It's only mild when eaten at the wrong stage. I don't like mild mangoes myself. It took me several tastings before I found the sweet spot. I think a lot of folks pan certain mangoes because they're eating them at the wrong stage. For example, I hear a lot of folks claiming that the nam doc mai is bland (just pure sweet). However, that's only true if eaten when fully yellow. If eaten at an earlier stage, it's actually an incredible mix of sweet and tart.Maha Chanok tastes a lot like sweet tart when eaten at the right stage.Carrie is another one that is compost fodder when eaten at the wrong stage, but quite delicious when eaten slightly green.Quote from: behlgarden on March 03, 2018, 11:04:54 AMQuote from: Sleepdoc on March 02, 2018, 05:29:32 PMDrawbacks? Yes. It does not taste as good as a number of the new Zill varieties.100% in agreement, we know taste is subjective. if someone likes mild mango this would be great for them. I like super sweet or super complex or both. Mild mangoes are not for me or my wife.

Roblack I have minimal experience with grafting and I am worried if I try top work a mango tree I might butcher it
Jessg333,Kauai Nursery and landscaping (808-241-5165) carries a Maha Janok...mightbe just a different spelling...try ask them.
I know mangos can be subjective, but the Maha is one of my favorite trees in the yard.
aloha mango carries Maha Chanok but the owner also tried to dissuade me from getting it. He called it a “bland flavored mango”. I wonder if they just don’t produce well in Hawaii
