Tropical Fruit Discussion / Please help Identifying Mangoes
« on: July 20, 2021, 02:59:34 PM »
Hello, A client gave me these mangoes to try.  He planted the trees 8 or 9 years ago, and didn't know what varieties.  The long skinny ones I would guess are PPK based on the shape and flavor.  It was sweet with as citrus flavor to them. Maybe not as sweet as some PPK's I have had, but a good flavor. 

I have no clue with the ones that are more round.  They have a spice flavor to them which I haven't eaten many mangoes that have that flavor.  Only thing I have tried in that range in a Bombay, but these where different.  No resin flavor and not as sweet or powerful a flavor as a Bombay.  Good flavor just toned down vs a Bombay.

Any help would be appreciated.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Peach Cobbler Mango ripening
« on: June 29, 2020, 04:49:29 PM »
Hello

My peach cobbler mango tree has plenty of fruit this year.  I know it is difficult to tell when to pick, but unfortunately the raccoons are better at finding the ripe ones.  I am being out smarted.  I need to up my game quickly.  Any further advice of when to pick and when to eat.  I found this

It will go overripe quickly if allowed to start to turn soft on the tree. Harvest it green/firm when the color turns to a lighter shade.

Does it need to sit a few days to ripen off the tree?

Thank you.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Mango Soil Settled and level looks low
« on: February 06, 2015, 07:24:28 PM »
When I transplanted this mango the soil settled to reveal part of the root system.  Anybody had this happen before? Should I add soil until the level is back up to where it was or just leave it only?  Thank you

Hello all

I am looking to buy a Lemon Zest mango tree.  Where would be the best place to buy?

I live in the Orlando area, so mail order would probably be best.

Thank You
