Was doing a Google search looking for mango varieties grown in Palm Springs. I was interested in what mango varieties that grow in Palm Springs California for it is under very harsh conditions. Well my Google Assistant did me a solid by introducing me to the Palm Springs Florida Mango.

My friend Gary (Mangofang) lives in Palm Springs and grows an assortment of mangos. He grows some of the best Lemon Zest mangos I’ve ever tasted.

Here’s a picture of his Lemon Zest tree full of fruit



It seems that most of the varieties do well there if you protect it from extreme heat. I believe he tries to shade his trees when it gets super hot. Some of his trees must be too big to shade now.

If he grew a particularly good seedling, he could name it the "Palm Springs CA" mango.
