Best tasting and most reliable Mangos for Southern California

(1/35) > >>

simon_grow:
I want to start this thread to begin tracking the performance of the top tier Mangos varieties when grown in SoCal. Any information from growers in other Mango growing regions would be greatly appreciated. Varieties that are highly disease resistant in one mango growing region may be a good indicator that they could potentially be a good reliable producer in SoCal although we know this is not necessarily true in many instances.

I will include a few varieties that are not necessarily top tier in everyone’s ratings but some people love these varieties and they are very common in the nurseries so I will include them here.

So far, here is a short list of varieties that taste good and are reliable in SoCal:

Leo 2
Peggy
Leo Z
Sweet Tart
Venus
Edward
Maha Chanok
Glenn
Kesar
Valencia Pride
CAC
Parson
Fairchild
Villa Clara
Thompson
Ivory
Ugly Betty
Cypress
Magcom
Dale
Sunrise
Juicy Peach
Sindhri
Imam Passand
Coconut Cream
Honey Kiss
Peach cobbler
NDM
Kent
Gary
Cotton Candy
Leo Keitt Seedling

 There are a lot more that I can’t remember right now but I just want to get this topic started.

If you are growing a good tasting variety and you notice it produces reliably for you, please post here so that we can compare it to how it performs for others in SoCal.

LZ
Harvest Moon mutant
Edward

Cac
Fairchild
Thomson
Ivory
Villa Clara
Ugly betty
Cypress
Magcom
Dale
Sunrise
Juicy Peach
There are many others but I can’t think right now.

Thanks Frank, the more data points we get, the better. What performs well in one persons yard may not necessarily perform well in someone else’s yard and the list of varieties that don’t perform well is just as important as the list of good performers.

Why don't you guys grow Pakistani Mango Cultivars ?. They should do much better than SE Asia or Indian cultivars (or their seedlings/selections), I mean both Lahore (the capital city of Pakistani Mangoes) and San Diego are almost in the same latitude.
