Mango wagon

Yum, yum, yum!! I love mangoes!

Last year was a good year here for mangoes. The San Diego County and Coachella Valley mangoes were flawless, and so sweet and good because of all the hot weather.

reminds me the visint of sud america long time ago.
when i was young!!!

Hello Delonix and Bik . They are Yum, yum.... LOL. :-)
Where in South America Bik?

Klahanie:

The ones that are imported taste HORRIBLE! They have to go through a hot water bath which ruins their taste. Luckily, this Manila variety of mango is the easiest mango to grow in California.

I like these the best. 80 cents per kilo here.

lots of places. Puerto Cabello(venezuela), Panama, Buena Ventura - Calli (Colombia), Iquique, Consepcion(Chille), Recife(Brazil),Buenos Aires y Rosario(Argentina)

Wow, you have been around a lot. I am impressed. :-)

Klahanie:

Yes, Manila mango is very good! There's virtually no fiber and the taste is wonderful. However, I need to find someone with a tree to get fresh home-grown fruit. :>)

Or plant one :-) We can get kilo for 9 pesos (80 cents)here but back home we pay like $2.50 each. (Sigh)

I used to have a Keitt variety mango tree for 3 years...then it died from being crowded out by other plants. As you know mango trees need full unimpeded sun all day to grow well.

I have been seriously thinking about planting a Manila mango. It's the easiest variety to grow here.

Do you have any mango trees? I know you have several papaya trees, right?

No, my mango tree died about 3 or 4 years ago and I never replaced it. I will most likely buy a Manila mango...as it's inexpensive and can be kept as a dwarf tree at 13ft (4m) tall.

Yes, I have many papaya "trees" (plants). Papayas trees have a short lifespan of only 4 - 10 years. Mangoe trees live for many hundreds of years and produce fruit for all those years. Mango trees are the largest fruit-producing tree in the world.

We have those vendors now. My father past away before it began. He would have loved to see them again.

They either ring a bell or have a honker. My wife who is Filipino likes the Mango with lemon juice.
