If u started over and plant three mango trees which varieties would you choose.

Good questions and the worst mango I ever planted was a Julie. Low quality fruit and it volunteered for mulch patrol. The one I was happiest with wss keow saweoy. I sure have tried lots of varieties but unfortunately not these glamorous coconut creams,lemon zest and some other Floridian favourites. The 3 I would plant would be:
1 Sam Ru Du a great tasting variety that fruits all year will always be at the top of my list.
2 Cedar Bay/Rabaul They ar huge and taste so good and the trees are small
3. Kwan or maha chinok Equal in taste but maha looks better and kwan is a much larger fruit like an extra big and tasty NDM.

Mike I have not stop giggling since you told us about those woolly jumpers that you have Down Under. From the photo I found it looks like they have very Deep Pockets so you might want to put an extra row of barbed wire on your fence around your Grove.LoL

1. White Pirie (covers Indian - piney flavor profile)
2. Lemon Zest (covers citrus flavor profile)
3. Piña Colada (covers both the pineapple and coconut flavor profiles)

White Pirie is an excellent choice we had an opportunity to have it last season and enjoyed it very much. There is another  variety from Hawaii that we tried courtesy of Tropical Acre Farm and highly recommend. It is a beautiful Mango very tasty. Mapulehu

It’s a sin to pull out healthy fruit trees and you have good varieties so why don’t you just buy what you want and plant them in any space you find. I have 300 on a 1/2 acre lot with a house and a pool and a shed so what are you worried about!
