strongest orange flavored mango is peach cobbler, that name should be changed. let it ripe to medium firm and taste it, if it is soft its gone too far.
Yes! Its a super tangerine flavor. I like its original nickname, "Oh Too" which is a spin off its 0-2 number.
Do you agree with the ripening procedure? If so this is useful to me. I have had 3 and probably let them go over ripe. Tasted yuck
Not sure what you mean by the "ripening procedure." Do you mean by knowing when to pick due to the almost complete lack of color change? I wouldn't let them get soft on the tree. You do have to figure out the best stage to pick and then let it ripen off the tree. If done right, they are fabulous.
I guess what I meant is if I buy one hopefully the person who picked it knew what they were doing. When I take it home and let it ripen to be a little soft to the touch or still firm to the touch. Other than being unprecocious it sounds like a must have mango.
On day eight our orange sherbet were spectacular. I feel confident enough to pick some more 
Thanks for your guidance. I should probably post some pics of my sweet tart they haven't changed much for weeks not much yellow
Yes, should be a little soft to the touch but be careful, it goes to too soft/ripe quickly once it starts to soften.
Count yourself lucky if the squirrels arent getting to your Sweet Tarts.

Like one of the California crew States it is about population control. This spring I eliminated the Bad John males who carried big nuts. They are quite bold which it makes it easier to deal with them. The young females are much more cautious. But once they learn there's a food source such as guavas they have to be dealt with. As long as their content in the front yard eating nuts I don't bother with them because as you take some out of the territory others will migrate in. They have a forging pattern and are territorial when squirrels come from the outside of the territory they receive quick attitude. But is usually only a matter of time before the good squirrels turn bad. In my area they seem to prefer guavas because they can take it with them to a safe green zone to have a nice snack. They seem to have a short memory so I constantly have to intimidate but when one of their friends has a tragic demise they will ghost away for about 3 days but shortly after that they will return to forage. I lost a couple pink guavas and I was okay with that but when they went past it and for Zill white guava that's when I got pissed. Actually by Nature I am a pacifist but I have my limits. But no so far this season I have not lost any mangoes but I am a little concerned when those Sweet Tarts give off a fragrancany there might be trouble. I have found that their Achilles heel is whole roasted unsalted peanuts. The only thing that concerns me more is Frost protection Even In The Heat Of Summer when I look at my Piccabeen palm tree I'm thinking of buying more trunk wrap.
Fortunately for me i have a Sentinel in my mother-in-law. Who gives me a daily report their behavior and l foraging patterns. They usually visit our yard from 7 till 9 and from 3 till 5
Thank goodness mother owl brought her Offspring for squirrel training this spring. There's nothing better I like to hear then ho ho ho at 4 in the morning
