I am trying to find out the parentage on the newly released Pineapple Pleasure.For those in the know, yes, that means you murahilin and Jeff, there was a cross they were experimenting with: Valencia Price x Nam Doc Mai. I was a little curious if this was the new Pineapple Pleasure...well, it isn't. BUT, I did find out that they WILL be releasing this cross in the near future under the name Candy.
Thanks for the info. The PP sap has a citrussy smell like the coco cream. Have you tried the candy?Quote from: bsbullie on April 19, 2012, 05:51:00 PMI am trying to find out the parentage on the newly released Pineapple Pleasure.For those in the know, yes, that means you murahilin and Jeff, there was a cross they were experimenting with: Valencia Price x Nam Doc Mai.

Interesting. What was the experimental number?
Quote from: Cookie Monster on April 19, 2012, 07:34:38 PMInteresting. What was the experimental number?I don't remember off hand (will look back for any pics or notes) but it looked very much like a NDM shape with a little bit of rosy blush.
Any idea of the disease resistance of the new mangoes? Or how large they grow?
Quote from: Cookie Monster on April 19, 2012, 07:34:38 PMInteresting. What was the experimental number?I can't remember seeing an experimental number for the ndm x valencia pride. At Excalibur I think they were just labeled as ndm x valencia pride. Jeff, maybe you or Patrick can ask next time you are there.
Geez ! I just can't keep up. I'm pretty much out of room at this point. Soon might be chop and top time for some so-so varieties like Alphonso and Young/Tebow ...
