unfortunately I am out of room for more trees but I would love to graft a variety here and there, maybe everywhere.
I'm looking forward to trying some of the varieties I've heard about here next season.
varieties I have not tried yet such as:
providence
guava
zinc
LZ
and I would like to continue to evaluate fruit from others like*:
M4
P or k 22?!
pineapple passion or pleasure?!
fruit punch
Honey kiss
Sweet tart
venus
*On this list besides the first two mentioned, I realized after talking to Rob that it may have not been properly picked and ripened fruit so I hope to get more of them in my belly earlier in the season next summer.
I'm also really hoping to get my hands on "cotton candy"; I'd like to try that one most of all and see how it compares to M4. Or are they the same?! cue the suspenseful/ dramatic music! dun dun duhn!
I have been reading various posts on a late season mango and here is the list I have gathered so far.
Keitt - I tasted this recently and liked it, general consensus is that Keitt is the latest in the season.
Beverly - I tasted this recently and liked it, not sure if this is as late as Keitt/Neelam.
Neelam - I haven't tasted this yet, but my young tree has one mango and I am waiting for it to ripen, there are mixed reviews about it, Neelam could be as late as Keitt.
Kent - I have one older tree with decent amount of fruits, but I liked Keitt and Beverly better, not as late as Keitt/Neelam.
Honey kiss - I haven't tasted this, but seeing good reviews about it, not sure if this is as late as Keitt/Neelam
I am tempted to look for a Keitt, but I read that it may be difficult to grow at PIN site (http://www.tropicalfruitnursery.com/mango/keitt-mango.shtml) and also in some posts. Though lot of fruits on my Kent gets hit by Anthracnose pretty badly, based on PIN explanation, fruits are disease resistant, so I guess not to worry much on that part. Should I stay away from it as PIN states that juvenile trees are disease prone and hard to grow?
What are your favorite late ones, how late are they in season?
Anything is possible but what you are describing just sounds odd, especially with more than just 1 fruit. Compost should not have any effect on this. A picture would tell the story. Its very easy to post a picture.
3. Bombay - Huge delicious tangy/sweet mango, very tasty.
Could you please define "huge?"
You beat me to it and took the words right out of my mouth.
