As soon as one of you fools offer the same knowledge and insight as Rob does into this forum, then you too will have the right to be a dick! The amount of help he offers all of us is nuts... if you live in South Florida he is available at either Excalibur or Walter's place to help with just about anything needed related to fruit and fruit trees. He has personally helped me more times then I can count! 
Thank you Rob, keep up the good work!

12' for the sweet tart is probably too big for me to consider. Since I'm in 9b and have to frost protect in winter, anything over 8' doesn't tend to make it through the winter. I am actually planning to add Honey Kiss as I've heard it can be maintained small. Anyone got comments on what they taste like mature green?

The nice compact mango tree list here http://tropicalfruitforum.com/index.php?topic=17443.0 does have Edgar on it as well. Anyone know how they taste mature green?

skhan, thanks for the reminder about Nam Doc Mai 4! That might be a good choice for me. Are the Bram Kea Mun and Keo Savoy similar in tree size to Nam Doc Mai 4? How would you describe their flavor differences? So hard to know what variety I experienced in Thailand that I liked so much!



Not sure how they taste green but ripe they are amazing! tree can be kept around 8-feet with proper pruning. and a somewhat slow grower...trust me you wont be disappointed

Honey Kiss appears to be a mid to late and easy to keep small in my yard.

Honey Kiss appears prone to jelly seed.


Never had jelly seed on any of my Honey Kiss

Chintalala is a mutation of a mamey sapote (I forget which cultivar). The fruits are small, about the size of a small canistel, but packed with flavor. The tree produces twice a year, in spring and fall. As with other mutations (eg, the variegated guavaa), some branches revert back to the non-mutated version.

The fruit is only known in El Salvador as far as I know, and even in El Salvador it's not widely known. It was one of the best tasting mameys that I've had. I brought back budwood and grafted to a green sapote rootstock that I happened to have laying around. All grafts took and are doing quite well :-). In a few years I should have some chintalala fruits :-). I'm curious to see if it performs the same here in FL.



Jeff I know this is old but did your Chintalala ever fruit? and if so was/is it the same?

You can just cut it down to 4 feet or so and then you can keep it under control

It’s Seacrest. They decided to change the name.

The names are getting worse and worse. Seacrest was an excellent name.


AGREED 100%
