Top Ten Mangoes, maximized for season
« on: July 06, 2016, 02:12:36 PM »
So I am thinking about generating another list. Obviously the compact mango list had a very specific goal. And many people have generated top 5 / top 10 lists for mangoes just on flavor alone.

But I am asking for people to give top ten mangoes based primarily on taste, but also for season. The idea here would be to spread out the awesomeness as long across the season as possible. There is no restriction on tree size or vigor. So the idea is if you had a brand new yard / had to start over, what would be the ten trees that you want for flavor while trying to spread out the season.

I am suggesting a format for your lists in this fashion:

1. Mango Name -- Flavor Profile --  Season (early, mid, late, or extended like Mahachanok) -- Tree size / vigor (this is helpful for orchard planning)
2. etc.

List away!

I'm not good at flavor profiling but extending the season is the most important reason for planting the varieties i do.

Disclaimer: This is from my limit experience and reading thing from here and a few other sources 

Earliest (typically starting somewhere in March)
Rosigold
Rosa (Fiber)
Dwarf Hawaiian (Fiber)
Maybe - Kau Dwarf (Don't know much about this one)

Early (Typically starting somewhere in May)
Edward
Glenn
Florigon
Guava (I think)
Manilita

Don't think June-August you'll have a problem finding mangos varieties

Late (typically late August)
Venus
Providence
Lancetilla
Kent
Beverly
Honey Kiss
Neelam
Galaxy (Don't know much info on this)

Super Late (October -ish)
Beverly
Honey Kiss (i think)
Neelam
Kiett

Bumping this topic back on the board, have been looking at the forum and like how condensed this makes a lot of the info. Feel free to redirect me elsewhere though!
