Jump on these while you can!

Frank is a great seller, and if you have never tried a jabo you definitely should before spending years growing a tree

Thanks!

South Palm Beach County has had almost zero rain in the last month and the trees are getting stressed out from lack of water. The season is looking good so far with the early varieties starting to bloom.

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.

I thought the Cac mango season was finished for my yard and the unidentified mango was either a LZ or Pickering. When I heard it had no citrus notes, I thought Pickering. Then another Cac mango that was hidden in the canopy dropped. Definitely was the sweetest mango I ever tasted.

Just got my medium box from FLnative! Just had 1 of the LZ, so good!

Sorry about only one LZ in your box. Generally, at least two in medium, and 3 in large boxes have been going out. The LZ season is fading fast. I am shipping tomorrow and have enough LZ left on the tree for 3 to 4 boxes. Other varieties included: Cotton Candy; M4; Maha Chanok; Orange Sherbet (1 per box); and Honey Kiss.

Received my order, can’t wait to try them. 5 maha, 3 PC, 1 glen and 2 LZ, came in just shy of 8lbs. Thanks for offering these.

The above post is mistakenly on my thread. I am not selling PC or Glen mangos and am not shipping to Cali.
