Dwarf Hawaiian mango

[Brev Grower]

Does anyone have any experience eating or growing Dwarf Hawaiian mango? Looking for an early season mango cultivar. Positives and negatives of the tree? Thanks!

Pass.  Uneven ripening.  Average taste...if it weren't early it would be lost and given little attention compared with main season varieties.

Tasted like an amped up Julie to me each season I bought them (yummy). Does seem more prone to anthracnose and has an even poor-er shelf life.

Agree with the above comments. Also it has a bit of fiber so that might be off putting. When i first tasted it it reminded me of a Carrie with fiber.
All the early mangos i've tasted are only OK (Rosigold, Rosa, Dwarf Hawaiian) but at a time when you can't get any other mango, OK is great in my book.

Thank you for your comments and sharing your experiences. Not a lot of info on this one... If it tastes a little like Carrie with some fiber, then it may be worth a try - Carrie being one of my favorites! Maybe I will head down south to pick up a few from TT this coming season. Does anyone know if the Zill farms have any Dwarf Hawaiian to buy(tree or fruit)?

No, ZHPP does not propagate it.  It tastes nothing like Carrie.

In April, with little else around, it tastes great.  A good warm up mango...

Sorry, dont see the need for a "warm up" mango.   I eat plenty of good mangoes to the point i become sick of them by late season.  No need to taint the palate with subpar fruit (I am being polite here).
