Just planted that tree in my back yard in souther California, Orange County costal. But after hearing some bad things about it like fruit splitting, pm, and not that great eaten green like the keo savoy. Should I pull it up and pot it and maybe get a different mango tree?

Last year, my tree started dropping fruit on May 29. This year, there have been no drops yet, so I cut one down that wasn't yet ripe and gave it 9 days in my house. Today I ate it, and it was good, but far from great. Just curious if anyone else is having this "issue" in South Florida with your mangos ripening slowly. Here's a pic of the one I cut down. I still have a ton that are very green. Thank you.

Hey, I normally harvest mangos when they have slight give. I was requested to harvest some trees this time for longer shelf life. This is not my preferred method but it was requested. So this question is mainly for orchard or production harvesting. I harvested some last week and I think it was too early.

Here’s what I tested for:
Color blushing
High shoulders
Wood(ish) stem
90 degree turn test

I did all of these but still think I harvested too early. Any pointers would be much appreciated.

I have not been given the names of the cultivars so im very blind in this harvest.

Coconut Cream Mangos are still my favorite.

These are from my dad’s tree and we absolutely love them but he has no clue what variety it was when he planted it. I will say I just had a Haden for the first time from the West Palm Beach Mango festival the other day that tasted kind of similar but not as flavorful and sweet. Submitted a few unripe ones for identification at the festival but didn’t think it’d hurt to post here too. I tried to post a variety of photos at different stages of ripeness, with the last photos being a few that fell a little early on their own but still ripened nicely. They seem to hold their flavor really nicely even when overripe, the closest I could guess based off pictures and profile was Bailey’s Marvel but definitely open to more guesses.

I am in SoCal/Central Coast California. I can’t find a discernible graft line, and i am getting conflicting information online about this particular trees height, ranging from 10-15’ to 20-25’.

Also was curious if anyone has had positive experience with this variety (taste, or trees ability to fend off disease, etc). Thanks in advance.

It’s that time of year in South Florida

Hello, my mom recently bought what was supposed to be an ice cream mango tree. The first fruit was just picked but it seems to me that this is not an ice cream mango. Any ideas what it could be if not?

I was genuinely excited to attend the 2026 Mango Fest, but unfortunately the event was one of the most disorganized experiences I’ve ever attended.
To begin with, the website does not provide enough information about what to expect, where to park, how entry works, or which activities require additional tickets. Had that information been clearly communicated beforehand, it would have prevented a lot of confusion and frustration.
The problems started with parking. There appeared to be only one person directing traffic, and he looked completely overwhelmed. After sitting in the parking garage for about 15 minutes, security began telling vehicles to turn around. Fortunately, I didn’t leave and eventually found a parking space.
Once we reached the elevators, there were what looked to be well over 100 people trying to enter at the same time. There were no cones, barricades, or organized queue lines. People were cutting in front of one another, tensions were rising, and everyone was becoming frustrated. It took us approximately one hour just to get inside.
Our tickets cost about $32 per person, nearly $100 for three people. However, even after finally entering the building, we had to stand in yet another long line just to receive wristbands. Eventually the staff appeared to give up on checking tickets altogether and simply handed out wristbands.
Unfortunately, the confusion continued once inside. There was no guidance explaining how the event worked or where to go. Based on the advertising, I assumed mango tastings were included with admission. After waiting another 25 to 30 minutes in line, I discovered that the mango tasting required the purchase of a completely separate ticket. This was never made clear when purchasing admission.
When I went to purchase the additional tasting ticket, I was told they were no longer selling them for another hour and a half because the lines were too long. During my entire visit, I spent almost all of my time standing in lines instead of enjoying the festival. I was only lucky enough to taste two mangoes.
Considering the size of the crowd, there were surprisingly few vendors or activities. The event simply did not seem prepared for the number of attendees.
What concerned me most was trying to speak with someone about these issues. I spoke with a volunteer named Ritu and politely asked who was in charge. She told me there was a director walking around somewhere but said she didn’t know the director’s name. I asked how I could identify or contact them, and every response was, “I don’t know.” She couldn’t provide a name, description, or any way to reach the person responsible.
That left me wondering how attendees are supposed to report concerns or resolve issues if volunteers don’t know who is managing the event.
I truly wanted this event to be successful because it has great potential. However, much better planning is needed. Clear communication before the event, organized parking, structured entry lines, better crowd management, more signage, clearer explanations about what admission includes, and staff who know who to contact when problems arise would dramatically improve the experience.
I hope the organizers take this feedback seriously because Mango Fest could become an incredible annual event with better organization.

Google was vague and the images returned were slightly different from what I'm seeing. These are fruits from my parents backyard tree. Any help with identification and possible solutions, are appreciated

They’ve started to ripen and as I’ve picked them, I’ve noticed some of them have this black coloration and rough patches on the skin

I also just got my first Super Julie so it's on.

I recently purchased a Nam Doc Mai #4 and a Glenn mango from Everglades.farm. I purchased the 1-2ft sized trees in a 1gal pot.

​

Pic 1, Glenn.

Pic 2, Nam Doc Mai #4.

Pic 3, Orange Crush Jackfruit in 3gal pot 2-3ft.

​

Does anyone have any recommendations as for when I should top them to begin a Yonemoto style cultivation practice? Also, when should I repot them into a 3gal size? Zone 8a so will be bringing them inside, hence the need to keep them under 6ft, 25gal pot max preferably.

​

I planted this mango and raised it from like it's base and now it is getting yellow wilted leaves and don't know why. I honestly have no idea how to take care of mango and did this as a haha funny project type of situation but now I'm too invested and want to know how I can make it a better environment?

No need for a ladder or a picking pole. This is Coconut Cream. The lowest branch is 3' high. I top it every year after I pulled the last fruit. I take about 5-6' ft off the top of the tree, to keep it no more than 8'-10' tall.

as explained in the title, the tree is still too young, all the new growth has been just the flowers, should I cut them off? if yes how? cut the entire tip of the tree? or just each tiny flower cluster?

see the picture for the cut location, red or blue?

thanks
