It sure was. It was amazing!

Very nice FGM it would be great to compare these to Coconuts amazing creations. Just like Harry has his mango tastings maybe in the future we can have an Annona tasting that would be cool.

So thanks to Coconut I had the pleasure of trying Boca Chewy F2 C. The fruit which was consumed in it's entirety a couple of hours ago was just a bit smaller than F2 A. I did not weigh it but I would say it was just under a pound and was a little too much on the soft side of ripeness. Coconut told me it was overripe but to try it anyways. Off the bat when I opened the fruit I noticed the flesh softer and more translucent than the previous two subjects and a pleasant aroma came about. When I tried the flesh I was hit by a super sweet,juicy, soft but not falling apart or crumbly texture it was more of a creamy, thick consistency to it with amazing intense taste. First thing that came to mind was the abundance of seeds this particular fruit had. Every section of flesh was surrounded by a seed, 91 of them to be exact. Taste wise I Would rank the F2 C every bit up there with  F2A and F2B only major difference I observed was the number of sees with C having almost 3 times the number of seeds as A and B. So not only was A and B a bigger fruit they practically had barely any seeds compared to the c fruit and that is amazing if consistent. Another interesting observation I made was that even though the F2C fruit was partially overripe and a little past it's prime it still was an amazing top tier fruit. Here are some pictures. Thank you Jack for allowing me to be of assistance in your selection process. Enjoy!

Yes the squirrels are a big problem in my house but so far only with the coconut cream and Neelam mangos. Here is a follow up of the second fruit which was larger in size than the first. As you can see from the pictures the fruit weighed slightly over a pound. Flavor wise compared to the smaller fruit this one was just as good as the other one truly an exceptional creamy juicy consistency to the flesh. The one thing that I did notice, was that this fruit Boca Chewy F2 had a total of 31 seeds. So not only was this one larger it also had fewer seeds than the previous fruit. Keep in mind Coconut picked these fruit off his tree early due to the massive squirrel problem he is having so who's to say how much more each would have grown if left on the tree any longer. In conclusion both of these Boca Chewy F2 A and B are definitely winner varieties. Coconuts trees are loaded with fruit so they are precocious fast growing trees that are only 3 years old. Enjoy the pictures.

Coconut all I can say is thank you for allowing me to do a taste test on your 15 years of work. Your sugar apples which the pictures do not even show how big these things are look amazing. You guys should see how productive these trees are also without any hand pollination Absolutely incredible. Can't wait to try them.

That looks like an awesome jack! Would have loved to try it.

Brandon thanks for the report. How would you compare it to others you have tried as far as flavor and texture?

This is an update of my tree this year it has over 65 mangos on it.

Been there. Sorry to hear. I lost a nice CC the same way last year.

So as I promised myself I would be patient with my remaining Neelam mangos and let them ripen or at least show some color change on the tree before picking them. I found one on the ground two days ago. I placed it in a paper bag and let it sit in my garage until today when I got home from work. I have to say it was one of the best mangos I had this year. It's weird though because I have had others from the tree that weren't all that. I'm thinking it was the way I let it fully ripen vs the other ones that weren't quite there. Definitely a keeper for me if I can get them to all taste like today's. Then again maybe it was so good today because I'm having mangos in October and haven't had a good mango since earlier in the summer. Still have 3 on the tree.

I still have 10 green fruit on my tree. I had a well ripened one last week that was amazing yet I have also had a couple that were a little underripe and they weren't too pleasant. The ones remaining on the tree I'll try to let ripen or at least break color on the tree before I pick them and let em fully ripen before eating them will have a follow up report with pics.

Some fruits of my labor.

I have a bangcock lemon seedling and a seedling from Harry's tree which is a Blackgold Tabouy cross I believe.
