It's actually backwards. It's common knowledge that one way to mitigate internal breakdown is to pick mature green. It's even mentioned in IFAS' "Mango Growing in the Home Landscape" article (scroll down to "Internal Breakdown" http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/mg216).
I know this from experience -- having picked mangoes at various stages over the past few harvest seasons. Flavor is often enhanced by picking mature green.
OS is one mango that is very prone to internal breakdown disorders and should be picked mature green.This picking green $hit is the cause of a lot of the tasting issues.
Sirry, I disagree 100%. Any mango picked green will hae some level of acidity that one picked tree ripe wont have. I have been picking these for many years at Walter's and have had the ability to try them at many stages. To me and most who purchase from him (and those I have personally sold to, tree ripe rules.
I have eaten a ton of mangoes picked mature green from ZHPP, totally different experience and not usually in a good way. If you look backbat many reciews on Gardenweb of the newer varieties that were numbers before they were named, the fruit were not given high praise. The Sweet Tart and Pineapple Pleasure, to name a couole, were horrid picked green. Pina Colada could have been sold to the school board as teacher's chalk.
Bottom line, to each their own...BUT...mist that I have sold to and shared with very much prefer tree ripe. These are mangoes to be eaten niw, not shipped commercially.
Pineapple Punch? Fruit Cocktail? Please ensure the accuracy of the names before postinv. It will avoid confusion, the spreading of inaccurate names and incessant telephone calls to a wholesale nursery that they do not want to field.
I will change the note here, but wonder why Peach Cobbler was not on the list. that has more citrus flavor than most "labeled orange" mangoes.
It is not a geffner for sure because she has a geffner for sale.
Nah, it is a different cultivar being called Australia here. Steve said that it is a cultivar from Australia that he received from a grower in California. Tim and Australia are two different varieties being propagated by Fruitscapes. I think both came from "Tim" in California but I could be wrong about that.
Hi. Just saw this. Thinking of getting an Ugly Betty. just curious - why did you sell it? production issues, size. I am in east Boynton,, just east of Congress.
