Anyone know anything about Amy? Tried a few at Walter Zills and was impressed with its production and flavor, and definitely want to know more.

Was it named for Rob's (bsbullie's) wife?  Walter couldn't tell you anything?

I'm bumping this up because someone out there has to have some more info, and it's going to be at least another year before this one is large enough to fruit.

The sap smell on mine smells like geranium/ camphor.

I'm really curious what flavors come through for people, as I can imagine a pretty interesting result with a sap that smells like this.

For the OP, it came from Gary's project, D-2, Jakarta seedling.

I've never encountered that geranium-type sap smell before in another mango. I recently realized that I had, but it was never all that apparent due to other aroma influences.

Name notwithstanding, the guava mango has complex underpinnings. It often contains a strong guava aroma, but not always, and has many other aromatic qualities that get lumped as "Indian" flavored and "resinous". If the deeper dive is sought, I would note that my Guava mango seedlings have a similar sap smell to Amy, with geranium type resin. It's not as simple as the only flavor as is often the case with indochinese types, but it certainly is the resin at the forefront.
