4-5 Best Mango Varieties for Compactness, Flavor Profiles, and Extended Season

(1/20) > >>

I've decided to broaden this discussion.  If you could plant only 4 or 5 mango trees but wanted compact, healthy, productive varieties that would extend the season as much as possible and give you all different flavor profiles, which trees would you plant?

ORIGINALLY I WROTE:
Of the "new" Zill mango varieties are there any that are similar to Pickering and Carrie as far as being slow-growing, compact, and very easy to keep small?  I know that Honey Kiss might qualify.  Any others?  I've seen some photos of young M-4s where they look compact.  What about Sugarloaf?  Pina Colada isn't new, but it, too, seems to be on the small and compact side.

M4 seems compact so far for me, but now is starting to push upwards.

Sugar Loaf is going real nice for me. Really like the shape.

Great!  Thanks.  What are others observing about these and the other varieties?  The goal would be to keep them at 10-12 feet in a garden setting.
