I had written a long winded post earlier but at the end, i ditched it.
I originally purchased the Lancetilla because of the PIN viewer. this was a few years back, so there wasn't much online opinion from back yard growers. knowing what I know now, I probably would not have purchased it.
At that time, I was looking for varieties that could grow well in container, and would be somewhat disease resistant.
Do i think this mango is a complete fail? no way, even if its just "mediocre" compared to the top tier selections, that means its at least better than Tommy Atkins. and as mentioned, this mango may be great for making Jams and Dehydrating which is something my wife wants to do.
In previous post in this thread I wrote about using fertilizers and thing to increase mango size, Bigger is not always better, Importers of commercially grown mangoes prefer mangoes in the 1-2 pound range, smaller mangoes fetch less price, per pound, in other words 10 pounds of small mangoes will get a farmer less money than 10 pounds of big mangoes.
A great mango like Maha Chanok has the problem of barely making it to a pound. if by some cultivation method there was a way to increase the size of this mango by 25% or so, it would make this mango very marketable for commercial mangoes. on the other end, Increasing the size of Keitt mangoes may not be desirable as they are already tipping 2 pounds on avg, really big Keitts and very small ones go to the reject pile from the exporters, and are sold locally to street vendors.
Back yard growers of course do not have any problem with size ( i would think ) would you complain if your Lemon Zests or Maha Chanoks grew twice their normal size? if taste and texture stayed the same .
