sleepdoc,
maybe cut back on the ambien it can cause vivid nightmares of bigfoot holding under ripe mangoes.
but now u can "rest assured", this mango had a sweet scent, and divine taste. the orange color indicates that its fully ripe.
it was small, but worth eating. and I even shared it with a friend...who took it home and shared it with his pappy.
I guess the price I pay for having a 4ft tree in a 15gal pot, producing 11 fruits months ahead of season (for this cultivar).:.is having a few undersized mangoes.
FL grown (pesticide free organic) fresh harvested mangoes are a hot commodity.
Harvested my first pickering this season, April 27th...and then another today...
The first to be ripe was the smallest of all that formed on the tree, but no problem, I'm not worried about size....just fruit quality and quantity.
The second fruit harvested today, was normal size. I notice about 3 of the 7 mangoes are small (slightly larger than the first one I picked, pictured below)
I have 10 that will definitely be coming off of this tree!
I may have to mail some to my friends!
Pic of tree right before harvest time!
and first fruit harvested! Smells amazing! after eating these, I can't buy mangoes from the store ever again..imported....they are absolutely disgusting compared to these.
I think that's too small to be mature .... unless the hand holding it is a Sasquatch
