I've watched every single one of the Truly Tropical Videos on Mangos and they are all excellent. Extremely informative and I love how she breaks down the pros and cons. I especially like how she lists whether the mango is Mono or a Polyembryonic. In this video, I believe Gary mentioned that the Pettigrew or its seed came from a collection from the west coast? Simon
Thanks for the information, that makes a lot more sense. It was great to finally put a face to the famous Gary Zill! You guys and gals are lucky to have such enthusiastic mango connoisseurs living close by. I hope Chris keeps putting out these wonderful videos. Simon

SimonPettigrew came from the property of a man named Asa Pillsbury in Bradenton, Florida back in the 1940s.. Part of his orchard was still there as of a couple years ago.It was likely a Mulgoba seedling and it shares a number of traits with Mulgoba.Laurence Zill's first mention of it can be found here: http://fshs.org/proceedings-o/1950-vol-63/219-220%20(ZILL).pdf
I've had the Gary growing for over ten years. Agreed that it isn't consistent, small fruit, grows fast, wide, and lush, and the fruit is very good coconut flavor. Great vid. I guess I'm going to have to binge watch all their vids this weekend! Thanks for the link.
