    Good question, rf.

    There are a bunch of excellent nurseries just off the autopista between Juan Santamaria Aeropuerto and Grecia at the La Garrita exit. If you’re coming from the airport (maybe ten kilometers), take the exit and turn right. You’ll see Central nursery immediately, but if you keep going (toward Alajuela) for a very few kilometers, you’ll see a dozen more.

    How about the BEST Mango tree?
    Here in Florida there are several types of mangos to pick from.
    Does anybody know what is the best, juciest, sweetest varity that we can plant in Costa Rica is?

    Suggest that you find the area in Florida that has the closest climatic conditions to the area where you plan to plant your Mango in Costa Rica, find out what is the best mango for that area in FL and then check with the nurseries in CR if that particular mango is grown in Costa Rica. Also tour the nurseries (this is presupposing a rudimentary command of Spanish) and talk to people, ask the staff what the best plant for your area is, usually there is nothing a nurseryman likes more than to talk about his plants!
    Let us know what you find out.
