Keep in mind what it does in Florida may not be true for Hawaii.Guava - early to mid (May to early/mid July)Orange Sherbet - mid (mid/late June to early August)Phoenix- mid (mid/late June to August)O-15 mid (July)P-22 mid to early part of late (July and into August)These times are not always set in stone. You can have some varying times, give or take either side, based on climate and flowering times.
This is super helpful. Do you mind sharing the season for E-4/Sugarloaf please.
E-4 (I dont like the name Sugarloaf) for the most part is a mid season where the month of July is its sweet spot. I have seen it ripen in the later part of June and the early part of August.

I planted Guava as my early, E4 as my mid season, and Venus as my late(r)..tough finding a late season one that produces reliably, resistant to MBBS, with exceptional taste (Venus will get MBBS but at that point I'm hoping other late season varieties may be available to graft on my tree).

More like an August fruit (I have seen them ripen at various time, some even in July). There is not much that is a true late late mango that rings the bell as having the "wow factor." For an August fruit, I would go with Peach Cobbler.
As to Peach Cobbler, I cant comment on if it truly need more cold stimulus to flower. I do know that the trees due need to have mate maturity to them before the set fruit, approximately 4-5 years. At my old house, my tree set its first crop, albeit small, at four years of age. The following year it set a very nice crop.It does seem to not be affected by MBBS.
