Very pretty color on those Cogshal mangoesl Dan, you must not have problems with Critters to see ripe mangoes on your tree and they haven't been attacked  8)...Lucky you!!

Dan - can you post a picture of just the Sweet Tart.  I would also like to see the inside of one.  Something look odd to me...

Some of the mangos in the last pic appear to be Haden.

The mocking birds started pecking holes in the fruit as they started to color up.  I check twice a day now and pick them off.  There are 2 plastic Owls perched in the Cogs now and they help.

The only fruit in the tray are Cogs and Glenn.  The tree was tagged as Glenn when I got it from Nelsons.   Tastes good but the Cogs are better.   Seeing less jelly since I started to pick earlier.

This is the Sweet Tart.  Only had 6 fruit.  It's still potted.  Got it this year from Trees n More.  Ate the first one and it was great.

Wow, beautiful fruits. Their purple blush is certainly attractive.
It's a pretty nice sized tree too.

Then it was a miss-tag because those are Hadens.

My Cogshalls were pretty bad this year. Lots of jelly seed.

My Cogshall tree had its best year production wise, but many of the fruits had jelly seed.  :-\

Thats why I questioned Sweet Tart as I could not fine them in your picture.  It is best to pick the Sweet Tart as the shoulders color.  They are a seedling of ZINC and they do carry some of the negative qualities of ZINC if left to color up too much on the tree.

So, for sweet tart, pick when shoulder starts to color up, and eat when fully yellow?

Thanks for the picking advice.  I had to pick the one big Pickering green with some color.  Too close to the ground for safety.  Was in a clamshell and leaked sap when I plucked it.  Have caught 3 big opossums so far and I'm afraid it's only a dent in the population.  Just checked the Cogs and picked one yello-ish..No holes - so the owls seem to work.

Funny you should ask.........ran into this recipe.   Sounds interesting.  :o ::)

Wild Possum Kebobs
Ingredients:
    1 Still breathing, corn-fed Possum
    3 Ripe but firm tomatoes
    1 Large white or yellow onion
    1/2 pound large mushrooms
    2 large green peppers
    1 package meat marinade
    1/2 cup soy sauce
    12 skewers (sticks are okay in Arkansas)
 
Preparation: The possum must be alive so that you can scare it, giving you the "wild" taste from all the adrenaline it produces. It is best to hit it over the head with a large object in a humane manner. Boil the possum for 3 minutes to loosen the fur then skin and gut it.
De-limb (chop the little knubby legs off) the possum and cut the meat into 1/2 inch square chunks. Marinate overnight in a mixture of meat marinade and soy sauce. Kentucky residents who have no fridge can use an ice chest and may use radiator coolant instead of soy sauce.
Thread the meat and veggies onto your skewer/stick in alternating sequences to distribute the delicious flavor evenly. Cook over a barbecue, pit, 50 gallon drum or any other fire till you get the desired result. For added flavor, you can cook it over burning tires.

Picked a beauty off the Cogshall last nite while walking the dog. Even in the low light I could see the blush starting. Time to get it off before the freaking mockingbirds peck holes in it. Even has a spur at the beak.

 Weighs a full 1.5 lbs.

Beautiful rich color!!!!! They don't appear too juicy which I dont have a problem with (or could it just be the photo)?

They look like you could just dig in with a spoon and scoop the flesh out!!!! I can't see any fiber am I right in assuming they don't have any?

They are both relatively juicy (not firm/dry in any way) and both are fiber free.
