Tradewinds is great - many fruit descriptions, and many types of seeds
available.  If I'm trying to cheat my USDA zone by one or two, thus taking a
risk, I'd rather spend a few bucks on seeds than much money on having a
plant shipped.  

Of course, one has to accept the unpredictability of germination and
variety...

So, as I segue into my question: mango seed won't suffice for an experiment,
the tree is likely to be too sensitive, and failng that, too tall.  I'm
looking for a flavorful semi-dwarf variety that could take some cool
weather.  I'm thinking maybe Fairchild or Mallika.  

Any zone 9b mango growers out there?  Of course I can plant in container and
take inside for winter; but with some plants I have better success putting
them in the ground and letting them deal with the cool winter weather.
