hi how can I get this mango tree to Zanzibar
what is the difference between using mulch and using compost on top of ground under trees?
would JuJubes grow in Southern California, Coachella Valley (low desert) ?
Shamus's trees are THE BEST available in the area. I purchased a Carrie Mango, Barbados Cherry, Aravapai Avacado and Brewster Lychee. All are of AMAZING quality.
I have mangos, dragon fruit, and blue java banana growing in Las Vegas. So far, surviving very well.
I'm growing Avocados, Mangos,Guanabana, Sugar Cane, Barbados Cherry, Coffee and many more tropical trees and plants from Shamus. I'm in Tucson and everything is doing amazing. He recently moved to a larger property which means They will be able to carry even more trees.
cool
Can't wait to pick up my pre-ordered trees from Shamus. I got a Coconut Cream mango and Acerola Cherry. Might have to pick up more trees when I get there.
Which mangoes will be best for Vegas? I would love to go there and buy some trees

DUDE! What's wrong with you guys! That is no way or how to eat MANGOs
Oh, the shame of it all :(
thanks for visiting phoenix im glad too see others are noticing our unique climate.
Shamus rocks!! Great healthy trees with great success.
Where can I buy coconut cream mango?????
John and Shamus are right. Fruit trees are forgiving and you can grow more if you have micro-climates in higher hardiness zones. I have a Pineapple guava tree, a Pomegranite tree an Asian pear tree and a Satsuma Mandarin. The Asian Pear is still not transplanted after two years sitting on my back SE facing enclosed patio that gets full sun and is protected from the wind on all sides. I'm in zone 8A but my patio may be 8B or even 9A.
I've been hesitating planting them in the clay ground soil here in northern SC.
I thought the Asian pear wouldn't make it through last summer. (In fact it is still sitting in its 3.5 gallon pot I bought it in.). This spring it began to produce fruit. Today noticing some ants on one of the pieces of fruit, I decided to pick it and drown the ants. After washing and biting into it, I was in heaven. It had to have been 100 if not 1000 times sweeter than the most expensive Asian Pear I'd ever tasted that I'd bought in a store…and I hadn't even taken proper care of it. No wonder the ants were all over it. I think a big difference is that my Asian Pear Fruit had the benefit of full sun and I ate them ripe picked freshly from the tree. John isn't exaggerating at all about the taste difference eating ripe fruit freshly picked off the tree vs. unripe fruit you get from the store. There is no comparison. EVERYONE should try growing a fruit tree so they can experience the taste sensation!!!
