Nice find! Gives us hope for those in Zone 9B to give it a try. If several of us do, some will survive and then it will be a juggernaut of mango trees growing in Northern California! Thanks again for a great video!
Wow, great video Jeff, those are really nice looking mango trees with some nice looking fruits! Wow, wish I had one of those trees in my backyard, thanks for sharing!
Thanks Jeff for sharing as usual I love to see tropical fruit. I had three 🥭 tree I had two the other had one the big one is still in the pot hopefully as time go by they'll get bigger and bare more fruit thanks 😊
I really like what you and Gary Gragg are doing with these “field trip” style videos. I live less than a mile away from the plumeria tree you two showcased a while back, and I find myself driving a few blocks out of my way every so often just to see how I the plumeria’s doing. I find myself keeping an eye out for local tropicals when I’ve driving around town so that I can drive by and see how they look during our winters. Don’t know if you’re much into ginger, but there is a really nice variegated shell ginger in the Morris Nursery parking lot. About 8 feet tall, and it produces plenty of flowers which is something most local gardeners think is impossible here.
@@TropicalGardenGuy Its in a sort of display garden area with a gazebo in the front of the parking lot. Gets shade most of the day. The recent heat wave has fried the flower spikes, but I could see the dried remains of 4 or 5 flower spikes on the plant. I’ve never understood why ginger isn’t more popular as a landscape option here. The flowers usually last for 5-6 weeks and most varieties handle our cold just fine. Even those that don’t will die back to the ground and come back in the spring. All they need is shade and plenty of water. They are sort of like a more tropical looking version of the canna that can take shade and won’t usually die back in the winter. But the only ginger you ever see in the nurseries and garden centers around here is the variegated shell ginger. No shampoo gingers or beehive gingers. I think they’d be really popular here if people saw them in bloom.
That is my whole channel in a nutshell! People either dont know that you can grow wonderful things here or dont have access to the exotic plants! My goal is to influence folks to try!
We often talk about the advantage of planting next to a south facing wall, but those trees are so big that at some point they are negating that advantage by blocking the sun from reaching the wall. What these trees have going for them is a nice black asphalt parking lot a foot from their trunk. I think these trees are a great example of how hardscape like walkways or stone mulch can often have just as much of an impact as a south facing wall or overhead cover. It suggests that those of us here in the Valley wanting to grow mango may have more options than just southern facing locations near the house or a wall. A west facing wall with overhead cover may be sufficient for some of the tougher mango varieties. Or maybe even an east facing exposure with overhead protection and some form of heat sink like a stone much, pavement or large boulders.
I agree, the canopy is so large that it created its own green house. Even if it suffered repeated hard freezes, the dead leaves would protect the main trunk
@@TropicalGardenGuy One thing I have always wondered is the extent to which a swimming pool or large pond can serve as a heat sink. I know people use 50 gallon water barrels to create heat sinks in greenhouses. I guess the challenge would be to keep that heat from escaping into the night sky. I have to think a cold tender tree planted close to a pool or pond would enjoy some level of frost protection, but I haven’t been able to find much discussion on this issue. A strange thing since you can find discussions of almost anything online these days…
I think to help, you need something overhead to keep trapped heat from escaping… like the canopy of the mango tree did. Other wise the heat just escapes. I have stucco fences, on cold nights their temps, measured by hand held ir thermometer is at air temp or slightly less due to any heat escaping to the clear sky above.
@@TropicalGardenGuy This is what makes the trailer park plumeria you and Gary featured so intriguing. It is planted next to the south side of a mobile home and it has a stone much, but it has no overhead canopy, and come wintertime, it has no leaves to help contain any heat from the trailer or stone mulch. I will have to drive by the tree this winter to see if the property owner does anything special to protect the tree. The plumeria is much too large to dig up during its dormant stage. It has clearly been in ground for years. I would have thought that impossible without overhead protection to protect the plumeria from the damp and cold. But seeing is believing.
🥭🥭There are a few big Mangos growing in Southern California , however north of the Grapevine they hard to find. Hard to believe , but these huge Mango trees are producing delish Mangos in Central Northern California without any freeze protection!… Hit the subscribe button so you dont miss a video! Have a great Day!
Cool mangoes Jeff - growing Mangoes in Pots is far easier in Melbourne Australia 9b than growing in ground - my in ground take forever. I have been able to graft a Kensington Pride to its own pot grown fruit from a grafted tree and have also grafted King Thai to a Honey Gold seedling - i have fruit on the former of both grafted KP branch and seedling branch we call Bowen when fruiting as seedling from Kensington Pride fruit
Inspirational video 📹 🙌. My mangos & Avocados hold up to my lite winter weather here in Hayward zone 10a. Hopefully i can get my mango to get that big!
This is amazing I just picked a bunch of Thai mango from my tree. Only a fraction of the size of these tree. I hope my tree will get to this size one day
Yes I know, I saw a video of one. I think Portugal temps are simular to California. Maybe your lowest yearly temp is warmer.. we see below 32f, 9 out of 10 years here in z9b
How big were they when he planted them? I have a couple mangos I will bring in for the first couple winters than plant. Not sure the best time here in Northern CA.
Hey, great vid as always. from your experience, do you think mango trees could thrive and fruit in a Mediterranean climate? (I'm located in Tangier, Morocco).
@@TropicalGardenGuy I'd say we've got the same climate a Southern Spain. It says our lowest yearly temp is 47°F in January (our coldest month). I've personally never witnessed any temp lower than 42°F.
Mine are Manila seedlings which do produce true to seed. If its another type of seedling, you’ll have to graft it or buy an already grafted one online. I got my Manila Mango at lowes, If they dont have in stock they can special order for you at the store nursery.
@@TropicalGardenGuy oh my gosh thank you so much for that info. I'll go check Lowes and see if they have any or to order a couple. I have couple Mango seeds I planted and they are about 12 inches long. This will be their second winter coming up, however I don't remember the variety. I got the Mango at grocery stores. I love watching your videos thanks for taking the time to share with us.
When you divide the state between north and south, Fresno is definitely in Northern California . Its east of the Monterey Bay. If we want to be a little clearer, Everything south of the grapevine is Northern Cal, From Bakersfield to Redding is The Central Valley . The Central Valley has almost the same temps varying only a degree or 2. This said, I have noticed over the over the past 20 years, the Area of California between Pismo Beach to Santa Cruz as being the “ Central Coast “ and from Fresno to Modesto as “Central California”, Both are accurate,
I am sorry I didn’t see any mangoes….I mean worth talking about it….such a big tree and no mangoes…I bought 5 mangoes 2 pounds each about 7 years ago I planted the seeds and I ended up with two trees about 5 feet tall …only one time I got a big mango which i ate and it was so sweet ….every year my trees have fruits but they all fall off before they’re get any bigger than a golf ball…I have seen Manila mango trees around here in SoCal…I don’t want Manila mangoes….I can buy those for 50 cents each at the Mexican market…anyways I don’t know if seeds are a good idea or is it better to buy a grafted tree if I can find one ….I would rather air layer a mango tree…at least I would know if the tree is fruiting….
My Manila mango is still young and shaded. But it does fruit. Manila isn’t the best mango for sure, but a couple dozen fruit is better than no fruit imo🌴😎🌴

Cool mangoes Jeff - growing Mangoes in Pots is far easier in Melbourne Australia
9b than growing in ground - my in ground take forever. I have been able to graft
a Kensington Pride to its own pot grown fruit from a grafted tree and have also
grafted King Thai to a Honey Gold seedling - i have fruit on the former of both
grafted KP branch and seedling branch we call Bowen when fruiting as seedling from
Kensington Pride fruit
Mine seem better in ground, maybe our treated water affects trees in pots?
Wow! So there is chance it can grow in Los Banos..🤔🤔
There’s a chance!
Wow amazing 😮
I agree, gives me hope!
Inspirational video 📹 🙌. My mangos & Avocados hold up to my lite winter weather here in Hayward zone 10a. Hopefully i can get my mango to get that big!
Sounds great!
Nice looking trees, perfect microclimate against that wall. I'd be surprised if he bothers to feed trees that size.....
My thoughts exactly
Dats some big mango tress🤤
I’m agreed!
This is amazing I just picked a bunch of Thai mango from my tree. Only a fraction of the size of these tree. I hope my tree will get to this size one day
Sounds good!
We have in Portugal at 40.2º LATITUDE in Coimbra city big mango tree like this. But the winters are more warm...
Yes I know, I saw a video of one. I think Portugal temps are simular to California. Maybe your lowest yearly temp is warmer.. we see below 32f, 9 out of 10 years here in z9b
Interesting location for those large, fruiting Mango trees. How did you find them?
I am a plant nerd. I have plant nerd connections.
How big were they when he planted them? I have a couple mangos I will bring in for the first couple winters than plant. Not sure the best time here in Northern CA.
He didn’t say. I’ll have to ask him when I do a more thorough follow up video
Any way I could buy one grafted tree from that tree? What would you charge or bud wood?
It’s a Manila mango, you can often find them at lowes
Mango trees grow big like the size of a house. And some people are allergic to the sap and get a rash.
Agreed
Hey, great vid as always. from your experience, do you think mango trees could thrive and fruit in a Mediterranean climate? (I'm located in Tangier, Morocco).
Yes…. But depends on your lowest yearly temp. I know they grow them commercially in Spain , Israel and Egypt!
@@TropicalGardenGuy I'd say we've got the same climate a Southern Spain. It says our lowest yearly temp is 47°F in January (our coldest month). I've personally never witnessed any temp lower than 42°F.
What Mango Variety would Grow in Sacramento?
A good one to try is Manila.
If that does well, graft others
Where in fresno ca are the mango trees? I want to see it in person
At a hotel near the zoo along highway 99
I’m too worried to put my grafted mango in the ground. Seedlings seem to be a must for in-ground planting here.
hmmm, I donno for sure though I have a seedling Manila in my yard doing just fine
Are your Mango trees grafted? Can Mango trees be airlayered? Any recommendations on how to make it to bare fruit? In Merced County.
Mine are Manila seedlings which do produce true to seed. If its another type of seedling, you’ll have to graft it or buy an already grafted one online. I got my Manila Mango at lowes, If they dont have in stock they can special order for you at the store nursery.

Plz check this video on which mangoes grow true to seed.

Hi Jeff, could you tell the address of the place? I want to drop by when I have a chance. I am living in Castro Valley.
I promised that I wouldn’t say. But Its not exactly hidden,
@@TropicalGardenGuy That's OK. I understand.
👍
Where is it
In my yard?
Fresno is Northern California?

Were can i find a tree please
Lowes and Home Depot sells them in spring and summer
@@TropicalGardenGuy thank you my wonderfull friend
Which variety of the mangoes are those?
Hi Nima, The old guy called them Mexican and Indian Mangos
I think he mentioned the variety a couple of times… check it out!
Oh yea i did!
The Indian one was Kesar
I am sorry I didn’t see any mangoes….I mean worth talking about it….such a big tree and no mangoes…I bought 5 mangoes 2 pounds each about 7 years ago I planted the seeds and I ended up with two trees about 5 feet tall …only one time I got a big mango which i ate and it was so sweet ….every year my trees have fruits but they all fall off before they’re get any bigger than a golf ball…I have seen Manila mango trees around here in SoCal…I don’t want Manila mangoes….I can buy those for 50 cents each at the Mexican market…anyways I don’t know if seeds are a good idea or is it better to buy a grafted tree if I can find one ….I would rather air layer a mango tree…at least I would know if the tree is fruiting….

But it does fruit.
Manila isn’t the best mango for sure, but a couple dozen fruit is better than no fruit imo🌴😎🌴
I want buy you some mangos
Sorry I dont sell things. Im just a home gardener.
