I prefer the taste of E-4
Quote from: MangoCountry on July 26, 2020, 07:32:31 AMI prefer the taste of E-4 I have heard that E-4 has a longer flavor window then M4. I hope M4 is not difficult to determine when to pick for Peak flavor as others have said about peach cobbler.
I have also not had M-4.....but E-4 is absolutely ridiculous. Best mango on my property and the only one that I have multiple trees planted out. And its out of the question to graft anything else onto them

And its out of the question to graft anything else onto themE-4 is rocking the forum and rocking the mango-tasting videos. Even though I consider Pickering to be THE MOST FOOLPROOF mango tree, I'm starting to think I should throw caution to the wind and plant E-4 instead when I get a new house.
E4 Sugar loaf is just like a pina colada taste, get a tree now and plant it later, since it is a slow grower.
Gonna finally get to taste some M4's in a day or so and then I'll let you know how I feel about them...Suagrloaf was fantastic and I had an unripe one but that was the only one I tried so far.Phoenix was amazing had a bunch so far.M4 is on the platter for tomorrow and the next day.
It’s a shame so many of you haven’t had M-4. It’s a special mango.

I took this photo back in May. This particular tree still has plenty of fruit on it, as do several other M-4s:

Pina colada!!! No I'm not happy mango seasons is over way too early! I know Tropical Acres Farms provides consultations but I need counseling
...even if m4 is alternate bearing, I could deal with that. Too soon to tell with grafted trees in different regions and growing conditions.Going to baby mine and treat her nice.Found some local Keitts today. If they are even decent, going back tomorrow.

Hmmmmm! Late season or longer peak flavor. M-4 or E-4 2020 Coconut King that is the Question???
EZ, get both!

Is E4 more forgiving in when to know when to pick? Does it have a longer flavor window? Is M4 like a Mallika in that you pick it green and let it ripen at room temperture for a 7 to 10 days? Does it turn different shades of green as a indicator?
