Hi all mango maniacs,
I would love to hear some experiences on this one. Tasted a few this year and loved the classic mango sweetness with very fiber. Is this typical? Is the tree a heavy producer? Disease resistant? Thank you in advance.

Really good classic mango flavor, but needs spraying for good fruit set. A good to very good producer if the conditions are right, but not very disease resistant.

Can't speak to growth characteristics, but I've had a few from different sources and they've all had that awesome classic flavor and no detectable fiber. A top 5 for me (tied as one of the top 5 with my childhood Hadens). Chris at Truly Tropical has a video on it that's worth watching.

They produce well in coastal areas. Anthracnose prone inland. One of the best classically flavored mangos. Fruit has pretty short shelf life once ripe.
