Considering honey kiss vs. Dwarf hawaiin mango
« on: December 31, 2021, 10:37:36 PM »
I want to do a patio, dwarf mango.   From things I've read, the seem to be 2 very good choices.  Can anyone give pros and cons on each?

The main reason I'd do dwarf Hawaiian in soflo is because of the early season.
I prefer honey kiss in every other way.
If you like the other flavor maybe Julie might work for you

Dwarf Hawaiian has better flavor but does have some fiber which people who can’t tolerate any fiber in a mango are going to object to. I love the Dwarf Hawaiian personally though. The flavor is very similar to Julie with lots of coconut notes.

Honey Kiss is the stronger producer and has no fiber. The Fruit also matures later in the season.

I see that the OP is in Arizona however. Neither may be a good choice in that climate as they’ll probably grow too slowly and flower too frequently.
