That is the problem with mangoes. They are good but if you have a tree it’s going to be far too many and you can’t give them away

My wife and I have given them to friends and family over the years, some come by and pick them up from the house. I've on occasion let my son set up on the road to sell'em.

I don’t know if my wife agrees, but I don’t mind Kenneth cuddling with him. I have to be there though... while we’re at it we can have a bite to eat at Son Cubano in North Bergen and hangout in Edgewater.

I have 6 five star excellent mango trees, all fiberless and top notch ... this is a Beverly, my late season variety.

Had a mango and avocado tree in our back yard when I was a kid. Not sure what type the mangoes were but they were bigger than the one in your pic and had a lot of red peel. Used to pick the avacados off the tree and eat them like apples. FL avacados are way better than the Haas.

This is my current curse. A tree that machine guns the ground with mangoes. Hurricane last year did me a favor and knocked one down. A gift and a curse.

I have a friend that lives in Homestead who has a bunch of different avocado trees and gives be fruit all the time. However, Haas avocados because of their texture and flavor make the best guacamole. I've tried to make it with the large type Florida fruit and it doesn't come out the same.

I prefer the FL sliced and eat "raw". It's also difficult to determine when they're ripe. Have to agree that the Haas are better in guacamole. I believe the Haas are what most Mexican restaurants use for their guac.
