Mangoes that taste like Kent?

(1/6) > >>

Hello everyone, I was wondering what other mango varieties taste like Kent? Quang from Ongs nursery mentioned that Kent doesn't grow very fast here in San Diego. My friend that lives down the street from me had a small kent growing and it is not doing very well. It could be that he is not taking good care of his trees but I wanted to know what other options I have for mangoes that taste similar or better than Kent. Thanks in advance!

Kent is a fairly standard like for most mango lovers.  Southern Blush comes to mind as having some similarities to Kent. There are  others.  Spirit of 76 also engenders the same level of taste enjoyment in many people that try it.  I am commenting on the general likeability as much or even perhaps more than actual flavor I guess.  Each mango has its own nuance of flavors.

I've found that most of the Keitts I've eaten have a flavor similar to Kent.  Am I the only one?
