I've got some species mango & colorful new growth (blood red) occurs in a few of them so it is not strictly a kuini trait. Kuini does color up well & it does hold the color until the leaves are quite large but it is not the only one with good color. I don't recall for sure which do, I'll have to take a look & comment later.I had done a posting about flush color in mangoes (indica) to see if anyone know of cultivars that have nice color in new growth & I think I got no response on this. I have a seedling mango that has very good color but not quite as strong as some of the other species. (This one is just destined to be top worked with choice mango cultivars.) None of my "choice" mango cultivars have very good color in new growth -- I would think that there must be some good clones that have good color as well.John
