I have been in the Orlando area for the last 10 days, and had to do a quick trip to Miami and back, at the last minute i decided to make a detour and visit Merrit Island. I stopped by Ensey's place but gate was closed, and no one answered when i rang the bell, anyway i saw a few "mangoes for sale" signs along the road, decided to stop at one.
I picked up about 7 lbs of mangoes.
I was disappointing with the purchased, almost all the mangoes were watery with little flavor, Haden's I took a couple of bites and tossed them in the trash. Baily's marvel had a hint of nice flavor but were just watered down, only mango that was enjoyable, was a single Zill, which tasted like a mango peach fusion to me.
I also stopped by my mothers home in Hollywood, our Valencia Pride tree is still loaded with fruit that are just starting to ripen. I picked a couple dozen and brought a few back with me to Orlando.
The one VP that has ripened that I ate, was delicious, it had a very noticeable coconut flavor to it.
One thing I noticed about VP. is that the tree had fruit starting to ripe at all different sizes, some fruit were very big, while others were pretty small. the smaller fruit that ripened were not as good as the full grown well developed fruit.
too bad I wont be around to enjoy the rest of the harvest from that tree.
