- As a fruit farmer I'm always discovering delicious and obscure new fruits to try. In this vid I introduce you to the Ford mango that grows to over 5lbs. I also sample some longan and monstera deliciosa.

My mouth is watering watching you eat those fruit!😛🤪😻
it's been about 10 days since I made the vid and he longans are even juicier now.
Man thank you for going through the process of growing our food you are the best
I appreciate your comment
It's a blessing when you can pick from what you pla t and eat. That mango is a monster. Never see one that big. Keep doing that great job. Blessings.
so true
I learned a lot about the difficulties of growing large fruit, I had never heard of this variety of mango. Now I'm craving mango.
I'm so sad we've come to the end of mango season 😢
I find myself smiling while watching him eating fruits!
I have been planning to go back to Jamaica and plant fruits and vegetables for some time now.
I have never had the Ford mango, and I'm sure it's one of the varieties that I would like to grow.
I love longon and rambutan even more than I like lychees.
I have never taste monsterola deliciosa, but I know that it grows wild in the jungle, but I thought that it was poisonous.
I only know that it is edible a few years ago because of RUclips.
Monstera isn’t poisonous but it will sting your mouth if it’s not ripe
I feel your excitement Tom, especially since I am coming this weekend to get mine!! Can’t wait to try the Ford. Nice.
just went out this morning and there's still a few the squirrels haven't got.
Oh my lord I need that 😂I literally threw my fist in air when I saw you cut the cheek😂
I'm already looking forward to next mango season. I miss them already 😝
LOVE LOVE LOVE your videos.
thanks for the compliment. Yesterday was a tough day so your encouragement really got me going good today.
I need to taste that Ford! Love the rain also!

I love longan
this is the third video of you I have seen and yes I subscribed. Your videos are so informative and really fun to watch. Do not get pissed but you should run for office.
😁😁😁
I only had this make a one time and it was my neighbor that got it from his job and they gave him a whole bunch. I've been looking for this Mango for a long time.
it's delicious isn't it?
Wow those are big mangoes I need some
yep and tasty
Longans are available in California in 99 Ranch Market chain. They have a lot of tropical fruit like mangosteen, durian, rambutan, etc.
Of course they don't have what you have, huge mango, huge avocados, monstera, jaboticaba, etc.
I wonder if any of their longan comes from here.
@@SleepyLizard I would need to check it on the label. Either way: in Florida you can eat them fresh!
@@kaszub the first stop we made when I met you was a longan grove.
@@SleepyLizard thank you for that! That was a great, unplanned day for me 🙂!
OMG!! That’s huge!!!!
it's a beast
Beautiful ❤
Thank you Mary.
Incredible fruit! Wow. Enjoy the fruit AND the rain. Cheers from Ottawa, Canada🍁
I only have a few mangos left and I'm making every one count
Longan is so delicious
so good yes.
I would buy one of those mangos. Looks yummy!
so yummy
Check out the R2E2 variant of mango from Queensland Australia, yum.
sounds out of this world!
I used to have a tree like that in my home country with double the size fruits. Tree was killed by a thunder!
Wow, what a bummer
Oh my! I can almost taste that fine mango 🥭 😍
so delicious
Damn! Just one of your longan is like 3/4 times the size of the longan available to me here in the uk.
Never had a chance to try the mondtera.
both delicious. The longan flowers smell soooo good right now
I am from Vietnam, i wonder that you have any chance to try the longan from Vung tau- one of the best longan of Vietnam- I tried mostly all the longan in Vietnam but the taste of Vung tau longan is the best. The mixed taste of salt and sweet is really amazing.
I'm not sure.
If you ever come to south east asia, you will have like over 10 varieties of longans to try when its in season. Another you HAVE to try are dokong or duku langsat, pulasan(cousin of rambutan but 10x better!) and mangosteen fresh off the trees
I would love to sample every one
Me too! I want to grow a fruit forest in my country, with every fruit that I can put my hand on.
If it grows, it grows, if it doesn't, I'll just try another.
I don't want to do it for profit, I just want to enjoy as much fruit as I possibly can within paying for it.
Senegalese mangos are the size of your head like that! August is mango season here
yum yum yum
Good food👍❤ i'm 50 seed hass tree 🥑
Yum
Can the ford mango grow in a pot? Here in North FL I'd have to take it indoors. It looks wonderful!
I think of all the mangos this one would be least desirable for growing in pots because the fruit is so big and heavy you need a nice full grown mature tree to not only support the weight but to generate the energy to grow all that fruit.
@@SleepyLizard Thank you!
Please show me how to graft mango trees, Thanks
I have a few vids on the channel grafting mango
Have you ever tried dasheri mango? It’s very popular in India. I want to try growing it but a can’t find it.
You do good videos
🤣
I've never tried that variety
the monstera deliciosa i learned about from you and it is amazing. Do you sell the Ford mango's?
Chris, I don't sell the Ford because of how dirty they get. I'd be happy to include some in a box for your next season but I only have like two left now and that's the end of mango season for me 😢
@@SleepyLizard ill be excited to try them next year
Have you had issues with the fruit splitting?
I haven't had Ford splitting but they do scar up a bit but they're on the tree till September so it's not surprising. I have other varieties that split.
Tom how is it that you can go into a publix any time of year and find a mango?? When there is suppose to be a mango season… I’m hearing these are GMO ??
Hi Marcus, They are not GMO. GMO is not common at all. You might surprise yourself if you ask google which produce is GMO, there's only like 4 things on the list.
As for your question, the mangos you find now are imported from other parts of the world who are on other growing timelines. Their seasons don't coincide with ours.

So! You good do vidoes
so I've been told. In those exact words in fact.
Are the Ford mangos polyembryonic or mono? Are you going to put them up on your website? You really picked a sweet time to make a video outdoors. Thanks
Hi, the Ford are mono. I don't have enough this season to sell. Yeah this time of year I try to make a vid right before the storm comes so it's not as hot and bright.
Can i purchase some scions from your ford? Or do you have a grafted tree by any chance?
I don't ship them but if you're local to Homestead you can come by and get some in person.
You sell grafted fords ? Don’t see any on the site
Hi Marcus, I don't sell trees anymore.
How can get some. Where in FL are you?
I'm down in homestead and have these fruits in the month of august. kind of a short season.
Hi are mangos true from seed
Some are. Some are not. Depends on the variety
Are blue berries true to seed
Hi Brother ... I Live In The Redlands 222 Ave & ... Can I Buy Those Fords Mangos from You ? I want The Trees & wanna try the fruit !!!! Ty
Hi Manual, you can come by and take a cutting when it's season. I only like like 3 left on the tree.
@@SleepyLizardAwesome & Ty Brother

Hi
Hi Isaiah
I’ve been told that size matters in life. Is that true?
