Can honestly say, the seasons you are referring to are Florida seasons. No idea what would happen in Spain.
Yes, actually I think that our seasons here in South Spain must be quite nearer to those from SoCal, climate is practically the same. I didn't mention that I live 1.4 miles from the coast line and 45 meters over sea level. The zone is free of freezing, the average annual temperature is 64.04 F, minimum around 46 F, dropping to 41 sometimes (this winter one night temperature dropped to 36 F degrees, and it was an extremely exceptional event, with snow in all the Mediterranean Spanish coast but in my zone, where was just raining). It's not too much hot in summer and tempered in winter, the temperature in August averages 76,46 F. January is the coldest month, with temperatures averaging 54 °F. Here you can check my climate :

Honey Kiss is very late season, going into October.
Wow, that is really late for Florida, I wonder how late would get here, maybe into January
I guess we'll find out
Here go seasons for the main commercial varieties growing in Malaga coast, so you all know how mango behaves here:
Irwin: From September 10 to October 10.
Tommy Atkins: From September 15 to October 15.
Osteen: From 20th September to 20th October.
Kent: From 15th October to 20th November.
Keitt: From 20th October to 30th November.
Palmer: From 10th November to 10th December.
As you see commercial Spanish growers keep loyal to their old Florida varieties here
In my particular case season will be a little bit earlier since winters here are milder than in the eastern part of Malaga, where these data are from.
After reading your comments I surely will go for the Honey Kiss and I'm still thinking about Venus to make a cocktail last season tree maybe...
Mid season I still will go for ST, LZ and Maha, and most likely also a Coc/Cac.
And for early season I have to read about Rosigold. Didn't know that PPK was almost an early season, very interesting. Edward will be probably one of my choices in the future, but that one I can buy it here in Malaga.
Quite a dilema to choose among so many good varieties, maybe I should listen to Rob and just plant 6-7 Carrie trees...
I forgot to mention that I will buy the scions of all these varieties next month, in this forum, and graft them into Gomera 3. This is the most used rootstock here in Spain, it has good resistance to clays and to our climate, tolerating the Pseudomona syringae bacteria better than other rootstocks.
Thank you all for the very useful info!!!
