anyone growing this cultivar from merritt island?the fruits reminded me of Carrie, but more fibrous, with a strong strawberry jam/Carrie flavor.it's one of my favorites. I suppose I'd like to grow one.
Joe!thanks for the offer!!!!I gotta have budwood though!BTW, your small seedling is looking great...I haven't forgot you amigo!
Osteen was the best Merritt Island mango I had last year.
QuoteOsteen was the best Merritt Island mango I had last year.Osteen was good last year. It's one of the the three names I checked on Ensey's list as being notably good in case of a return visit this year. A nice sized pink fruit as I recall.
also one called orange delight, or delicious or something.I remember they were very nice, but have to be eaten dead ripe.It wasn't a large fruit, but it was nice...I never got to taste banana...I heard they're fibrous but very nice...purple turp was very nice and easy to sell...
Also...what about sunset?
HOW COULD I FORGET!AUSTIN!It was probably my favorite!! It was a large fruit, with a fiberless texture...and a definite coconut flavor (if I recall correct??)

Hoping for a second bloom!!
