This is my pickering mango tree that I got from plantogram last year. It currently holds two fruits about 5" long. The tree is still very small, a little over 3 feet tall. These will be my first two mangoes fruited in my yard. Maybe I should name them, haha. I honestly don't know when to pick it.
J, you need to get some pics of the Diplomatico mango.
Here's one posted by Puglvr in another thread. Notice no pointy beak. Maybe yours just has an unusual protuberance. Time will tell for positive ID when you get to try it. Are both your fruits showing the same pointy beak at the bottom?

I have some more pics of local mangos that I'll post later.Zand, I was told by Eunice Messner that it takes about 10 years before a mango trees puts out a heavy crop(over 100). You know more about the soil than I do but I can tell you one thing some of the crops on the mature trees are very impressive. Nullzero showed us a pics of a mango tree in Little India in Artesia that was 15' and had over 1,000.Scott we'll meet again in january at the annual CRFG scion exchange in Costa Mesa and I'll bring some scions for you to graft.

Please see pictures below. I have also attached the tag on the mango. If it's not a Pickering, then what is it? Since I have never had a Pickering mango before, how would I know besides flying you over here to test it out
JF those pics are incredible certainly appreciate you taking the trouble to upload. I am very impressed. Most of these trees are seedlings right? No freeze there i guess?I need to move to La Habra , seems like one can grow my favorite fruits there.Mango, cherimoya, avocado, guava and papaya. I need nothing else.Wow, thanks again!
I dont understand why mangos werent grown commercially at a mass scale in Socal ?? They are easier to grow than citrus and avocados in this area.
Joe, thanks for offer of scionwood come next Jan.@ scion exchange in O.C. I'll remind you! All those pic's almost make me wish I never moved out of L.A area but not! ::)Cool pics thanks for posting!
Kent and Valencia Pride are commercially grown in Coachella. They sell them at the Santa Monica farmers market.
Wow, those trees are beauties. Up in Vista at Paul Thompson's old place there are some huge old trees that put out some great mangos. I've tasted all of them and grafted a few up. Not sure of the names but all produce good fruit with no fiber. If anyone knows any of the types it'd be nice to know.Here are a couple of mine down in Chula Vista, we don't get the heat so the fruit is far behind other SoCal areas.Corriente heart shaped I have a Pickering fruit this year that is heart shaped also.Kensington PrideHeidi

From my recollection, mine don't have any beak. Let's see how your develop. I remain skeptical....but maybe I'll be proved wrong.
