It seems we will not be able to supply enough mangos this week to meet all of the demand for them. The season for our Nam Doc Mai is almost over, and we no longer have Florigon, Glenn, Lemon Meringue, Cogshall, Julie, Edward, Rosa, Haden, Baptiste, Tess Pollock, and DuPuis Saigon. While we will have some Jakarta, Duncan, Gary and Nam Doc Mai, etc., other varieties are not yet ready to harvest. We expect our harvests to increase dramatically in 2-3 weeks.
This Saturday there will be many dehydrated mango snacks available. In addition to the mango roll-ups will be savory mango treats which contain seeds, rice and spices.
Also we might have Jak Fruit.

Notes on our Fruit Trees and Expected Harvest
Thank you for visiting yesterday! It was wonderful to see so many new customers and so many familiar faces. Unfortunately our supply of fruit did not quite meet demand, mostly because some of our core varieties have already finished fruiting and other core varieties are not yet ready to pick.
Typically our mango season begins in late April with a few early-season varieties, peaks in late June and ends in late August/early September. 2013 has been a weird year. The weather this past winter confused many of our trees. Several varieties have been at least a month ahead of normal while others seem to be on a typical schedule.
Here's my best guess on availability of our mangos and other fruit...
Mango
Finished for the year
Rosa
Florigon
Philippine (did not fruit this year)
Dwarf Hawaiian
Baptiste
DuPuis Saigon
Julie
Page
Available now and another crop possible in 1 1/2 to 2 months

Bailey's Marvel (very few remain of first crop)
Edward (limited supply)
Jakarta

Main crop available in 1 1/2 to 2 months
Kent
Southern Blush
Bombay (small crop this year)
Alfonso (very small crop this year)
Palmer (very small crop this year)
Pram Kai Mea (very small crop this year)
Petegrew (extremely small crop)
Graham
Cushman
Neelum
Keitt (will probably last into September)
Zill (possibly slightly earlier)
Best
(Several varieties not mentioned because they are being evaluated, in the process of being grafted over to another vaiety, or not yet in production.)
Other Fruit
Available now or very soon and for the next month or more
Jak Fruit
Black Sapote
Mamey Sapote
Tamarind
Sapodilla
Flowering now (with estimated harvest)
Carambola (end of July-early September)
Sugar Apple (end of July-end of August)
Atemoya (end of August-end of September)

Small Fruit on Trees now

**We are hoping weather or other circumstance does not affect our anticipated harvest.

Quick Update
We will be open on Memorial Day ....noon - 2pm
Tomorrow we will have a lot of the very popular Nam Doc Mai. Many other varieties will be represented including Florigon, Valencia Pride, Pim Seng Mun. Cogshall and Glenn will not be available. Our next major mango will be Valencia Pride. We have a few fruit from one Valencia Pride tree, but we do not have significant quantities of that variety yet. The amount of fruit available for sale tomorrow will be moderate, but supply should be better soon.

Because of the Sun Sentinel article on May 12, many people have been trying to buy fruit all week. Please accept my sincere apologies for having such limited hours. Growing so many varieties of mangos makes harvesting and set-up very time consuming, and we simply don't have time to be open more.
