Hello all, so just trying to get a Cotton Candy mango tree update. Anyone flowering yet? How was the fruit last year?

We grow Brooks Late. It is a heavy producer, the fruit are round, green. Have had them ripen as late as February and some say it’s holds to March for them.
How would you rate the taste of it compared to a Reed. Mark has me really thinking about adding one. I would pick one of these two. Zone9B.
Haven’t tasted Reed, but Reed is almost certainly better.
It even looks better. I may just get rid of a Valencia Pride that I have and put a Reed instead. I got plenty of mango trees and looking to extend my fruit season.
By all means take out a good Mango tree & plant a good CALIFORNIA Avocado variety that performs poorly in Florida. Sounds like a plan. How about we take a look at the what the old Pine Island viewer has to say on the subject shall we?

My in grounds are rocking so far this year. No fruit at all but they are bushing out quite well. Sweet tart and Lemon zest are pushing a lot of new growth right now and the other two existing ones, cotton candy and graham are low and bushy as well, haven't walked over there lately to see if there is new growth. I put an ailing pickering that was potted(all my potteds were having issues this year and I don't know why) and found a spot in a clearing in the back 40 in between some oaks where I have some loquats in and it seems to be doing much better. Hoping for another winter like last year. But with us starting to enter another cooling period I am glad I diversified with cooler weather trees.
