Hi Squam 256 (aka Alex),
Here are some beginning of May fruit at my location that I hope will have some sweetness as most of my April early tree drops were not colorful and not sweet.
Row 1&2 are what I call typical Glen Mango with peach aroma. Row 3&4 are also Glen Mango with peach aroma, however they are always elongated more and always a little earlier to ripen and usually sweeter. This was my only good tasting mango in the month of April. I prefer this elongated line of Glen. Do you have any like this?
Row5 = phillipean, Row 6 = small Haden picked with fungal issues ripening early, Row 7 = Okrung Tong but unfortunately my early ripening Okrung Tong are not colorful and are much inferior to last July 2016 crop with much less sugar and other normal tastes (it was at the top of my list for IMO best tasting mango last year). I am hoping more leaves and heat will result in more sugar, better coloration, and better taste.
Have you had a similar opinion of your harvest on current early ripening mango taste vs. normal ripening time frames?
