Dont mean to sound rude but thats a lot of typing when much or all has been previously written. The other problem is besides my direct experiende with most varieties that have been topworked for upwards of 10 years onto 75 year old rootstock, these varieties are only 4 years old max (since release ) so knowledge/information from most people based on grafts onto seedling rootstock is limited at best.

The mango review thread is excellent example, great location for anyone that wants to get an idea on what a mango may taste like.
lady's choice is also in this batch IIRC, but it's an improved east indian so....yeah...
The orange sherbet I have had in SWFL this year were incredible. I would love to find someone with grafting material.

'Fruit Punch' trees are being sold. This is the first year of availability, and quantities are extremely limited. This is my new favorite.

This is my new favorite.Yes but they were not being sold that long ago so this ebsy piter would have had them as long ago ag they had them pisted. They are also in no condition to be shipped. In addition, the retail nurseries that have them are extremely limited at best. If anybody "local" has interest, please PM me. No shipping available whatsoever.
