Is this Lemon Zest?
« on: June 30, 2015, 04:03:32 PM »
I bought a 'Lemon Zest' mango from a local nursery and I was wondering if it was the real deal.

dcb - the distinctive thing I know about the Lemon Zest (my fave mango by the way)
is the curly/wavy edges of the leaves, just the way they show in your pictures.
I don't have another mango that looks like that.

That or PPK/Lemon Meringue.   Why are the stems/branches so weak?  Looks like it has been grown indoors.

I think it was recently topped off, because the stem is much thicker than the branches. Hopefully it doesn't burn too much over the rest of the summer.

Dark - Yours look like the leaves on my Lemon zest. The true test will be when you sample the tasty fruit ;D ;D

MangoFang - I see you live in Ca. I wonder if the Lemon Zest taste different when grown there... Want to send me a few so I can try? ;D ;D ;D ;D
