    Satish,Yew and Randy I know it's so pricey try to get the smaller one at least it will take 2 to 3 years to bloom maybe less than that if the condition is suitable for them to grow.

    Yes through my experience this guy also like it make sure the broken branch is lasting at least 4 years you can use the "lempoyan" or longan branch minimal length is about one foot to accommodate the roots.

    The bane of all mango growers here - the attack by borers, the larvae of a beetle. Most trees attacke by the borers last only a few years The only mango variety that seems immune to the attack by these borers is the 'Sala' variety, now widely grown in Kedah. This variety of mango would make a suitable host tree for the orchids. Apart from this, it fruits the whole year round with quite large fruits 2 - 3 to a kilo. The fruits may not have the eating quality of 'Harum Manis' or 'Chok Kanan' but on a scale of 10, I would rate it a 6.5 . However, the green unripe fruit makes the best Nyonya kerabu, and of course Thai kerabu ( Thai hot, spicey salad of shredded green mango ) . It is also ideal for making mango juice - smooth, creamy and with a very 'mangoey' fragrance.
