Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: OTT MANGO

I 'm sorry I just found this thread so late. I have a 25+ year old Ott mango tree. As I recall it was the only Ott mixed in the a group of Dot mangoes, so I grabbed it. I like the Ott, and I'm pleased I bought it. First off it's not a dwarf. I planted it next to a Florigon at the same time and they are just about the same size, 30'+. Secondly the fruit has little to no fiber and has a nice mango flavor with a hint of citrus. You might try ripening on the counter by picking a few days before it's ready, and possibly get the best flavor as with a few other mango cultivars. My tree is moderately productive, with 3/4 lb fruit. This year it was loaded until a freak hail storm battered my area a few weeks ago. About 80% of my mangoes from several trees hit the ground.
