First of all, OS is certainly a dulled -down citrus mango compared to PPK and LZ but still an elite mango IMO. I even Would go as far as saying PPK Can hold it’s own in comparison to LZ, IF LZ isn’t at its best. They are all different flavor profiles but in a battle of citrus mangos, I take PPK, LZ, OS, Okrung, in that order based on consistent eating quality alone. I know peeps might hate on me for calling okrung in the citrus category but I think it to be true I’d call it “key lime pie” or “honey-lime” if I could. I might even throw “Philippine” in the citrus category and probably Mallika too with its tangerine/orange flavors.
Secondly, ZHHP definitely picks too early, year after year. Usually Everything is chalky but still get an idea of what flavors the mangos are capable of, However IN MY OPINION mangos like Sugarloaf actually benefit from being picked early and ripening more evenly.
