After a spectacular show of flowers I only have two fruits to show for it. Most the flowers work male.
The sap has what I describe as a green mango smell which I'm my exp means a classic flavor.
So hopefully it's different enough from Edward and will resolve the flower imbalance
I'll report it with flavor in the summer
One survived to maturity
Started turning yellow on the tree.
We have an Edward on the right and the seedling (what I'm referring to as Canal...simply because it is on a canal bank)
Flavor
So this is solidly in the Classic camp. (maybe classic acid)
It seems I might have left it for one day past its prime since the area near the seed was going a little overripe.
Under the skin is really firm and that area had a slightly more pronounced bitterness than a typical Edward, even had a crunch to it.
Just enough to know that it's there, nothing crazy but in my book, it does deduct some point
Edward has more of a smooth slightly viscous sweet juice where this is more fruity (Both classic in flavor)
When compared Canal was a more exciting flavor due to the addition of acidity. (i can't really tell if it was sweeter since the acidity will throw off the comparison...no brix meter)
No fiber, good seed-to-flesh ratio.
First-year fruiting and flowering, flowered prolifically, fruit set not great
Its right on my canal bank and no disease issues of the fruit, my Edward gets a little anthracnose.
The best way to describe it by means of other mangos is the outer part of the flesh is like an Edward (a day or two before its prime) and the inside is like a Baliey's Marvel
My verdict is I'll give it another two years to see if some of the negatives improve. (shelf life, production)
