Citrus series Mangoes Taste Report
« on: June 22, 2018, 12:09:06 PM »
All these mangoes are top tier. Thanks, Zill family for all your hard work and dedication.

PPK- Excellent flavor and taste.  Taste nothing like a mango. Very less mango flavor, sweet smooth lemony treat,
The tree-Dark green canopy with light green mangoes have some ornamental values.
one complaint I heard is not Jucey at all.

Lemon Zest- More orange flavor than the lemon, very sweet, bigger mangoes than ppk.

Orange sherbert- Orange flavor mixed with sweet Mango flavor. Taste similar to LZ, but more Mango flavor in it.

Xeswan - A lemon Zest seedling - Most likely the sweetest mango I ever tasted. No lemon or orange flavor. Classic mango flavor with slight papaya taste.  big mango compared to lemon Zest. -A Walter Zill Creation. I don't think I spell the name correct.

Orange Essense- A superior mango than its parent Kent. Classic mango flavor with an orange taste near the skin.

The PPK, Po Pyu Kalay, is from Myanmar (Burma), and it was brought to Florida from Burma by Maurice Kong.

Yes Thank You for the report!! I’ve been wondering about most of these..The Xeswan I had last year was delicious, I think Walter said it translated to “White Jade”.(I didn’t know they were going to release it either)

This bodes well for the 'searching for off type from Zill poly mango' projects.

Here's a recent shot of someone that was hosted by him on a Mango facebook I belong to.  Said to be the most earthy, kindest, fine man around. 

Not wishing to show off his Schwarzenegger bod, he's a bit bashful too.  :D



Thanks for the report........

OK - So which one tasted the best?
Blessed be the man who plants a tree knowing he will never live to enjoy it's fruit or shade.
