I know of a variety called Triumph and also South Florida. I have not seen Triumph for many years and S Florida is available wholesale from Zill in WPB. Good Luck.

I bought my Triumph from you six years ago when you were at Yellow Green Market in Hollywood.  It's remained a small tree, but I like the fruit.  The fruit is larger and better than South Florida, which bears heavily.  I'd love to plant Winterset also.

A lot may still fall off and not mature.  It's early.

I was at Zill’s today. Juana took care of me. I bought 20
of the best mango trees. I asked about Orange Sherbert
She said that they were discontinuing Lemon Zest
and they will start selling Orange Sherbert in its place.
Today is Friday March 9, 2018
This is 100% the G-ds honest truth. Juana did not say when but thought sometime
Before the end of the year.

They don't sell one or two trees, do they?  What would be the smallest purchase? 20 trees, like you bought?

Another mango that everyone kept raving about , and one which was hard to get, was the Angie. I have one in the ground and it is fruiting for the first time this year. Has a lot of pretty looking fruits on it now. I got it based on the hype and i hope I won't be disappointed.

I planted Angie as well, based on Richard Campbell's promoting it so grandly.  It's a good mango--beautiful large fruit, smooth and fiberless, acceptable flavor, manageable tree.  But nothing I would ever recommend based on flavor alone.  Carrie has got to be sweeter.

Hopefully we get some of the better atemoya varieties from California to plant here.  The ones JF is growing.  Supposedly almost as good as cherimoyas .  Let's work on that, Johnny!

Taralay is a awesome mango..... totally underrated

I agree...its delicious

Totally agree as well! Made my top 5 list last year 🤓

What is its season in general--early, mid, or late?  Is it a big tree or compact?

I have not tasted Orange Essence, but my favorite among the others that Har and Marlys spoke about is Cotton Candy. That is an amazing mango. I also wonder why more people are not talking about Seacrest and Ugly Betty.

What's the flavor like besides super-sweet?

I watched all three videos on Truly Tropical's YouTube Channel in which Har Mahdeem and Marlys Zill discuss the new Zill varieties, and their favorites seem to be Peach Cobbler, Juicy Peach, Fruit Punch, Cotton Candy, and Orange Essence although they had good things to say about the others.  By the way, do we have any idea if Zill will release Orange Sherbert, which is a favorite of Richard Campbell?

Yes, pawpaw, that would work.  But I've never had the opportunity to taste one.

Keep in mind that these cherimoyas don't grow in the mountains, but rather in semi-tropical valleys with elevations of around 6600 ft. (like Mizque in Bolivia), where it doesn't snow.  My wife is from Bolivia, and I confirmed this with her.  So if you were thinking they might grow in Kentucky, that wouldn't be the case.

 

Steve told me Tim is better then dream and they should have Tim
available also.

So Tim is an atemoya?
