Hi Everyone - Here is what's happening in my yard in Palm Springs right now...

First up - My one year old Keitt plant - so far the most amazingly complex flavored mango:



Edward - in full flower - hope to get something from this shy bearer this year



And my new Kent, really sending out the blossoms:



This is Glenn - I discoverd the watering line had shifted to a dribble, so that's why it looks a bit dry. Anyone with artificial
watering systems - don't ever assume they are operating normally - got to check on them every so often...



MahaChinook - looking good and stiff!



This is what I know call "Backyard Manny" - my manila, the second one I got, that's been moved around a bit and finally settled in to this spot, now awaiting grafts to really spice her up! She's tall and lean, but with some sprouts near the ground - all great grafting points for the future



Rosigold - into her 4th year, with only one delightful fruit to show for it - every tree has a personality to go along with it's reputation doesn't it?



..and my little Pickering - so cute!



Alphonso is just a tiger - LOVES its location - Lordy I hope I get to taste some Indian mango this year!



Old Manny - from the roof - can't see them but a bunch of 1" inflos kicking out...



The 3-n-1: Nam Doc Mai, Haden and Valencia Pride. Tough to see but the Haden has a couple inflos and the VP as well - the NDM is going to be later, for sure...



And finally an All-n-One Almond (don't know what species that would be) but for the first year I got a bunch of flowers and you can see some almonds forming if you look closely(on the right upper side).....That Almond is a beautiful tree - look at the smooth bark - that trunk is going to be awsome...




That's all for now.....myamberdawg

Have you gotten any fruit from your Pickering yet? I have a tree that I planted last Spring and I am curious as to what they taste like. Some people say that they have a coconut flavor and other people say no.
I love coconut so I hope this is true. Another Mango that I want to get is called Coconut Cream, are you familiar with it?

Sure Mariolo - anytime!

Dauntless - will probably let the Pickering hold 2-3 fruit this year,
as it will be the second year I've had it now. And yes - the word is its an incredible tasting fruit with coconut overtones.....

Have heard of coconut cream, too...sounds yummy, eh?
