fruit!? Maybe I will get a scion from you the next time I go to So. Cal. or (you can bring me one if you are coming to the Bay Area ) to graft to my tree. Hopefully I can get mango sooner.
Would you say mangos are true to seed for the most part? And if I grow one from seed, should I expect the seedling to produce a fruit with at least half of the characteristics of the mother tree? I’m curious because someone is offering me a cheap sugar loaf seedling but I don’t know if it’s worth growing it and waiting for fruit if it’s not going to taste like sugarloaf. Thank you for your help!
I’ve been trying to grow mango seedlings from grocery store seeds but most have trouble germinating :/ how would I buy one of your sweet tart seedlings?
I’m guessing squirrels, opossums raccoons and rats would love to get a hold of a mango. Do you protect your mangoes in anyway? I have to put netting around my avocados if I want to be able to harvest them. My neighbor was doing some yard cleanup, and he said he found 30 avocado seeds in his yard. Squirrels take my avocados to his yard where they can relax. 😞 Also, how long do you think the mango trees can stay in a pot? I’m happy to see you’re still making videos. I have not been able to spend much time in my yard this past year.
I don’t protect the mangoes. Yes squirrels are relentless with avocados. They will strip a whole tree of fruit. Mangoes can stay in pots for a few years I think, but they need bigger pots. Thanks for watching
@@AJTheGraftMan relentless is definitely the right word. I cannot let my trees grow very high here due to view ordinance. A couple of things have worked until it doesn’t. It sounds crazy, but I have taken plastic food containers and snap them over the avocado. If there’s a group of avocados together, I can wrap them in tule Or some kind of mesh. I have even used the netting that onions come in. It works for quite a while as long as they think it’s a trap.
I have grown several Sweet Tart mango seeds out this summer and have a question about the polyembryonic-ness of them. These seeds throw up 3 to sometimes 6 stems, and apparently only 1 is genetically a clone of Sweet Tart. However, when I remove the potting soil and look at the plant it does not look like 6 separate plants, rather there is like a "backbone" where all of the shoots come out of and the backbone grows all the roots, so it really looks like it's 1 plant? Or is it that the other tissue from stems is just merged like a graft to the roots?
That’s a tough question. They’re so variable and sometimes unpredictable. I’ve separated embryos in the past, but I’ve also had ones that form single shoots
@@AJTheGraftMan when you plant poly seeds and get several sprouts do you let them all grow? Or pick the best looking one and cull the others? I’ve read about crushing leaves and smelling them to figure out which is the clone but to me they all smell alike 😂
I’m also doing a inarch graft from on of the smaller stems into the bigger stem thinking I was making a double rootstock, but turned out the stems are already attached at on of those “backbone” looking things at the top of the roots.
So happy to see the payoff for all the care you put into this. Your joy is obvious and infectious.
Thanks! I’ve been waiting a long time to try these
Yummy!!! Hello !!!❤❤
Hi!!
Love your channel and always interesting so from all the way in Australia have a lovely Christmas and have a safe and happy new year
Thanks! Merry Christmas to you too!
Am I the only one who can also taste it as he bit into it?!

Thanks! Yes there are some challenges to growing mangoes in our area, but the payoff makes it so worthwhile
Well done. 5 years from seed to ripe fruit is pretty good.
Thanks. Yes it’s quite exciting!
Salivating
Me too
Awesome! congrats Aj on the ST mango. Definitely need to come by and get scions next season for grafting.
Thanks. Yes sounds good
Use standard items that ate typically found in the home for size comparison. E.g. dollar bill, envelop,
Wow!!!!! Amazing bro yummy
It was good
Nice bro
That is awesome. Thanks for sharing the video. Do you still have the sweet tart seedlings available? I am in orange. Please let me know, i am really interested in the seedling. Thanks.
Thanks. Yes email me ajsgarden123@gmail.com
Fantástico meu irmão poder assistir à prova dessas frutas maravilhosas. Tenho que comprar uma árvore de Manga quando regressar a Portugal! Um Abraço.
Obrigado Meu Irmão!

How has your experience been growing Indian mangoes vs the south East Asian varieties?
Great question. I’ll do a video about this

Great question! I’ve answered this question in some of my mango videos. Check them out on my channel!
