He is! We are happy to report he's not allergic to mangos. Must have been something else. and lucky for him because as you can see he's surrounded by them.
Just when I thought I knew a lot about mangoes, this guy comes in and completely destroys my notion of being somewhat of an expert on mangoes 😲😂😂. Very informative video. From Texas.
Dude, I've been gardening for years and I can't believe I didn't know this stuff. This channel is so great. It inspires me to become a teacher in my own field. I just wish I had florida climate for tropical fruits and peppers. Northern CA we can grow a lot, mangoes and pineapples are hard.
Jeffrey, thank you for your encouraging words. yes I'm very grateful to live in a climate that makes growing the fruit I love so easy. Have you ever tried to do a pineapple indoor? It takes a long time but it might work.
Very informative, currently starting a nursery for mango and avocado and I really need this good quality of content. I really enjoy this type of agriculture involving fruit trees. I am viewing from the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago in the Caribbean.
The way you talk and explain everything is so amazing! You have a way to wrap people's attention so easily and that's so cool!!! I'm amazed... truly amazed. You would be an amazing teacher for kids these days... I would've loved to grow watching and listening to you teach all of these things. I know some stuff because my dad loves his banana and papaya "trees" so much that he plants them everywhere we move and provide a really fresh and cool environment to backyards. Hi, from Cancún, México!🥭
One of the best gardening informational videos from the thousands I have seen on you tube very interesting and actually gave me answers about mango trees I have been asking for years
I'm sure know this but mangoes contain the exact same chemical found in poison ivy and poison oak. It is mainly found in the sap that is on the mango skin when you pick a fresh one. Each year I get a horrible allergic reaction when I pick and clean a bunch of our Haitian mangoes. I try to be careful but it's easier said than done. It's possible that your son had the same thing going. I can usually eat them just fine but man if i get too much sap or skin whie eating my face and body gets swolen and itchy! Love your stuff!! Truly been an inspiration to me!
thank you Montana and you are exactly right. We discovered he's allergic to the sap not the fruit. He can eat them but not touch the sap. Discovered the same thing about my wife too when she helped me pick a few hundred lbs last week.
Very helpful video, been trying to grow a mango tree myself but haven't had success yet. Quick pointer, Ataulfo mango is originally from Chiapas, México not California, named after his original owner Ataulfo Morales (Ataulfo had a mango tree in his backyard and an agricultural engineer asked for permission to create a graft with his variety and named it after him).
I always learn so much from this channel. I have planted at least 20 mango seeds over the years and I could only get two of them to sprout and I sort of got frustrated and gave up trying, but now that I am going to try again and with the right type of mango. I will keep my eye open to see if there any Haitian mangoes available. Cheers from Ottawa, Canada 🍁
Wow, very useful information from you about Polly and Mono etc that no one else has said before and as clear and easy to understand as you have explained. Much appreciated. Thanks very very much.
I had a Haitian Mango tree and it produced many mangoes, very sweet and great tasting. I wasn’t fond of the fiber but the taste was so good. My Neigbors always looked forward to getting some from me. Then Hurricane Irma came along and wiped out several of my mango trees including Haitian Mango. I had also the Nom Dac Mai Mango which is my favorite of them all. Top 1.
I learn so much from your channel. I’m actually off to Colombia 🇨🇴 for the next 6 weeks. I’m going to see if I can bring back some mango and avocado cuttings with me so I can graft them onto me trees I have growing in my grow room at my house. Cheers from Ottawa, Canada 🍁
Thank you I actually learned something and you actually stopped me from making a mistake. I was about 2 weeks into germination of one 8 got from the store that you just explained would have been worthless to me lol. Thank you again
SleepyLizard, I live in zone 9 and I wish I could grow mangoes, jackfruit, soursap etc, you are so blessed to live in Florida, you can grow any fruit that your heart desires, congratulations buddy!
I live in Oklahoma where it gets below zero. Guess what? I grow citrus, avocado, banana, dragonfruit, figs. The secret? Pots! Bring them indoors in the winter under grow lights and wallah!
Love this and are so happy to hear the altafo mangoes are true to seed!! I love those so much! Another way to check if your boy is allergic to mangoes, is to rub some mango on the inside of his wrist, and if he breaks out in hives, then you will know.
@SleepyLizard did you know that the Autulfo mango are descendants of the Philippine mango, the world's sweetest mango according to the Guinness World Record. Origin The Mexican Institute of Industrial Property (Instituto Mexicano de la Propiedad Industrial) granted the designation of origin of this fruit to the government of Chiapas.[3] Along with the Manilita mango, it is a descendant of the Philippine mango cultivar introduced from the Philippines to Mexico before 1779 through the Manila-Acapulco galleon trade. It was crossed with other mango varieties, resulting in the Ataúlfo. Regardless, Ataúlfo remains a Philippine-type mango, characterized by being polyembryonic (as opposed to the Indian-type which is monoembryonic).[5]
I brought two mango seeds home from a Thailand vacation last year (the mangos were damn tasty there) and wondered why the seeds sprouted into each 3 or 4 plants. I am so happy now to know that they grow true to seed. Thank you for the video. Much love from Germany
Hey Tommy, I watched a video on your farm by someone else, you are the guest star. You mentioned that you have a mango tree that doesn’t grow fruit, and it’s the first one you planted. Don’t take my word for it because I was 13 years old when I was into growing fruit trees. My neighbor was already retired, and I learned a lot from him. In fact, I started selling fruit when I was 8 years old, a very profitable little business near a bus stop in Matola Mozambique. He had a type of mango that, if you watered it, it wouldn’t grow and wouldn’t bare fruit. It only got water when it rained. Most of the trees had roots on the surface, I remember tripping on them, and the trees that we didn’t water, there was no roots to trip on. I remember that because that’s where I played most of the time. In fact, it’s the trees that gave us the most shade. I grew up there, next door, and I moved away when I was 13. I don’t know the reason why he told me not to water those trees. He also had 12 orange trees that he didn’t want them watered, and they were delicious. Now that I’m 60, I’m curious to know why were the best mango trees never watered. Maybe you have one there, the one that isn’t producing. Wouldn’t it be funny if there is such tree that needs no water to be healthy?
Tony, I think you're on to something because we definitely water avocado trees more frequently than mango and since this mango is amongst the avocados it gets more water than it should.
Thanks a lot for the lecture. I have about 4 mango trees in my compound, but growing big. I never new of all that you taught through this channel. Am going to try your method.
@@SleepyLizard I am told from someone in Central Valley that Manila works as the rootstock out here. So perhaps that is the issue with varieties grafted from Florida.
I'm so fond of mango's&Avo's Tried to plant both did not work. You guys are true farmers. We have to buy these delicious fruit from the fruit &veg store. Not cheap. Thankyou need to try again when I go to the store hopefully there will be. Thanks again
This was helpful as I have planted a few PPK and OS seedlings that I would like to graft onto a mature stump to possibly add a new family member (I love the Lemon Merengue (Orange Sherbet, Lemon Zest) and Zill Indochinese (Sweet Tart, Kathy, Buttercream) lines so would l love another similar but different flavor and/or season
Great video. I eat part of a Aldis or Sams Club store purchased mango daily. I extract the seed and inspect them. I cut the thinner flat part of the seed pod to open the seed pod. I've noticed that all of them have a cut along the undeveloped stem site. I guess that it is done using a lazer device and is done to prevent its germination. Can you confirm this?
Hi Harold, I don't know anything about that. I've never heard of any such process but then again I don't run a supermarket so I wouldn't know. sorry about that.
I have been watching this channel for quite some time now. I was surprised to see Haitian mango on this episode. The Haitian mango that you presented is call "Mango Fransik". It is one of the best mangoes in Haiti. Most Haitian mangoes are poly-embryonic and have fibers and they are all delicious mangoes that are unique only to Haiti; unless exported to other places.
I've always been intrigued but that exotic bright-red mango variety that is not available here in South Asia. The colors suggest it would be extra pulpy. What's it called?
Video is sooooo helpful. I wished I saw it sooner. I bought 2 atulfo grafted mango tree for $80 a piece which both didn’t make it when I could have grown my own from seed. I’m obsessed with growing mango trees and I live in zone 5. 😂
Informative as charm man, really going to plant mango with a lot of confidence will wait for the fruit for 3 years with trust and happiness Thanks a lot for the explanation
Wow!! love your content. Just when you think you've viewed all the vids on growing mangoes you learn something new. I live in Jacksonville, FL (northeast Florida-zone 9a, 9b), what type of mango variety would work best in my climate? or is there one at all?
This is so helpful. I have a very alien looking seed from a Alan Pur Banashem and I could not find anyrhing on google whether it is mono or poly. Thanks for sharing
I have been watching tutorial videos for decades for a wide variety of topics from home diy, photography, outdoor sports, music performance, small engine and auto repair, cooking, on & on.... Your videos are, hands-down, the most enjoyable and thorough (best) I've seen. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Quick question; If I have a very young (
thank you for the encouragement. the grafted tree in the scenario you describe will produce in year 4. and yes I was aware and sad that we couldn't get Haitian mangos this season.
Thank you - this also gave me hope that I can try to plant a Mango from the Philippines that blowed my mind in terms of taste. I’m in a Mediterranean climate, so hoping I can grow them.
Hey Tom, you mentioned that you’ve had shaky hands ever since that fire you experienced and you believe it may be anxiety related. I’m sorry that you had to go through that. Have you looked into somatic experiencing? Irene Lyon has been a great resource for me for understanding how trauma and survival stress get “trapped” in the body and what to do about it. She has a fantastic YT channel that I can highly recommend. All the best to you and thanks for making these videos!
In Costa Rica I saw lots of different mangos. Most of them were from random trees and had small yellow fruit but there are lots of shapes. Some are like a kidney and others more round. Some people have grafted mangoes but most are hybrids or unknown varieties. They call the bigger green and red ones mangas instead of mangos. The big ones seem to get worms there so most people have yellow fruits. I'd love to check out those trees with you during the fruiting season. I could learn a lot and you probably would too.
@@SleepyLizard cool. They'd be missing the boat if they didn't go to Costa Rica. I've learned a lot from you about how the seeds work. I was definitely confused because I thought every mango tree was a hybrid from 2 trees or maybe pollinated by the same tree's pollen. Now I understand that there are a bunch of possibilities. Thanks. How do they get the seeds back to the states? That's definitely something that would be confiscated by Customs, unless they have a work around I don't know about.
@@SleepyLizard9:00 *How many trees do you have with white lines on edges & near veins? Are they white dots or solid white. If white dots, are they near the stomata?*
13:44 East asian varieties and varieties developed from them are mostly polyembrionic have s shape And Varieties from India and the varieties made from them are monoembrionic and mostly dont have the s shape
I grow mangos from seed here is Sth Australia, my mango of choice is Kensington also referred to as Bowen and Kensington Pride, Kensington is Australia's most popular mango and is Polyrmbryonic, I however do not grow the seeds to get fruit I use the seedlings as rootstock that I V graft known reliable great consistent varieties to so I know exactly what I will get and when. The V graft is also known as the Wedge graft, get some mango seedling and start practicing the V graft.
Your channel is amazing, I have learned so much about mango's and my other favorite avocados. I live in Tampa and have a friend in Sarasota who has a huge mango tree that is about 20 years old. He gave me mangos and now I'm in love with them. He said it is the " Kent ", and I saved about 5 seed pods to plant. If I don't plant this year can they be planted next year ?
Wrap them in a wet paper towel and place them in plastic bag till they germinate. Once germinated move to a pot with potting soil. You can grow them out there until you’re prepared to plant. I have about 20 seeds germinating rn. The seeds will eventually rot inside the pod from my experience. @richardsmith4187
gardening, they are sooooo sweet. and no you don't have to graft the polyembryonic varieties, they grow true to seed. technically all but one of the seedlings will grow true, one of them will be fertilized but you'll know it because it's the runt of the litter.
@@SleepyLizard Thanks, unfortunately I won't get a T shirt. I like your T shirts. Thanks again of being my good teacher I already tried Avocado grafting and got 3 successful grafted trees. I will do try Mango grafting. 🙏🙏🙏
I've never had allergies to mangos from eating them but once I handled a whole bunch and I was itchy for days from the sap. Also my aunt could eat the meat but she got itchy from the skins too.
Many people are allergic to the sap including my wife and son. My wife gets visible welts. They can't help me pick and pack. but they can eat all the man go they want once I wash the sap off.
@@SleepyLizard I can touch them a little, like to eat a mango. But I found out that if I handle a bunch I get a reaction. That day I used my shirt for a basket so I got sap on my belly and all over my arms. It sucked for a few days.
I have four plants growing now that I started from seed. I know living in Region 5 they won’t live outside and I’ll need to move inside soon. What’s the best way to keep them going over the fall and winter months? Also my plants are about a foot tall, nice healthy looking leaves!
@@SleepyLizard one more question. I’ve always notice gnats flying around and crawling in the soil. Just started spraying (misting) with Seven. Plants still fairing well. Is this okay and should I separate the pot with two growing within now? I know they will be nothing more than house plants but the idea of what they are is the joy for me and thoughts of when I lived in Barbados where they were abundant. Thanks!
@@SleepyLizardFYI the gnats or whatever was crawling in my soil was unbearable and I refused to bring that inside my house. I got new soil and took the plants out of the pots and placed them in water and rinsed them well, washed out the pots and separated the two plants in the one pot. I repotted them all and they’ve been inside for a couple days now with no signs of bugs, standing strong and no evidence of shock. I believe they’ll survive and they’re getting acclimated to an east window for now and later may move to my west window where my 10ft rubber tree is. It was only foot tall in 2012. Anyway, I felt compelled to bring the mango plants in due to cooler temps we’re getting. Last week we had a morning low of 55* 😮
So I think my mother in law had a Haitian. We planted it and now there are 3 trees coming out. Should I cut the small one off? Which ones will fruit? That’s the part I didn’t understand? Also how tall will it get if it fruits in just a few years?
see if each sprout has it's own root system. In other words can you separate them? If you can then separate and the two biggest will bear fruit in year 4. if you can't separate them then prune away the two small and let the largest one thrive.
It’s been five years and I finally got one mango fruit. Thank you so much.
yes!
Awesome to see father and son doing what they love to do together
He's a huge help with all the work we have here.
Hope your son is ok and can continue to enjoy the literal fruits of dad’s labor. 🤗

I really appreciate your concern. Thank you so much. I've recently begun healing from that event and the shaking is slowing down.
Very cool I live in San Diego and just planted a couple atalufo seedlings 🤙
great! you should be getting fruit in a few years
In Costa Rica I saw lots of different mangos. Most of them were from random trees and had small yellow fruit but there are lots of shapes. Some are like a kidney and others more round. Some people have grafted mangoes but most are hybrids or unknown varieties. They call the bigger green and red ones mangas instead of mangos. The big ones seem to get worms there so most people have yellow fruits.
I'd love to check out those trees with you during the fruiting season. I could learn a lot and you probably would too.
there's a club near me that take a trip to a new country every other year hunting mango varieties.
@@SleepyLizard cool. They'd be missing the boat if they didn't go to Costa Rica.
I've learned a lot from you about how the seeds work. I was definitely confused because I thought every mango tree was a hybrid from 2 trees or maybe pollinated by the same tree's pollen. Now I understand that there are a bunch of possibilities. Thanks.
How do they get the seeds back to the states? That's definitely something that would be confiscated by Customs, unless they have a work around I don't know about.
Excellent video...! and Asian mango may be Langra or Mallika variety.....
it could be Malika yes.
Awesome Mango varieties which i want to buy regularly.
so delicious
Do you do any air layer,i looked but didn't see anything in your videos
we air layer our mulberries but that's it.
I just planted a kent seed can u tell me if i will get good variety of it and whats the good variety of mango that came of a kent seed
we won't know until it produces fruit. Kent mango seeds are like human babies, you don't know what you're gonna get.
*What is the white lines near veins on leaves of seedling in left black plastic pot?*
I'm not sure
@@SleepyLizard9:00 *How many trees do you have with white lines on edges & near veins? Are they white dots or solid white. If white dots, are they near the stomata?*
I live in Thailand and the Nam Dok Mai is my favorite. I’m now looking for a Carabao seed or tree from the Philippines .
so delicious
Thanks. I think you saved me a lot of time.
Do you have a favorite variety?
you have the var Purple Mango there ?and if so what ithe taste like.?
I just did a vid about it today: th-cam.com/video/SFNPHp_T3FM/w-d-xo.html

East asian varieties and varieties developed from them are mostly polyembrionic have s shape
And
Varieties from India and the varieties made from them are monoembrionic and mostly dont have the s shape
thanks for the info
Excellent video as i am trying to figure some of this out❤❤
It's a lot to keep up with
Fabulously informative video!
thank you
I've wasted too much time watching mango videos less informative. Thanks for this. 🥭💚
thank you
I grow mangos from seed here is Sth Australia, my mango of choice is Kensington also referred to as Bowen and Kensington Pride, Kensington is Australia's most popular mango and is Polyrmbryonic, I however do not grow the seeds to get fruit I use the seedlings as rootstock that I V graft known reliable great consistent varieties to so I know exactly what I will get and when.
The V graft is also known as the Wedge graft, get some mango seedling and start practicing the V graft.
sounds like you got quite a nice operation going!
Your channel is amazing, I have learned so much about mango's and my other favorite avocados. I live in Tampa and have a friend in Sarasota who has a huge mango tree that is about 20 years old. He gave me mangos and now I'm in love with them. He said it is the " Kent ", and I saved about 5 seed pods to plant. If I don't plant this year can they be planted next year ?
thank you for the inspiring comment
Wrap them in a wet paper towel and place them in plastic bag till they germinate. Once germinated move to a pot with potting soil. You can grow them out there until you’re prepared to plant. I have about 20 seeds germinating rn. The seeds will eventually rot inside the pod from my experience. @richardsmith4187
@@JF-iq3qk what is your favorite mango?
I have long been familiar with the Tommy Atkins mango cultivar.
I assume your Tommy is the same.
🤣
Those sure look good and sweet! Do you still have to graft the polyembryonic mango in order to get a mango. Thank you for all the good information.
gardening, they are sooooo sweet. and no you don't have to graft the polyembryonic varieties, they grow true to seed. technically all but one of the seedlings will grow true, one of them will be fertilized but you'll know it because it's the runt of the litter.
@SleepyLizard Okay...thank you.
Will the atulfo grow in south fl?
I don't see why not. Although I don't know anyone who grows it down here. I know they grow it in California and also Mexico.
Love your channel
🥰
You are a good man, all support to you 😅
thank you
Excellent video!!👍👍
thank you Tata
Do you hsve tge Arumanis variety in Florida and what is it ned there?
I don't know, I never heard of that one
@@SleepyLizard it is completely green outside even when ripe. And orange on the inside.Delicious.From Indonesia
I just ate a Keitt which is bright orange on the inside and so delicious
Hi I really enjoyed your video. I am Haitian the real name of that mango is "Mango Francique"
thank you
Why don’t you deliver to CA? Any workaround
It's the state of California's rules and regulations. The only workaround some of my customers have found is move to Florida. 🤣
@@SleepyLizard 🤣 moving from CA is in the works for sure
Can you plant a Valencia pride seed and get multiples copies of the mother tree? Is this seed polyembryonic?
Valencia pride is not poly embryonic
Than you for the information
Tom your knowledge is extensive and I love teachings. Are you self taught ? 😊 Bill
I didn't go to school for this. I learned from other farmers and mostly from the guys I hire to do work
How close could I plant a Carrie and a Valencia pride to each other I’m in zone 9b

Which season can I graft Mango tree in South Africa
Sorry but I don't know the answer to that question. You're in the Southern Hemisphere so I'm pretty sure your trees are on a different schedule
@@SleepyLizard Thanks, unfortunately I won't get a T shirt. I like your T shirts. Thanks again of being my good teacher I already tried Avocado grafting and got 3 successful grafted trees. I will do try Mango grafting. 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for this informative video! 😊
you're welcome Michelle
Good to know. What about golden queens?
Never heard of that one
Awww, just went to your site and you are out of everything. When will you get more mango?
This time of year are we have in season is Avocado. Mango season runs May through end of August. Sorry about that that’s just how mother nature is.
How do u grow a bad tasting mango? I've only ever tasted sweet or more sour ones? But I still like both
you really love mangos don't you?
shit, i've been growing a tommy mango seed for the last 3 months and now you tell me it wont give me fruits in the next 5/8 years? god damn it
the facts are always friendly
Did you ever have a Mono embryonic produce more than one shoot? Im asking because all of the Kent seeds I planted have more than one shoot?
yes they'll send up double shoots but it's one tree with one root system. we prune away the smaller of the shoots
@@SleepyLizard Thanks so much!!! I have been learning a lot from you and I really appreciate it!!! 🥭
I've never had allergies to mangos from eating them but once I handled a whole bunch and I was itchy for days from the sap. Also my aunt could eat the meat but she got itchy from the skins too.
Many people are allergic to the sap including my wife and son. My wife gets visible welts. They can't help me pick and pack. but they can eat all the man go they want once I wash the sap off.
@@SleepyLizard I can touch them a little, like to eat a mango. But I found out that if I handle a bunch I get a reaction. That day I used my shirt for a basket so I got sap on my belly and all over my arms. It sucked for a few days.
I have four plants growing now that I started from seed. I know living in Region 5 they won’t live outside and I’ll need to move inside soon. What’s the best way to keep them going over the fall and winter months?
Also my plants are about a foot tall, nice healthy looking leaves!
Window sill with light and don’t worry when they drop leaves.
@@SleepyLizard one more question. I’ve always notice gnats flying around and crawling in the soil. Just started spraying (misting) with Seven. Plants still fairing well. Is this okay and should I separate the pot with two growing within now? I know they will be nothing more than house plants but the idea of what they are is the joy for me and thoughts of when I lived in Barbados where they were abundant. Thanks!
I wouldn't worry about the gnats. they won't hurt anything @@josephdixon507
@@SleepyLizardFYI the gnats or whatever was crawling in my soil was unbearable and I refused to bring that inside my house. I got new soil and took the plants out of the pots and placed them in water and rinsed them well, washed out the pots and separated the two plants in the one pot. I repotted them all and they’ve been inside for a couple days now with no signs of bugs, standing strong and no evidence of shock. I believe they’ll survive and they’re getting acclimated to an east window for now and later may move to my west window where my 10ft rubber tree is. It was only foot tall in 2012. Anyway, I felt compelled to bring the mango plants in due to cooler temps we’re getting. Last week we had a morning low of 55* 😮
So I think my mother in law had a Haitian. We planted it and now there are 3 trees coming out. Should I cut the small one off? Which ones will fruit? That’s the part I didn’t understand? Also how tall will it get if it fruits in just a few years?
see if each sprout has it's own root system. In other words can you separate them? If you can then separate and the two biggest will bear fruit in year 4. if you can't separate them then prune away the two small and let the largest one thrive.
For the polyembryonic mango. Is the one true to mother tree need to fertilize by the fertilize mango tree to bear fruit? Thank you.
Hi Pham, they will all bear fruit. The fertilized one will bear unique fruit and the clones will bear identical to the fruit you got the seed from.
@@SleepyLizard Thank you very much 🙏
