Bo, you are officially a mango aficionado!

No! Not until I pass the online course from Tropical Acre Farms.  Mango 101
I have heard Alex does not grade on a curve . LOL
I've read all the descriptions on the website, but tasting is truth.

I have unsuccessfully so far convinced Alex to get a walk-in cooler to freeze mangoes. Then during bloom season have a Buxton Spice Festival over in the park next to Tropical Acres Farms. We'll hire a reggae band and put up a booth and sell jerk chicken. I have thought about being a consultant to the West Palm Beach County tourism board.

My Coconut Cream tree gave me her first ever fruit and it was exquisite.  Great coconut flavor and so sweet.  It was like Golden Syrup had been poured over it.  I can't imagine there could be a better tasting mango.

My Zest for IndoChinese mango taste has dropped with overload and burnout.

I have regressed to primarily mangos such as Classic, Indian-Alphonso, etc. with few exceptions.

I agree with Chris video saying I have many favorites. Here are some of my recent memorable:

#1=Valencia Pride (now a large tree producting sweet sweet fruit)
Super Julie or Carrie
Fruit Punch or O-15
Keitt
Kent
PPK
Nam Doc Mai #4
Sweettart

waiting on M4 and some later Keitt to sample.

If new to the game, hopefully you will not get indochinese mango overload lol...

Also remember, young trees are often lacking in normal sweetness so do not expect them to be great in 1 to 2 years after planting a 3 gallon tree, if your lucky you will be lucky in the first 2 years after planting a 3 gallon plant (sweettart is the usual exception to this rule of mine).
