Tell us about new varieties of mangos you’ve planted.
« on: August 09, 2019, 07:15:10 AM »
How about a companion thread talking about the new varieties of mangos you’ve planted in the last five years and your experiences with each, such as new Zill varieties and other new to U.S. varieties?  Whether they’ve met your expectations and warrant top-tier status.

Cotton Candy  and  Edgar  have been planted in the last 5 years here in Hollywood Fla.   

Edgar fruited for the first time this year,  about 6-7 fruit,  a few were snatched due to it's location near the road.  I did not get to try them personally, but family members that did, said they were very good.   tree looks healthy.

Cotton Candy , has only been in the ground about 2 years,  it really took off last year,  and was about 12 ft tall,  last week I pruned it back some.

Yesterday I purchased an E-4,  so I'll report on that one someday in the future.
