Mango ID???
« on: June 10, 2017, 06:42:59 PM »
So I have been plantsitting for a friend for about a year now.  One of his trees is suppose to be a Pickering, but looks nothing like any Pickering fruit that I have seen.  Anyone have any idea of what variety this is?

Post a picture of the tree, and so we can see the leaves.

Okay.  I will do that tomorrow.  It's crammed in the middle of his other trees, plus it is raining again.

Could those be Mallika?
Looking at the lower pair, that is what it looks like to me but I will defer to the experts in the house.

Never seen a Mallika in person, but here are some pics.  FYI....It's hard to get good shots without moving a bunch of heavy Jack Daniel's barrels/pots.

Definitely not a Mallika and from the leaves, sure looks like a Pickering.

Thanks Rob!  Just confusing because those two fruits are huge!

Pics of the first mysterious mango (tree tagged Pickering) that ripened.  Any suggestions?

That thing reminds me of a Ray mouth :) How big the resident worm? I once bought some mango fruits in Maui and when cut open most of them had worms tunneled inside the seeds even though there was absolutely no evident from outside.

Lmao...Interesting...Then maybe my Pickering is not really A Pickering.   The fruit off of my tree were much smaller with a more rounded shape   Both of our trees are young & basically in the same size pots.  The yellow mango was my First Pickering this year...maybe (posed beside Cogshall).  All of the other Pickerings were the same size.  Pic taken about a month ago.  This is the second year of production for my tree & the 1st for my friends tree.
