First mango fruit of 2017

Honey Kiss. Fruits are about .75 lbs and are very slow growing and not great looking. But the 2 year old tree is producing like a Rosigold and Pickering in terms of quantity.  Flavor and sweetness is excellent despite the appearance.

Wait a minute!  I thought Honey Kiss was a late variety.

If it was an early bloom, then fruit is early.  I have seen ripe Venus and Sweet Tart in May.

I find it odd that it has no color and the green did not even lighten up.  I wonder if it had the honey aroma in the skin and sap as well as honey flavor in flesh or just general sweet.

It had an early bloom and later bloom. Here are a few more pictures on fruit still hanging. I don't have a reference for what it should look like but I got the tree from you so I trust it was labeled correctly. This morning I had a honey kiss followed by a Rosigold and the honey kiss is a much much better tasting mango by comparison. I haven't had enough yet to distinguish the honey aroma and these were the first two off the tree.
