It was a nice mild winter and my Keller Mango is doing very good. I'm hoping for a nice big crop this year. It's just starting to push out new flower stalks.

It's a seedling I grew so I gave it my last name. I don't know the parentage because a friend, Richard Gross, gave me the seedling. He said he found the seed in the trash. I'm still not sure if he was pulling my leg or not.

I have posted photos of the fruit in the forum the summer before last. Below is a link to it. I didn't have any fruit last summer because of the harsh winter. The fruit is fiberless and super sweet. I tried to grow some seeds from it but they didn't germinate. I'll try again in the future.

If the seed is polyembryonic then it might be a clone of a known variety. If its not then it is most likely an Indian Mango and unique. New leaves emerge "umbrella" style in rosettes, not alternating.
