🥭 From our Valencia Pride tree that you saw in earlier video came this giant double mango - two fruits fused into one! On the outside it looked bizarre, but the real surprise came when we cut it open. Want to see what a twin mango looks like inside? Watch the video and find out!

Dog refused to play Santa - her reaction says everything

Mango the Christmas Dog

🎅 Dog refused to play Santa - her reaction says everything



🎄 Christmas moment



Mango the Dog really tried to be festive! The Santa hat went on, slipped off, went back on, slipped again...
She sat there looking guilty, like she personally ruined Christmas... We forgave her. Obviously.

🐕 Mango's Christmas story



Mango is a black lab - loving, gentle, and loyal to her core.
One cool November night, she showed up at our gate and stayed there all night, waiting for someone to come back for her. No one did. We tried to find her family with no luck. So Mango stayed with us at TopTropicals with our rescued #PeopleCats.

When we took Mango to the vet for shots, we discovered she was pregnant! Maybe that is why she was left behind?

Right before Christmas, on December 17, 2022, Mango gave us eight beautiful puppies. Some stayed with TopTropicals - Sunshine, Draco, and Lilo - and the others went to close friends. They still come back to visit, and every year we get a full Mango family reunion.

🎁 Sometimes the best gifts show up quietly, wait patiently, and never leave.
Happy Holidays! Hope Santa brings you what you want!

Healthy Plants: Q&A from Mr Booster

How to prevent mango flowers drop

Q:The mango blossoms my tree had in February have blown off due to weather conditions. Do you know what I can do to prevent this from happening again in the future?

A: The only "guarantee" to protect mango flowers from cold weather damage here in Florida is to plant a LATE flowering variety. Generally, mango trees are winter bloomers. Those varieties called "early season" start flowering in January (for example, Nam Doc Mai), and of course very often they get affected by cold, so they drop. Some varieties are so called "late season" - for example Venus. They start flowering in spring when the weather conditions are more favorable.
Another thing that may help you with mango flower drop is applying plant micro-element supplement Sunshine-Honey - it contains Molybdenum and Boron, which help flower and fruit development/strength and prevent their drop.

What is the biggest mango fruit?

Mango Kiew Yai

🥭 What is the biggest mango fruit?



🔍 We discovered one of the biggest Mango fruit after we planted this new variety - Kiew Yai.

Right now the fruit is almost a foot long!



⏳ The tree was planted in April - only 3 months ago.

😋 Looking forward to tasting it soon and sharing our taste impressions with you. Stay with us!

⬆️ Reminder: In order to have good quality fruit, your Mango tree must be grafted. Grafted varieties start fruiting right away, while seedlings may take from 7 to 10 years to fruit and the taste of the seedling's fruit will always be a surprise, they may be small in size and very fibrous.

Wise Mango - a smart choice for flavor lovers: sweet, juicy, and Florida-tough

Mango Wise tree with fruit on it

🌈 Wise Mango - a smart choice for flavor lovers: sweet, juicy, and Florida-tough.

🥭 Mango Wise is a forgotten gem from the golden age of mango breeding in South Florida. Originating in Miami during the post-1930s boom of cultivar development, it was once part of a wave of exciting new introductions. Over time, many of these excellent varieties faded from commercial propagation, despite having outstanding eating qualities. Wise stands out with its nearly round fruit, minimal to no fiber, and rich, juicy sweetness. It's a smart, flavorful choice that deserves a comeback in Florida gardens.
