Lady's Choice I think counts as one, but you probably wouldn't want to eat that unless you're into East Indian.

They kind of do but it never gets updated.

You have a pretty good collection. Orange Sherbert and Sunrise should also be on the list. I only have these new varieties in ground:

Harvest Moon, Peach Cobbler, Sweet Tart, Pineapple Pleasure, Coconut Cream, Lemon Zest, Ugly Betty, Pina Colada

I thought Orange Sherbert was something that Walter Zill had at his house and never officially started propogating? Not the same as Zill's High Performance where Gary works...

It's Gary's tree..Walter top worked one of his tree to OS...Walter only sells the fruit..Zill HPP has not released the tree for sale yet...the only way to get one is wait or plant a poly seed and wait...

Orange Sherbet and Fruit Punch may or may not be released next year. It seems that Gary is on the fence on those two. (At least that is what I heard from someone who works there.)

I think from all of zills mangoes the coconut cream mango is my favorite. It is fiberless and creamy. Incredible taste. If anyone is interested in any variety in particular please visit the wild papaya nursery at www.thewildpapaya.com. Only a couples varieties are posted but we can get pretty much anything you like just email me with your inquiry. Keep checking back as i will be uploading more varieties.

besides lady's choice, are there any others from above that in your opinion, are NOT worth planting?

Mangosurf · « **Reply #34 on:** February 21, 2014, 06:31:30 AM »

Does Juicy Peach have a flavor similar to Glenn? I planted a Sunrise in December and it is a relatively fast grower. I'm looking forward to trying some of these new releases in the next couple of years when my trees finally produce

mangosurf, what is the growth habit of your sunrise mango in your experience?

Mangosurf · « **Reply #36 on:** February 21, 2014, 09:39:54 AM »

Here is a pic of my Sunrise mango I picked it up from Exotica and it has been steadily flushing with this unusually warm winter we have been having. The tree so far has a bushy growth habit with a lot of lateral branches

I agree... I lover the way the tree grows...very beautiful and strong. Plus, it branches out laterally. and forms a nice vase shape virtually on its own. Think I am going to get another one soon

Wow! Now, I am definitely going to get one. I love how it is branching out so well.

Of the mango trees I have the new Zills releases have been the fastest growing and healthiest. I have 2 Coconut cream, 1 sweet tart, and 1 Sunrise. Other trees include 1 Edward and 1 VP. I am debating on whether to get the Juicy Peach since there isn't much info out there yet but it sounds like an awesome mango! I like that it is a Tommy Atkins seedling because it may help with disease resistance and production. I just hope it doesn't have the fiber and blandness of its parent. Although I'm pretty sure Zills would never release a mango with those characteristics

gunnar429 · « **Reply #40 on:** February 21, 2014, 03:09:32 PM »

still trying to decide on pina colada and pineapple pleasure...gotta wait and try them this summer because a tart mango sounds hit or miss.

Harvest Moon and Ugly Betty get good reviews too. Any plans to get those 2?

I have all four of those: Pina Colada, Pineapple Pleasure, Harvest Moon, and Ugly Betty.... unfortunately I haven't tasted any of them. My Pina Colada had a mango last year, but was unripe when I tasted it. :-( The Pina Colada is a small mango. My Pina Colada is covered with flowers now, so I am optimistic of some fruit this year. The Pineapple Pleasure is a larger mango and was good enough that a friend removed his Pina Colada to make room for a Pineapple Pleasure. Subsequently we heard the Pineapple Pleasure is a shy bearer.

If you are into aesthetics, Harvest Moon is a very pretty tree. I tried the fruit last summer and its delicious as well.
