glad that now I have strain of this giant specie in my yard, the graft took. no one has seen or grown this big ST Maui I believe, so it may be unique.
yep, you seldom come across such huge mango variety and not have ripening issues or quality issues. Note that Leo has that apricot that ripens unevenly, this variety of yours is unbelievable.
Warren and I cut open the 5lb St Maui. Very juicy and sweet brix 23 had light piney finish. Top tier mangomore than a novelty definitely worth growing

Many people were staring at them hanging on your tree and couldn't believe how large they were, literally cantaloupe sized. Your ST Mauis are as big or bigger than some of the Harvest Moons I've seen members posting and the color is similar as well. Even though the fruit sampled at the tasting was not in its prime, it was very good, fiberless and ripened evenly for such a large fruit. I can only imagine how good it will get if fully tree ripened like the one you and Warren sampled. Simon
Glad to hear Sweet Tart was a winner. I had three successful grafts this year for ST, two on Manila root stock and one on a Kent seedling. Will be interesting to see how they preform in the future. So far at my location Sweet Tart has been a excellent grower relative to other cultivars I have. Johnny
California Mango Growers, if you liked sweet tart, I am telling you peach cobbler is equally good if not better. its an amazing mango, very productive, big size, and super delicious too. I am propagating it in my yard like a mad man. it grows well too.
So what is everyone's opinion on the Sweet Cliff Lychees?Bill
Most sweet tart seeds have come out as multiple Little Seeds this was the first time we got a single seed looks like a mono.
I beleive both Sindhiri and Kesar has a lot of potential in So Cal. I could taste good flavors in both, kesar was like store bought, need a bit higher brix and we are there
