I've now read the other comments on this forum (early 2010's) and other spots on the Internet that say the Young mango is bland and not worth growing.
...it is entirely possible that now after ten years of growing the tree that the fruit has improved? Sometime's mango does have a bad year in taste due to environmental conditions or age of tree.
I planted the
Tebow/young in 2009. ten years later. I really liked the fruit and its the first time I tasted it as it always got raped by rodents. I have given the tree zero care as well. No spray, no fertilizer, no water. Its on its own. Maybe that makes a diff also. I'm a true believer on never fertilize or water a mango. They don't need it and that just encourages vegetation growth.
I'm also on Merritt Island with a ten foot sand ridge. So, plenty of room for roots to grow. Water table is ten feet down.
Thus, you guys in So.Fla may have different growing conditions.
Ok, 'nuff said. I think it is one of the best tasting. Carry on and thanks for not banning me.
