I strive to plant Mangoes that are disease free (especially MBBS is a big problem in FL) and also have a very long season. Those are my personal experiences from my backyard orchard in Sebring, FL.
Please feel free to add to the list below:
- Rosigold, largely disease free, as early as mid-March where I live. Last fruits were picked late May/early June. Good classical flavor.
- Angie, absolutely bullet proof as far as disease goes. Very productive. From early May into June.
- Pickering, disease free, extremely productive small tree with a coconut flavor. late May/June.
- Glenn, disease free, classic flavor, late May/June
- Karen Michelle, totally disease free, classical flavor, June
- Edward, absolutely disease free, classical flavor, June to early July
- Cac, disease free, interesting flavor, June/July
- Sugarloaf, disease free, pineapple/coconut flavor, June/July
- Orange Sherbet, disease free, citrus like flavor, July.
- Gold Nugget, disease free, classic flavor, July/August
- Peach Cobler, disease resistant, citrus flavor, July/August
- Sweet Tart, largely disease free, great flavor but small fruit with large seed. July/August0
- M-4, disease free, great coconut flavor, August into early September
- Neelam, disease free, Indian flavor, small fruit, late August into early October
Choc Anon might produce in the winter (so they say), but sometimes "they" say a lot of things that don't work out in my yard. So far it only had one crop a year.
I liked Keitt, great flavor, large fruit August/September, but MBBS became too much of a problem. 90+% of the fruit split open long before maturity. Same goes for Lemon Zest, the disease problems due to MBBS become overwhelming. I guess you can spray, but I am not out there every 2 weeks applying fungicide.
Problematic due to extreme disease susceptibility in my yard (so bad that I got rid of the tree):
Keitt, Lemon Zest,
Some disease susceptibility:
Valencia Pride, Maha, Choc Anon, Fairchild, Nam Doc Mai, Malika, Venus
