That "haze" will disappear.
I am envious of those who own Harvest Moon trees. Mangoes so large you can eat half for your lunch and the other half for dinner..
This one has 17 fruit on it at 7-8 ft tall. It should be noted that only about 50% of the canopy bloomed:
I have one in Loxahatchee around the same size with zero fruit on it.
They are a favorite target of Sri Lankan weevils.
:-) What I thought was HM was really sunrise. In 2011, my wife brought home 2 mangoes from Zills hpp. One was a sunrise and one was a HM, but she had forgotten which was which. Years later (2014), I finally got to try a HM from zills hpp, and I realized the mistake. Sunrise is the whoo hoo mango (I have 2 planted out :-).Mine had serious issues with anthracnose. I only tried one HM fruit but I didn't think it was special.
So you did not like the mango or you did like it?
http://forums.gardenweb.com/discussions/2191790/zills-mangos-whoo-hooQuoteHarvest Moon: This mango is stinkin delicious; sweet with a fantastic creamy consistency.
I live in Palm Beach County just west of the turnpike
Ive had this tree in the ground for 5 years
1.)Its a very vigorous grower , on par with VP
2.)The fruits are huge, like small cantaloupes- they are gorgeous fruit- pink and yellow, they keep well-I've mailed some without issue
3.)the flavor is good, creamy, traditional mango, its yellow fleshed and firm , no fiber at all. - its much better if picked when ripe - totally pink and yellow with no green on it. I don't think the taste is nearly as good as Lemon Zest, for example but its completely different.
4.) For me, its been an excellent producer- I have a lot of fruit on it right now. I know that isn't universal. The tree is planted next to VP, which has hardly any fruit on it this year.
Ill post a photo this evening to show you
Can anybody give me some information on harvest Moon mango? I found one at a local nursery, it is grafted and he says it is a zill tree. The main stem is the biggest that I have ever seen on a mango tree and he says that the actual mangos are the largest mangos out of all the varieties. I am curious of the taste, fiber, size of mango, size of tree, and any information that you have, and personal experience with. What do u like about it?
I have had this fruit and enjoyed it. Large,round, fruity/floral smell, a juice factory. Cannot comment on growth habit but the results seen in the fruit are good for me.
They are very vigorous growers. Light/poor producers of large, fiber-free fruit of excellent eating quality. Not precocious at all so don't expect fruit for a good couple years.
I like the flavor much more than nam doc Mai.
I had tons of bloom and fruitlets only 2 fruits held. I was wondering what happen.....thanks for the info.
The flush on the LZ has still a ways to go to harden off so don't be too upset if it does not flower. In addition, and including the LZ, all your trees are still quite young so dont get frustrated if the wind up holding no fruit. That is a distinct possibility.
