That's just not this year.  Last year, the first year I tasted them, was even better.  This year they are still excellent but slightly flavor reduced at my house anyway.

If I tell that to my daughter i would have to post an armed guard in front of those trees, I can see now that I wont be sampling as many as i hoped! Hard to believe they can be even better than I tasted, now I really have something to look foward too next year.

My Angie is not quite ready yet. I picked a couple fruit off the tree but the majority are just starting to get a blush so I'm hoping will be ready soon.

We just had a couple rippen the last 2 days,the majority are not ready yet,same as you described,but the 2 we had were great and Harry says the ones he had last year were even better,hard to believe but sounds good to me.

Might not just be the Angie mango, might also be your daughter's taste buds changing? We tend to assume that we always have the same taste preferences, but clearly this is not true. Tastes evolve and change, especially from childhood to puberty, and then from puberty to adulthood. But even in adulthood i notice lots of changes and evolution in my taste preferences. With most fruits the more times i try them the more i get to appreciate them.

But you still don't have any trees for sale, do you, Mike?

Dying to plant an Angie.  Wish someone was grafting them.

My Angie tree fruited last season and the fruit was excellent tasting. Luckily this year my trees crop is a bit larger.

I have had the same experience as Harry this year.  The Angies on my tree have not been as good as last year.  My tree is still holding the majority of its crop, so I am hoping that the later ones will be better.

Steve at Fruitscapes says he will have some 3 gallon Angie trees available later this summer.

Sorry i was not able to get back to anyone last nite,we had computer issues(damm Comcast),then the Miami Heat Game started and Go Heat!! I will be the first to admit that my taste buds are not a mango connesuirs but is was very sweet not overpowering and definitely the best out of what I have tasted this year,even better than the few Edwards i had.

No unfortunately the few we were able to graft got some kind of fungus or mold and did not make it,dont know what it was other than guessing the grafting knife or some sort of contamination occured. Hopefully we will be able to graft a bunch after the crop is in this year,time permitting.

Got to try our first Angie last night, I've got to say as bad as the rain has been in FL, it's still an AMAZINGLY tasty mango.  I thought very highly of Pickering, but IMO, Angie's got an arm, leg & leap over the former...no contest.  Is the tree really semi-dwarf and what's its production like?  It'd be awesome to see picture of the whole tree.  There are some pics of this tree on GW posted by SWrancher & Sleepdoc from last year, any update?






Cuts better than a hot knife through butter, the blade went right through effortlessly...




Cleaned the seed real good and didn't get a single fiber in my teeth

I don't have any current pics at the moment, but the tree has actually put on little size over the past year.  It held 20 or so fruit in 2011, and then only partially flushed once after harvest.  This year the fruit set about doubled, with 40-50 fruit making it to maturity. This is it's 3rd year in the ground iirc.

It is definitely larger in habit than the Pickering, maybe Cogshall-ish in size but a bit more spreading in shape.  That's my experience anyway ... Hope that helps, and I'll try to get some pics soon

Is the angie mango an Edward seedling? From memory, the leaves had the similar wavy habit. The fruit shape seems to bear some resemblance too. Is the flavor similar to Edward?

not at all

Sleepdoc from last year, any update?

Angie.  About 2/3rds of its crop harvested.

[Cookie Monster]

Interesting. The leaves and growth habit look like a carrie from a distance.

Yeah, IMO, it tastes like a Carrie Seedling.  Tree is Carrie like, but not quite as dense growing, with darker leaves .. At least thats how it is in my soil...

 Maybe Carrie x Alphonso ?

[Cookie Monster]

Ohh. That's really interesting. If it tastes anything like a carrie, then it must be quite delicious.

Hmmm...are you saying Angie taste similar to Carrie? Guess I'll have to pass on getting this one 

Just not a Carrie fan, but the Angie was something that looked really good to me, oh well...I don't need another tree for now anyways,lol...

[Cookie Monster]

HAHAHA. I'll bet that what you dislike about the carrie is the pungent / strong odor when fully ripe. There's a whole 'nother side to the carrie, which is when it's slightly underripe and still tart. At that stage, the carrie is sweet, creamy, and lacks the pungent odor. The val-carrie has the sweet/creamy part of the carrie flavor but lacks the mushy consistency and strong odor, even when fully ripe -- making it an excellent mango at all stages of ripeness. My guess is that the angie is the same way.

Angie is an Edward seedling, per Noris Ledesma.
