Hello Members,Took a drive with the family to TT , To pick up some mangoes Specifically Coconut Cream .I picked up most of the CC they had in a box , picked up some PPK , Southern Blush .The place was packed , so we grabbed some mangoes and left , I don’t like crowds 😊.The Cc are hard should be ready in a few days can’t wait to taste them ! The PPK where soft and ready very sweet a hint of lemon , good mango but I still rate my Pickering a much better tasting mango .

Her place is always my first stop. With that said, I have noticed her PPKs often come yellow and taste just ok. Others with different fertilizer come orange and earn #2 spot, all time. Just saying.
Just had my 1st coconut cream mango , I was anxiously Awaiting to taste the rich coconut taste that we love in Certain Mangoes, none of Up ( my family ) tasted a hint of Coconut 🤧, My Pickering blew that one away .I hope the others I purchased have that intense coconut taste that folks have described .The southern Blush was good had a classic mango taste .Ed
CC is an awesome mango. Keep trying. I've never had a great Sweet Tart, still waiting.
