Edward II, fruit harvest.

Edward
I accidentally knocked the big fruit off the tree; while trying to move it. So I decided to harvest the other and put them into a bag with a pear to ripen it on the kitchen counter.
I think the black spots is anthracnose.
With the fruit off, I decided to transplant Edward into its new Geopot. I forgot to take photos of the transplant but there were a lot of roots in there. Very happy to see that my mango trees are happy in these pots.

Here are some of my mango trees moved onto my deck. It was windy and starting to get cold.
Started moving my other trees into a brighter area but I got cold and gave up when cloud cover took away the warmth of the sun.
More photos later.

Ate my first 'Glenn' mango!

Today I ate my Glenn Mango. I wasn't sure if it was ripe but I figured if it came off the tree easily, it must be ripe.
The color was lovely and inviting I have to say.
Eating it was a joy. The flavor wasn't very strong but it was sweet and the flesh totally fiberless!
The seed was small. No doubt due to the small size of the tree. I planted it and hope it will germinate.
Et Voilá!

First harvested mango of 2013

This mango came off my Glenn tree effortlessly. It smells nice, so I am wondering if its ripe. So very happy!
