He has been promising me one to try, so we shall see.  Fun, a new variety!.  He does have a long list of names though, doesn't he?  Maybe a new leader in the clubhouse.

I don't think the flavor is that similar to its parent Pico though....it is better, more similar to the Saigon descendents.

Alex,  do you expect to have peaches (fruit) for sale this year?

I think some of the low chill ones for Florida are pretty darn good.

I may have some. The trees have been blooming and setting fruit. I'll need to check tomorrow to see which ones. I want to say UF Sun, Florida Prince, and Tropic Sweet trees are among those that bloomed.

Great resource for reading about some mango varieties in your area.
Last time I was there he had trees, didn't ask what varieties though.

Yes, Alex sells trees in addition to budwood, mangoes, and avocados. I don't think he ships trees though.
