Any fruit cocktail mango fans
« on: January 15, 2022, 08:31:37 PM »
Have a opportunity to get a three gallon fruit cocktail mango tree. Does anyone have a tree that is producing and are there any fans of the fruit.

Which varieties are on the tree?  Different varieties can have different growth habits as well as may tend to produce fruit at different times of the season.

I think he may be referring to this variety but I too am curious if others like this

Yes bovine I am doing some irrigation work and a fella wants to barter with some trees. That is the only one that he has that sounds interesting

If your looking for opinions of the flavor you can do a forum search and you'll find plenty. Generally though it's a great tasting mango.
As for production, I'm not sure yet.
Maybe some of the people growing this mango can update us.

It’s a lovely Indian/West Indian flavor. Not as resinous as something like Jakarta or O-15 if you find those to be “too much” (I don’t but some Americans do).

Production is modest. Never been a heavy bearing tree at Gary Zill’s property either. But definitely makes enough fruit for a backyard grower with multiple trees.

My fruit cocktail was planted in the ground as a 3 gallon tree, three years ago.  It is flowering now in zone 10a.  Looking forward to first fruit from it this year.
