Where do mangos grow in Europe?

Thursday, January 20th, 2011

Mango is not a strictly tropical tree. It grows better in areas with Subtropical climate because it needs a cooler winter for good fruiting. Mango trees do  grow and fruit in many areas of Europe with a Mediterranean Climate. Some varieties fruit better than others in cold climates.

Buy mango trees in Europe

In our internet shop you can purchase a wide selection of young mango trees of different varieties. They are all grafted on the cold-hardy rootstock Gomera-1. Canarius offers more than 20 varieties of grafted mango trees. We ship from the Canary Islands to your place the same grafted trees that are sold to local farmers , ready to go to the field: same plants, same size, same deep pots. The plants you purchase are at least 2 years old, because the root trees are grown for 1,5 years before grafting.

A shop for Cycas and Cycad plants in Europe. Some good reasons to choose Canarius.

Friday, January 7th, 2011
  1. All our plants are at least 2,5 years old. We ship no seeds, no 1- or 2-leaf seedlings, no bare-root plants. Our cycads are solidly rooted in the pot. Many of them have coralloid roots.
  2. We sprout our seeds. We don’t import and re-sell cycads. Our plants have no stress from a past importation from a remote county with a different climate.
  3. We use no greenhouse, except for seed sprouting. Our cycads are robust plants grown outdoors, with mere summer shading. They have shorter, stiffer leaves with better caudexes.
  4. We are not in a tropical climate. The Canary Islands have a mediterranean climate with a bit warmer temperatures. Plants will stop in winter. They grow in the right way thanks to this rest.
  5. Our plants are all LEGAL. Protected species, such as Ceratozamia and Lepidozamia have been started from seeds with official CITES papers.
  6. We offer the largest selection in Europe of Cycas. You can buy them in the Cycad Shop at www.canarius.com

Furcraea gigantea variegata in the nursery

Wednesday, December 22nd, 2010

Furcraea gigantea variegata is a spectacular ornamental plant for Mediterranean to Tropical climates.

When a specimen blooms, it produced a huge, tall structure with abundant flowers. Some months later, hundreds of aerial pups are produced on the inflorescence and they are collected for reproduction. A few, non-variegated (non-striped) plants are discarded and only the variegated plants are kept. Here you can see some small pups rooting in the nursery.  This picture was taken in Spring 2010.  Nine months later, these plants are ready for the market and average 40-50 cm in height.

These plants are NOW AVAILABLE ! – You can buy them in the Agave Section of our shop.
