Looks gorgeous, nice tree and garden.

Pickering was my other mango (I have Mallika) but it died in transport when I was bringing it back from CA.  I heard great things about it.

Pickering is the all-around best mango tree there is!  God bless the Zills!

I've got a pickering that I had in a pot for a while and just put it in the ground a couple months back. It's pretty small. It is holding 1 mango right now but has not grown otherwise yet this year. Is it normal for mangos not to flush while growing fruit?

Yea believe it or not this is the first year shes been in the ground- I put her in the ground in September 2019 - she’d been in container for 4-5 years . We moved in August 2019. I love this tree soo much!!

Pickering is a winner in my yard!
I wish I had room for at least 5 more Pickering !

I really like the Pickering, but I prefer the taste of the Honey Kiss. Comparing the two only because they both are very productive and stay small. Pickering is mid-season while HK is mid to late season.

Their flavors are so different.  I like both.
