Which “Borneo mango” has the best taste?

Pajang, foetida, casturi, kuini, ka-long (Mangifera pentandra),
Kemanga, Wanii. Hybrids?? Others??

I have only tasted Wanii (Mangifera caesia) from Bali and it is really good.

Anyone have tested the others??
Thinking which to plant the most of.

We have several planted. The only one that has produced has lost its identity but it’s good. Kuini is flowering right now for the first time and others in the area are good. I have had Wanli in Malaysia and it was good although there are different varieties.
What I’ve had I like. They are a different fruit than indica and so shouldn’t necessarily be compared to the best indica selections which don’t do well in our area. Still, I think I would grow the Borneo mangoes even if choice indica produced well here.

I liked Casturi. Pretty fibrous, small and has a sort of diesel funk to it but also a sweet passion fruit mango taste.

It’s good to hear some positive about the Borneo mangoes.
Yeah true shouldn’t compare to indica because indica does not do well here too.
We get a good crop in every 4 years maybe.
And all indica tree’s we got have leaf miners and larvae inside the new growth plus get stung by the fruit spotting bug hard!

Excited to taste kuini and casturi, I love those funky tastes.

And from a business point of view there is no one here in the market that sells them so don’t have to compete with the commercial indica growers if want to go to market.
Having a lot of rare fruit must be a benefit for you Peter when at the market!

Anyone tasted foetida?? Does it also have some turpentine flavour?

Our wanii have thick juicy new growth but never get stung or have larvae inside the new growth so I am positive about wanii doing well here with all the rain.
Pajang, foetida, kuini and casturi are still to small to see, just came out of the shade house.
