Brokaw mango varieties - any thoughts

[CA Hockey]

I was at Laguna Hills Nursery recently and saw some new mango varieties that I had never heard of before. Gary told me they are from Brokaw nursery but I can't find any reviews or end-consumer information about the cultivars (taste, parentage, growth habit, rootstock, etc). They showed me a rating scale that the grower sent 😀.

There are a few varieties but I got Manila queen, edgehill, and placid which seemed to be the most highflying recommended of the bunch . I think there are least 2 others: 2022 and winters.

Anyone hear anything or have any experience with these types?

I wonder if Winters is Peggy Winters?

Again, like the little Timmy varieties, are these one offs or long term tested, observed and tried...

There is an old established variety called Winters.  Its parent is Ono (from Hawaii).

Yes Rob 20222 is winters an old variety that's popular in SoCal not to be confuse with Peggy winter's mango , SD CRFG member, who Leo Manuel has preserve and named Peggy.

I believe that the Edgehill variety was developed in the 60's-70's by CRFG founder Paul Thompson and was said to be one of his best selections.

Not close his T-1 is much better in the sweet tart class
