Hey Guys,
Been busy so posting these pics and random notes way later than I wanted too, but hope the pics help at least.
Orange Sherbet
Like everything else opinions vary but imo LZ > LM > OS ....Os has less lemon and less cream flesh texture which is more on par with a gel like NDM. I prefer the creamy flesh, had a few of these OS from mango men, one I brought to work to taste with co workers, pulled it from the fridge and it was delish chilled. Don’t usually eat my mangos chilled but when chilled it tastes even more like sherbet ha. OS poly seed.
Alampur Banashan
Thought this mango was delish, from tropical acres, really reminded me of ice cream mango which is one of my top fav mangos. About same size, pale flesh, cream like texture, and resinous. Mono seed.
Big Saturn
Wasn’t too crazy about this mango, supposedly a Tommy Atkins hybrid with ZINC notes, large like San Felipe, side by side almost identical, fiberless, thick skin, but wasn’t blown away, from mango men. Poly seed.
From Zill Hyperformance plants: some diamond: interesting mango seems like an Asian hybrid in shape, though reminded me of madame Frances/Alphonse straight mango flavor with a NyQuil cough syrup resin aftertaste, laugh at this until you try it is funky strange but uniqueness has grown on me. Seeds look mono but will know for sure once the ones I’m germinating sprout, sorry no pics, yellow mango.
Fruit cocktail, these were meh, maybe bad year? Some syrup or essence of a plastic cup fruit cocktail notes but I wouldn’t go out of my way to grow this, taste buds vary but try this before you buy the tree I think is a good approach, as there are much better mangos.
Lil gems, meh.
