My Angie is much larger than my Pickering. I have to top it every year. With Pickering I only cut the lowest branches because I don't want the fruit to touch the ground.Yeah I guess I should stop the nitrogen. But Pickering's been getting nitrogen, too. How do you rate the flavor of Dwarf Hawaiian, Jeff?

I really like it. It is similar to Julie, but in my opinion slightly better tasting. The flesh can be soft; some people may not like that. Definitely worth trying. I just grafted over 1/2 of one of my mallikas to it. One of the most endearing characteristics of the tree is that it will literally bear fruit a year after being grafted (and every single year after that). The most precocious mango I've experienced. Growth rate is ridiculously slow.Quote from: johnb51 on August 19, 2018, 06:23:38 PMQuote from: Cookie Monster on August 19, 2018, 05:38:57 PMYour angie must be receiving nitrogen.Quote from: johnb51 on August 19, 2018, 03:48:17 PMIn the video Har commented about the bitterness of Maha skin.

I remember a time, qa few years ago, when Maha Chanok and Angie were the most talked about varieties in the Forum. I would be surprised if either one of them got into anyone's top 15 list now. That said, I like Angie more than MC.

Sorry Harry...BTW, Sheehan is a big lover of Mahachanok.
I don’t detect any spice flavor in Maha but everyone’s palate is different.
Try eating it when it just barely starts to yellow (still half green). If you snap off a leaf and smell the sap, it's a south east asian smell, but you have to eat them at the right stage. When fully ripe, the spice (and most of the flavor) is gone, and it's a fairly boring mango.Quote from: simon_grow on August 20, 2018, 12:18:48 PMI don’t detect any spice flavor in Maha but everyone’s palate is different.

Some may say that "complexity" comes from being underripe. Hahahahaha (sorry, Jeff...had to do it). Then again, the mango in the video did not have the look of an underripe mango.

Sorry Harry...BTW, Sheehan is a big lover of Mahachanok.Well, no apologies for my previous extolling of Maha…..Sheehan's taste or lack thereof notwithstanding. On its best day, and there are many during a given season, Maha can stand amongst the best. It may not win the blue ribbon on a given tasting table but its flavor, disease resistance, growing characteristics and long season make it a good addition to any grower's grove. Contrary opinion is always welcomed but just not correct....LOL.
my mom said in Asia, we pick the mango green and let if ripe off the tree. It tastes better that way.
