As mango lovers, we'd like to add a tree to our yard. When we lived in Miami we had a mango tree in the yard that would yield some pretty large sized mangoes but pretty run mill generic mangoes I think, nothing special.
We're in Palm Beach now. We have the yard filled with coconut, banana, and pineapples but lacking a mango tree. Presently we have a large Florida Maple tree that would need to come down to make room for the mango.
So my question is what variety to grow? We only have room for one. I see lots of talk here about top tier mangoes such as LZ, OS, PPK, CC, etc. I never realized there were so many and of varying quality. I figure we need to taste some of these so I need to find where we can buy some. One other thing I'd like is for it to double as a shade tree for our picnic bench as our maple has once it gains size.
Anyways what are your thoughts on a choice for a mango tree if you could only choose one or which to avoid?
Thx
