Tropical Fruit Discussion / Which Mango tree is “The Coconut King”
« on: April 02, 2024, 05:37:54 PM »
My fellow Mango Maniacs. Lend me your ears.
I’ve been following the “coconut mango collection” cultivars from Gary Zill for quite some time. I’ve been trying to evaluate peoples opinions and experiences since about 2017. That makes me still very new to this.
Of the mango cultivars people would claim to have “coconut” flavor i want to hear everyone’s experiences with them please. If I don’t mention one please add it to the list. I would love to know about:
Disease resistance
Ease of blooming
Production
Flavor
I’m a huge fan of most mangos that have coconut flavor. Excluding one which I won’t mention for fear or bias.
Of the “coconut mangos”, In my yard I grow
Sugarloaf
M-4
but of-course there is also
Pina colada
Coconut cream
And maybe more im forgetting
In my north Miami area -yard, m-4 does the best so far but it’s too young to evaluate really(4 years old )
Sugarloaf barely produces but a couple fruits a year so far (it’s 7 years old).
PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHICH YOU THINK IS BEST “COCONUT”
MANGO TREE AND WHY. PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR LOCATION FOR CLIMATE COMPARISONS.
thank you
