Imagine if he were choosing for eye appeal and storage life instead of flavor, i.e., from a commercial perspective. Most of these new varieties would be eliminated. So it's even more amazing that he, a wholesale nursery owner, would undertake such a project. Just for the love of mangos!

Yea, love is a truly strange thing, tops reason. I believe we have forum members growing mango outdoors in GA.
That's feeling.

The Phoenix is a great mango as I got my first and only fruit from my tree
Sweet and sour like a sweet tart only smoother which allowed other goodness to come through
A top ten mango imo

I believe the comment about 6-foot spacing is approximately correct, and some, may have been even closer, per what I saw.
That land also has lychees, longans, carambolas, etc., and many very large old-variety mango trees.
