The girls are headed down Saturday for visiting family and would like to pre order a box for their kin and another for us. What is the best way to order. They would pick up Saturday morning on way down.
Does Carabao usually produce this early? Is it a different variety within the Philippines mango? I saw a Philippine tag today that said June-July. Having the Rosigold (at least 2 weeks till ripe) and looking to add another super early.

One tree had a significant March/April crop though.Rosa is a more consistent spring mango. Edward and Dwarf Hawaiian also.
Come on people where are your mangos
I had high hopes for my Pickering this year. First year flowering, (year three in ground from 3 gal pot), about 6' x 6'. In January it sent up pannicles on every branch. She was loaded for a while. . .and then she started dropping fruit and hasn't stopped. Still some fruit left and I assume several will remain, but man, what a tease.My Cogshall had about a 50% bloom this year, starting in late January. Most fruits are holding on.
Found the First ripe Rosa today:
Venus, Angie, Sunset and Simmonds yesterday:Also harvested first Haden.

Finally a tree ripened Florigon mango on my tree. I previously ate a few drops that were faulty. This particular mango is very very small but it was good tasting (I started to zoom in like a fish tale... but went with the ruler ). The typical citrus/mango taste of this Florigon and it was sweet. This is a thin skinned mango & I ate the skin also as I think doing so gives it more citrus zest. Sorry I could not post earlier Alex but nothing but faulty drops previously at my residence; a few weeks later than last year at my residence. Anyone else in S. Florida with ripe mangos, I would love to see your 2018 mango pictures posted....
