Im a big fan of his work. To Me it was like getting to meet Jimmy buffet in key west. On A side note.......
That is so damned cool that we experienced a mango orgasm together thanks to Mr Zill!!!I think you also may have heard me say that I had the same reaction to Sugarloaf as I did last yeR when Terry cut open a P Pleasure for me. I know you left for about 10 minutes then came back in so maybe you missed that precious moment? I actually said to Terry that talking to Mr Zill was like talking to the biggest movie star. Same thing you just said. Nice meeting you and sharing a very special moment in time and space/our lives.
Terry? Or Traci?
I hadn't heard of Cream Brulee.
I had a Cream Brulee from Zill today. Excellent mango, very sweet and a special resinous taste near the skin.
I got to try creme brulee. It was fantastic. The seed is very obviously polyembryonic, but does anybody have budwood? E4 was also good, but I thought the creme brulee was better. Both seem like close relatives to the coco cream, but oddly I don't remember coco cream being polyembryonic?

E4 is Pettigrew and GaryCoco Cream is Edward and GaryCreme Brulee is an Edward seedling I believe. Not sure if Gary was the pollen donor or not. If Ibrecall, it is not a very good bearer...and I dont think anyone has budwood.
Interesting. pettigrew and gary are both awesome mangoes. Zill's HPP said they were going to release creme brulee next year. I might just top work with a seedling.
