Sorry I didn’t know, should have researched that further!

PPK belongs in that group.

Cac Dupuis Saigon Ppk Dwarf Hawaiian Neelam

I had a gratifying moment while tasting mangoes with my wife. She knows nothing of PPK Citrus profile. We had two Lemon meringues and after the first one she says this is very unique. Then as we cut an eat the second one. She looks at me and says this tastes like orange sherbert. I feel very smart in planting that 15-gallon PPK 2 years ago🙂

Time to get busy and plant this Zill indochinese tree. Hopefully three or four years from now I will have a gratifying moment with it.

I have one of the five Mallika. It was actually my first tree because it said condo mango. Going to take a second look at Cushman.

Cecilove is a Zill mango.

Jehangir is an inconsistent to poor fruiter in SFla. It does, however, do well in California.

Sounds like a sapling someone grew and gave it a name we have a few up here but like Walter Zill said in his video. It's fine and dandy that people are proud of their trees but him and his brother have probably destroyed hundreds of better trees. There is one locally in my area that is a sapling of Bombay with no fiber and Mild resin and Spice. I do not want to step on anyone's toes so that's about all I'm going to say but I would like to try it

Trust me, I know Walter extremely well.

Problem with naming and touting a seedling, or even propagating it is that it needs to be proven. It should be monitored for years, and propagated to determine what its offspring will produce. Between Walter and Gary, there have been many seedings that were great the first couple years and then crashed and burned (ala Yi Xaun) and there are other varieties in the total opposite boat (Honey Kiss amongst others come to mind).

Whenever bar oil goes on sale. Are you going to take your saw and stumpify Yi Xaun. If you do maybe you could create one of those Frankenstein trees you despise. I would like to cast a vote for Cecilove and Carla even though I've tried neither. They are at the top of my list for this season after I've taken St Maui and Sugarloaf out of the Queue.

That could be very well true. Rob could have the three sisters tree. Denise Carla and Ceci. That would be unique LOL

I had several Dwarf Hawaiians last night. It has definitely moved up to the top tier non-Zill mango list.
I'm coming to realize that I really like mangoes with spice I'm hoping Little Gem will be as rich and spicy as Dwarf Hawaii. We had several ice cream mangos before we had the Dwarf Hawaiian. The ice cream was very good but the Dwarf Hawaiian was Wow Wow Wubbzy Great!😀

JulianoGS · « **Reply #24 on:** June 01, 2021, 11:34:05 AM »

Some more info on Denise mango. Rated a top tier fruit. I wish to try one some day.
