Newest Zills variety up for grabs
« on: December 10, 2013, 03:31:36 PM »
Thanks to the eagle eye of a good friend, I managed to get my hands on 2 of the newest Zills mango creations . . . Juicy Peach.


I am obviously keeping one but I am offering the other 3 gal for trade.  Ideally I would like a mango tree in exchange but am open to all offers.

If you can deliver, a free trip to Bermuda would be a fare trade?

My bags are packed.  I am willing to travel coach but the Juicy Peach will require a first class ticket.

I believe "Juicy Peach" is F-26.

If so, its excellent.

HAHA. Maybe you can just top work that Tommy Atkins that you planted for some reason.

Unlike the poorly named (but still delicious) "Peach Cobbler"/O-2,  F-26 actually does have sweet peach flavor.

You must plant it now.

Harry,


   Can you describe the Heidi?  The only thing I can find on the forum is about someone who ate an over ripe one.


Thanks,
George

Great another excellent mango... To many choices, I am going to have to opt out. No more room  :o.
Grow mainly fruits, vegetables, and herbs.

‘Heidi’ (South Africa) ‘Heidi’ fruit are 14.5 oz. (410 g) or even larger when there are a precious few on the tree. The fruit are ovate roundish and a near complete oxblood red, with an irregular, angular skin.
The flesh is tangerine orange and without fiber with a subtle, floral bouquet, and the flavor is rich, with a touch of tropical spice and melon. The tree is fast growing early on, but ultimately controllable, forming a rounded, dense canopy with good production in the later
mango season. The tree, bloom and fruit are tolerant of disease, resulting in trees of uncommon beauty. This mango has temporarily lost its appeal due to the problems with production and handling after harvest, yet, with its quality inside and out, it warrants growing in your home garden.

Heidi is a mango with rich and nice taste. It is a late, irregular and moderate bearer, at least in Canary Islands. I refused to grow it.

Dang it. I could promise you my first-born child, but that eventuality seems increasingly unlikely.

I've already got 3 kids but only 2 Juicy Peach trees left.  I'm afraid the laws of supply and demand dictate that I pass on any more children until I get more Juicy Peach trees.

I can send you the middle child, her grades have been slipping ;)  I would prefer to trade the Juicy Peach trees than to sell them but if no trades are readily available, I would consider selling.  PM sent.
