Have you gotten any of those to bloom in Hana? I used to live there, it seemed way to warm and wet to get any mangos to bloom except for the few local varieties that were acclimated.

I prefer the taste of E-4

Pina Colada.

The tree will be a clone of Fantastic. The rootstock can influence the vigor

8
My Lemon Zest tree had similar damage to that. It struggled for a couple years until I eventually pruned below the damage. The tree recovered beautifully

9
Honey Kiss. Pina Colada too

10
3 or 4 max, spaced evenly. The uppermost shoots will be best

It’s amazing! I can’t believe it isn’t brought up more on this forum. After tasting COC/CAC the other night, I’m considering top working my LZ tree instead of having to spray my trees with fungicides.

That’s crazy my Cac tree got terrible powdery mildew in Florida

I have sampled dozens of Cotton Candy mangos over the years. Besides their above average sweetness and cotton candy like aftertaste they are nothing more than a renamed Keitt. Don’t let the name fool you.

Candy Corn have been terrible. Flesh is very light and tastes like a bad cantaloupe. Has anyone else tried them? I tried one last season and it was very good.

Earlier this morning, I had the last of the Candy Corn mangoes Satya was kind enough to give me. That one tasted really good, unlike the others that were really bland. Makes me think the others were picked way early.
Cool! Good to know there’s hope. I assumed they had named something else Candy Corn as these were incomparable to the one that I sampled last season. That was last August so it’s quite early yet

Simon the Pineapple Pleasures have been fantastic. Have a J-12 ripening now. Here’s my review of Pineapple Pleasure as well as many others

Agree with Alex, clearly Lemon Meringue. Foliage alone is enough

23
Cut them back to the point that you’d like the branches to emerge from. I have never heard or seen hole drilling to promote branching.

24
Many of those are not “dwarf”, in fact quite the opposite

25
A properly ripened Mallika is very similar in flavor to Lemon Zest.
Agreed, although I find it even more comparable to Orange Sherbet, in fact almost identical
