Mangoes that produce in clusters or Bunches ..
« on: December 07, 2012, 02:04:05 PM »
Anyone  has any info on this?
I think i read somewhere that the new "Sweet Tart" does this. Is that true?

Any other recommendations Po Pyu Kalay maybe?
I just love the look of these and would like more recommendations. Thanks ! ;)

Irwin bears in clusters. Its also really colorful if you're looking for something ornamental. Doesn't taste as good as Sweet Tart or PPK though.

 Thomson and Ataulfo mangos here in Socal. I'm looking forward to my Irwin in the next few years.

yes, PPK bears in clusters.  I will disagree with Squam, I don't think Sweet Tart is that good of a mango.  PPK, yes, excellent.

Ice Cream also bears in clusters.

For some reason love the look of mangoes that bear in clusters , i think its a childhood thing from Jamaica when i was a kid eating wild mango seedlings in the countryside. Thanks everyone for all the answers. My choice is between sweet tart and PPK . Irwin looks like a great producer also but looking for  more recent or exotic choice.  Just wondering,  i have been seeing old posts that mentions Julie is "dwarf like" . The tree at my dad's house in Jamaica  is nothing like a dwarf it's huge . Guess different soil/ climate / rain  / humidity etc than Florida !

Thanks again folks.

yes, growth habit of Julie in the Caribbean is no comparison to those grown in Florida.  Much heartier tree in the Caribbean.

As far as Sweet Tart vs PPK, I will reiterate, NO COMPARISON-->PPK IS WINNER.  Don't know how it will grow in Arizona, but PPK in Florida is a vigorous, heavy producer.  Sweet Tart has not been out long enough to truly be able to determine growth habit or production.

I'll submit regular Nam Doc Mai as one. Mine bears huge mangoes in clusters- sometimes 7-8 per pannicle that see maturity. "Dripping with mangoes". Excellent mango when eaten ripe (green) when it is still firm.
The Earth laughs in flowers. And bear gifts through fruits.
No where to plant it ...but at least I got it. ;)

Visual appeal yes.  But also "bearing in clusters" wold mean more mangoes for everyone, right?
