Socal Mega Mangos

[JF]

Coachella 3lb Keitt vs 4lb St Maui. I went to Whole Foods this evening and bought this organic California Keiitt. I've tried these throughout the years and wasn't impress. my St Maui had dropped earlier I wanted to match it up against a big 2lb Edward I have ripening but I figure this was a better match since they are both huge.

Those st. maui mangoes are huge, good for you, are the California mangoes truly superior to florida grown mangoes or vice versa

No. South Florida grows the best mangos.
