Glad you were able to Atleast try the fruit sucks to leave behind a tree you saw grow and hadn’t fruited and when it finally did you sold your house. My providence is on the same boat Waiting for it to fruit maybe 3 years in ground so far and nothing.
it’s and awesome fruit. It has a distinct note I always thought maybe it was the one people taste in Jakarta.
Which now makes sense it’s similar to Kent as to it seems Kent is the parent of both Jakarta and providence Atleast according to diagram Someone posted the other day. Guess I should try some Kent mangos never have.
So you're thinking I didn't really eat these mangos, Viraldonutz? Elaborate. Oh wait, never mind. You were saying that YOU are not writing a real review, just making a comment. My old brain froze up there!
Ok, let me tell you my Providence story. My family--parents, sister, and I--first started eating mangoes way back in the 1970's when shipping from Mexico to L.A. became popular. Out of Kent, Haden, Keitt, Irwin, and Tommy Atkins we thought that Kent was the best. That's how I came to have an affinity for that flavor profile. Fast forward to 2015 when Walter Zill introduced me to Providence in Boynton Beach. I was favorably impressed by the Kent-like flavor so I planted a tree. This is not a precocious variety and didn't produce any fruit until this year. I had to beg the new owners of the house I sold in March for some of these mangos to sample, and they were generous enough to give me eight gigantic fruit--Kent on steroids!
