Thanks for the flavor descriptions! I look forward to trying it. With luck my graft should be ready to produce next season.

Ha! You got me on that one, sunworshiper. I'm the one who started the other thread about Angie, and I had even speculated about sandy soil! But no one backed that up. Forgetting sh*t in my semi-old age (68)! I've kept my tree because it's an awesome, perfect-growing tree with beautiful fruit. The fruit is still variable in flavor, but it's so different than Pickering that it's a good early mango to have as a companion.
I bought an Angie, which apparently produces great fruit in south florida's soil, but on sandy soil (what I have) the fruit are not good.
I never heard that before--that Angie mangoes grown on sandy soil are not good. What is that based on? Please give us the facts on which that statement is based. There's a hell of a lot of sandy soil in South Florida, including at some of our major players--Truly Tropical (Delray Beach), Tropical Acres Farms (WPB), and Walter Zill's (Boynton Beach)!
