Jeff - I would reconsider the Kent. Has too many issues and not that good IMO. I REALLY like the Coc also .
I agree on edgar and Coc--both quality mangos!

Parentage is Edward x Gary
1 - Chintalala (salvadoran mamey sapote mutation)
Chintalala is a mutation of a mamey sapote (I forget which cultivar). The fruits are small, about the size of a small canistel, but packed with flavor. The tree produces twice a year, in spring and fall. As with other mutations (eg, the variegated guavaa), some branches revert back to the non-mutated version.The fruit is only known in El Salvador as far as I know, and even in El Salvador it's not widely known. It was one of the best tasting mameys that I've had. I brought back budwood and grafted to a green sapote rootstock that I happened to have laying around. All grafts took and are doing quite well :-). In a few years I should have some chintalala fruits :-). I'm curious to see if it performs the same here in FL.
Totally identical to mamey sapote. Only difference is that the fruit are ripe after only growing for a few months.
Does "COC" mean anything, as in "COC mango?"
Thanks, Carlos. One question: where do I find a utuado for sale?
I'm replacing a good portion of that nasty lime rock with real soil. Having a guy with heavy machinery coming in a few days.
