$3 grafted mango trees

14 years ago

Hi all, I was in Costa Rica last week and stopped by a nursery to see what they had in stock. They had 4-5 different type of grafted mangos for 1500 Colones, about three US dollars! I knew here in California we were getting ripped off at $75-100 for a Mango tree. But I thought Florida was reasonable at $35. I guess if you want a really good deal on trees you need to go to Costa Rica and smuggle them back!

I did see Mangos growing in the wild that were 60-75 feet in diameter. Very big trees.

Wow...$3! That's just crazy cheap, unbelievable! But, never a good idea to smuggle anything into the country, but I'm sure you're kidding :o) Too many pesst and diseases that can really do some serious damage to our own fruit trees and plants. Guess we have NO choice but to pay the price here for healthy trees. Supply in demand I guess.

We in FL definitely have cheaper prices and a lot more selection that you guys in CA, but most things are more expensive in your State...I used to live there many years ago and I know first hand,lol...

Glad you got to see some really Tall and HUGE trees! I prefer them more around 8-12 ft so I can pick all the fruits with only a short ladder.

One of these days I'd love to visit Costa Rica...

OMG...that's just NOT fair!! Here I thought $3 was beyond crazy cheap...but $1 for a 5ft tree is just insane!

Yup, No more daydreaming, back to the real world. Thanks desimango!

Hey Mangodog!! Long time so see...How's all your mango trees doing?

Mine are all alive from this winter (very excited) and most of them are even fruiting!! Although, a light crop this year, I'm NOT complaining, some are better than none lol...
