'Egg of the Sun' mango . . .
« on: May 13, 2021, 06:17:58 PM »
(snip) Do they ripen and taste normal? Perhaps these could generate as much interest as the Egg of the Sun mangos??

How does the 'Egg of the Sun' cultivar fit in with the deformed or bizarrely shaped mangos discussed in an earlier thread?

Isn't 'EotS' cultivar the same as 'Irwin'?  Somewhere I read that 'Irwin' is 'the most expensive mango in the world'.  Why would that be the case.  I cannot find anywhere where it explains why.

Just curious . . .

They're very babied Irwins. They taste like Irwin.

Beautiful fruit, but not desirable from a epicure's perspective.

Its not really an eating mango, its meant to be a flattering gift.  A symbol of status

Thanx Mango-Kush, and especially so for the link.

Now after seeing the video I'm glad 'Irwin' is one of the three mango cultivars I chose to try growing.
