@Brad, you have an awesome property…. Lots of open space and almost no traffic. Affordable Backwoods property is hard to find in So Cal.
@Ben Mango, I agree that they don’t look like the OS photos I have seen. These would have grown larger and turned yellow when ripe. I posted a similar photo a few years ago for confirmation and someone mentioned Sweet Tart - definitely doesn’t taste like sweet tart. Everyone who has tasted the mangos comments on the orange creamy flavor. I had some OS shipped from Florida this year and my OS definitely has more of the Orange flavor. The only other mango graft that I have that would have an Orange flavor would be Seacrest / Triple Sec. It could be soil and dry heat that affects the appearance and flavor. My Valencia Prides always has a nice light coconut flavor.
