Worth collecting?MikeCan only comment on Jean Ellen. Good points......early, consistent, disease resistant and manageable growth habit. Bad points.....better than Tommy Atkins or most other store bought mangoes, but mediocre (being kind) in flavor and flesh to seed ratio as compared to the better backyard grown mangoes here in Florida.
Harry - if you jog your memory, I brought you Juliette to try when I came by with the Orange Sherbet and Lemon Zest.

So, my inability to comment remains. Sorry. Either it wasn't memorable or it just got lost in the blur that mango season tends to be with all that goes on. Did I comment on what I thought of the mango when we tried it?
Fruit Punch is awesome but I heard it does not produce well. That being said, I would still plant it . . . it was that good.
