Frank is a great seller, and if you have never tried a jabo you definitely should before spending years growing a tree
Was this the one off your tree? Was cool to see that!
In my next post I'll share a story about the mango I had last Friday from FLNative that was...the sweetest I've ever had in 14 years on the hunt for the world's finest mangoes.
Color me intrigued
So I stopped by fLNative to pick up a few mangoes. He had one that was clearly a Pickering and the other an un identified fruit. He speculated the unidentified was possibly to be a Pickering that had fallen and had a flat pose, but to me it looked more like an oddly shaped lemon zest, I ate the unidentified mango with the following day. Other than the tip it was perfectly ripe. And it was absolutely ridiculously sweet. I mean drinking straight treacle (a British refined liquid sugar) sweet. I contacted Frank to double back to make sure it wasn’t a mango he purchased from outside and mixed up with his own (he was at Walter’s that day). We worked on trying to figure out the identification. I also reached out to Alex and sent him pictures to see if he could figure out what it was. Serendipitously, Frank went out yesterday and found an identical fruit under the tree and in his words “WOW, that is the best mango of the season. Super sweet”
The tree that he found the fruit under was…
…Cac.
Cac already sits at #10 all time on Future’s Favorite Fifty.
But like this? Even Lemon Zest is at risk if we can replicate this effect.
Now what we’ve figured out is, a tree ripened Cac seems to go over the top on sugar.
Alex confirms he’s experienced this before. This was so sweet it’s worth…rigging up squirrel proof gear to replicate in 2025.
Always something new to learn.
