“ In addition, the U.S. per capita consumer consumption of mango fruit has increased from 1.2 pounds per person in 1996 to 4.8 pounds in 2013, according to the National Mango Board.”So forum members’ consumption skews the population average.
It seems like a highly scientific approach. I guess we'll see if they come up with any varieties that are better than the new Zill creations. Go Gators! (UF is now #8 public university in America--USNews ranking.)

haha! It's probably true. I probably go through 500 pounds worth in a typical mango season. Literally put in 10 pounds during the 3 month mango season.Quote from: Future on October 03, 2018, 05:55:15 PM“ In addition, the U.S. per capita consumer consumption of mango fruit has increased from 1.2 pounds per person in 1996 to 4.8 pounds in 2013, according to the National Mango Board.”So forum members’ consumption skews the population average.

Here's a UF blog mentioning some early & late choices common to S. Fl. http://blogs.ifas.ufl.edu/palmbeachco/2018/08/23/mangoes-are-still-in-season/I still have quite a few mangos available for picking & hope you do toooo... It is quite easy for one to have tree picked mangos for just over half the year in S. Fl. by planting several varieties.
