When i was new to this forum i also wanted to have all those variety's. I went out to the shops here in Thailand and have been asking for them for weeks (in my best Thai language). Of course nobody understood what i was asking for because they are only in the USA. That was a big waste of my time.
Sorry to hear that, bangkok. From what I read on the forum, Thailand has phenomenal cultivars, and I hope you got a good collection of those.
Yes i also heard that, i have a great collection but for the Thai mango's there are still many i never tried. Maybe i did try them but don't know what variety it was. On the markets they only write the variety in Thai characters which i can't read.
So far the only sweet ones i know are: NDM-green and gold, okrung tung, keaw, keo savoei, chokanon, sam rue do, mahachanok.
Then there are many mango's who are eaten green, some are very good as well.
According to my wife there are also great wild mango's from the past. They are getting rare now and i've never seen them for sale in Bangkok.
Some mango fruitsellers have new or rare variety's for sale but won't mention their price, then i won't buy them no matter what they cost. Maybe i should start buying those to get a taste of the rare/new ones but if they see my white skin they think they won the jackpot and ask extraordinary prices. I sure can afford that but it is just a game they want to play and i refuse to play that game. They play that game in every shop and i got tired of it.
If those Zills mango's are really good then soon they will be all over the place here, legal or illegal. I allready grow several mango's i have never tasted myself. I sure believe that Americans can develop good variety's but that Tommy Atkins story makes me chuckle and sarcastic.
I will make a picture of those advertisings if i see them again.
