Nature's Ugly Treat. The Pickering Mango.

- Supermarkets only sell the prettiest, shiniest symmetrical shaped fruit. People won't buy "ugly" fruit so it makes no sense for the industry to try and sell it. As a result people are missing out on the best tasting fruit. Take the Pickering mango for example. With hints of coconut and honey the pickering is one of the best tasting mangos. The pickering also happens to be highly susceptible to anthracnose which scars up the skin and makes the fruit look bad. Pickering also has a non-symmetrical shape that turns people away. For that reason Pickering are not grown as a commercial crop. Backyard grower know however that it's one of the best and they have no problem eating ugly fruit.

That jackfruit is saying "please don't take another bite of mango"! 😁
that jackfruit is getting split open in about 12 hours 😁
app....ate your videos
and I appreciate your comment.
Wow, your wife didn't want to comment on video, How can stores sell them? She is cute, but you need more than cute to sell in the long term.
I'm not sure what you're saying.
Have u had cotton candy mango b4
not yet
There's no such thing as ugly fruit. Only ugly farmers growing the fruit.
Do you think I'm ugly?
@@SleepyLizard Of course not. I would have said that if I thought that.
@@chinatownboy7482 I appreciate your compliment in that case
Poop-ring if you know you know!
I'm afraid I don't know. 😢
Pickering
There are many but you must make sure it’s Pakistani NOT Indian because many vendors will dupe you and say yes these are from PK when they are actually Indian so don’t get duped because PK is the king of sweet mango varieties. Good luck!
I feel like you're pulling me into some kind of feud I have no part in 🤣
ads are making it difficult to just like your videos when they come out.
Are you saying TH-cam plays a lot of ads while you're watching vids?
I don't mind the ads it's the content I come for and I'm drooling right now as I love mango.
@@andrewwhite2449 I been eating mango all day. and mamey, and passion fruit, and we're about to cut open a jackfruit
😂😂@@SleepyLizard
I really enjoy your content! You're smart, open-minded, hardworking. I love watching these types of videos reviewing, talking about certain varieties of mango and avocado, and other exotic fruit. I love how you feature your wife and son, and other special guests or experts at grafting like Armando and the wrestler. And you updating on some grafting projects. The world needs more people like you! God bless you!
thank you
Pickering has a mother who I’m sure she thinks is beautiful snide out 😌😂
truth
Tom oh Tom! The Maha Chanook! Heaven just visited Planet Earth! Wow, what a great tasting mango. Now, I have a total love affair with all mangoes but the Maha, OMG, it’s just so so good! Agree that the Pickering is also very good but it’s came 2nd on my list! But seriously, the mango that I am eating now, is my favorite! Love mangoes!!!!🥭 🥭🥭🥭🥭🥭🥭🥭🥭
I been eating Mahachanook for the past 3 days...so good.
Dominica has a large variety of mangoes all over the place, when we eat mangoes we throw the seeds any where and they grow especially by the river side, some people would plant a tree in the yard, but mangoes back home grows all over the place.
Yum
Do all mangos have the huge seed in the middle?😊😊😊
yes, some varieties are thinner than others but yes.
I dont spray my Pickering, I’m somewhat inland, and the fruits dont really get the normal anthractnose spotting , it just has natural ‘sap leakage’ stripes/lines.
Pickering is a winner 👌
I love the pickering
Are you selling seeds of the Pickering? I’d love to try to plant them. I heard they’re good for rootstocks too.
I do not sell seeds nor trees. sorry about that.
Many people are missing out on tasty mangoes whenever they see that it looks ugly or disquisting. But I'm here missing out on these mangoes, because I live in Bulgaria, so, yeah. But you're probably missing out on delicious cherries and peaches that thrive where I live. There are a few figs here and there around my neighbourhood that don't ripen until August or September I believe, but still taste amazing. But you might also have a few fig trees, even though you haven't mentioned about them. I'm not sure if figs can handle whre you live in zone 10b. There're yellow cherries near our house in the village. I tried to pick as many of them as possible, but a lightning struck way too close for my comfort and ran off. I did taste these rare cherries and were amazing.
yes I love peaches
You need to go out and long for genuine Pakistani mango.....the variety are called Sindri and Chaunsa, the latter ripens in July and might not be available as yet in Florida but that is the King of ALL mangoes, period!
I bet it's delicious. what other varieties do you enjoy?
Philippine mango is so sweet, this tree just naturally grew from our back yard but its so good aromatic and sweet, it has a slightly mustard colored flesh.
I need to try it. what other varieties would you recommend?
Is Tommy all you have right now for mangoes? I would sort of like to have a variety so I can see what I like, I really wish you had Orange Sherbet and some of the popular Zills varieties but I I think you said you don't, I would like to try some of the varieties you do have that are not lemon and probably not pineapple, but I like the ones that are sweet orange flavor and maybe some of the other flavors
. The mangoes they have gotten here so far this year are very small and most of the ones I've eaten so far have been stringy and most have been flavors I really don't like, I got some that were really pretty good last year and they were all around a pound up to about 2 pounds for about the price they are now and some were 48 to 68 cents each , they did have a bad place or two but I just cut those parts out. It looks like the mangoes this year are not getting sold and are going bad, I think they are all from Mexico so far.
yes it's been a very bad year for productivity this year. I had mahachanook but we're done with them. Now all I have is Tommy and soon Valencia Pride.
When will you make a video and provide graftings for the sleepy lizard variant of mango?
Here's the vid on the Balliet: th-cam.com/video/ruOo95OTuVw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=rr15oP40RqbuAibQ
And I sell the cuttings here: www.guacfarm.com
Buying mangos from a market when you have a zillion mango trees at your farm? 😂
I know!
Pickering is top notch 🤤 it’s in my top three for sure🥭 Thanks for sharing
I'm about to eat one!
Interesting...my Pickering's were never that ugly...the tree was quite dwarf & quite tasty...it did get ultimately hit by anthracnose...
what is your favorite mango variety?
@@SleepyLizard Hey there...hard to say. I live in the hot interior low desert area of Metro Phx. I have over 600 plants on my plot...but I am currently into more natives & other plants (incl. other fruit trees---many citrus, which we can grow here, and low chill stone fruits--etc.) than I currently do tropicals. Have had my current plot nearly 24 & 1/2 yrs. I once had 7 mango varieties---reduced that to just one--now back up to 2 newer ones. A Super Julie & a Rosigold. So a semi-dwarf and more dwarf varieties. Should fruit next yr. ! I had the Pickering for several yrs b4 succumbed largely to anthracnose. I thought it was a pretty good many. Also had a cogshall once I liked....
meant pretty good "mango"
Tom ojalá algún día tengas la oportunidad de probar el mango de azúcar muy popular aquí en Colombia por sus características
he escuchado mucho de este mango.
@@SleepyLizard es un mango muy sabroso es uno de mis favoritos
❤
💪
I just ordered a shirt! I really enjoy your content. I am starting some avocados at my house in central Florida and your info has been extremely helpful… Thank you
thank you and best of luck with the new trees!
India have many great variety of mangoes ❤
They sure do!
Do you have a favorite variety?
@@SleepyLizard yeah some local like amarpali,dasehri,chausa,bambaiya and Landra
I am tires, up almost 18 hrs, up in maybe 6... Thank you for your videos, & I did plant a few avocado seeds. Thank you for your advice. Night :-)
oof, gonna be a rough day
Hey Tom, I've been growing a couple of avocado trees for grafting but was disappointed to find out that hass doesn't work well in South Florida. Do you have any recommendation with similar taste and texture that I can try instead? I'm looking at the scions on guacfarm but unfortunately I have no idea which to pick. I don't care much for the popular large, smooth skinned green ones the Cuban population loves that is very common in Miami, so I'm trying to avoid that.
Thanks and keep up the good work! I would love to get some of these specialty mangoes you mentioned but they are not available in the website yet!
of the ones I have the Black Prince and the Monroe both resemble Hass in flavor but they are also large and green skinned like the ones you've tried and didn't like.
I’ve had my Pickering mango for a little over a year now and I can’t recommend it enough for the backyard grower with small space. My tree was a 15 gallon when I bought it and after just one year in the ground it produced and held onto 13 fruit (the canopy is about 4x5 ft). I have neighbors with much bigger/older trees that didn’t even fruit year. Plus the Pickering tree has a semi-dwarf growing habit and can be maintained in the 6-10 ft range, which is great if you have a small yard and/or live in a marginal zone for growing Mangoes (North Tampa suburb 9B in my case) because you can more easily protect it from the cold. Not to mention Tom seems to approve of the fruit quality!
so good. I have one ready to go in the ground, about 2 months ago I repotted into 15 gallon and it sprouted from knee high to chest high. I can't wait to plant it.
One of my favorites! I have an adult tree that produces a lot. The flavor is very intense - it's not for the faint of heart. Stop beating that jackfruit! It did nothing wrong to deserve that.
yes, I can't sit and eat pickering all day like I can other varieties..a tad to powerful and rich. that jackfruit is getting cut open today!
The 600lb gorilla in this vid was the 20lb mango to his left! WTF!
That's a jackfruit 🤣. Some get over 100 lbs
Cann you translate in franch please? Because you are speaking very quicly and we can not easyly follow you! Thanks
I suppose I could try but it might take me a few years to learn French
You grow mangos in France?
maybe Haiti
@SleepyLizard true, didn't think about that. Haitians know English though, so still confused. I clearly understood every single word you said. I'm from NYC, so you were definitely not talking too fast for me lol
@SleepyLizard btw, love your content. I appreciate ppl that keep it real and tell it like it is. Your sense of humor is a bonus too lol!!! Hopefully see you on Sunday at the festival
