Yeah John, the one thing I dislike about honey kiss is its fruit size. Never tried a neelam mango.
Is “Lancitilla” still feasible? I’ve always heard mixed reviews and some call it a novelty Mango. I’ve heard it’s late season, giant and good. I’ve also heard it’s bad depending on the opinion.
I think M4 and cotton candy are supposed to be late. Never tried them but people that have said they are good.Can’t beat the old Keitt when it comes to late but it just stinks that it has MBBS or rot issues. Mine included.Bruce
Just to give you my own perspective on this, I gave the ax to my Neelam and Lancetilla, and am about to do the same to my Malika. The family consensus in all cases was poor flavor quality, especially the Neelam. Was it a result of poor timing as to ripening (especially the Malika)? Maybe, but if so, I don't want to have to be that fastidious about when I have to pick mangoes. I did pick the Malikas mature green. The Lancetilla was also too vigorous a tree for me.Anyway, I too am on a quest for the "perfect" late season mango. I'm leaning towards Honey Kiss, but keeping an open mind. I'll be heading to Excalibur next Saturday, so will make my decision by then.
