Another example of the topsy-turvy mango season I had:
Aug 8th. Just found a ripe Glenn.
That’s super late for the early season Glenn.
Are there really “two types” of Maha or is it just a rumor? Some I had beginning of the year were amazing and quickly became one of my top fav mangoes but others later in the season weren’t all that great. I get the flavor can vary due to many reasons but I just want to make sure if I plan a tree I don’t need to find the “right one”.
Maha was so good. 1st yr fruiting. Are they always this good?
As another form of social media, it comes with the territory, I guess.
I know what you mean there, John. That is part of the reason this forum is the only social media I use. Even then, I was hesitant because I know that at times I have been part of the problem. So, when I signed up I picked an Avatar that reminds me of how to be part of the solution.
I have several Mahas hanging on the tree. Can you tell me exactly what you did in terms of picking them and letting them ripen? Did you pick them while still firm and greenish? Did you let them ripen for a long time indoors? "Tropical fruit punch flavors," as you describe it, is what I'm looking for. I hear they can be very delicious, but I always seem to get Mahas when they're just average.
What a great time. Xain's dad made barbecue sandwiches, yucca, rice, beans and mango salsa. They served drinks and tons of mango samples with a nice variety. 0-15, Super Julie and Ice Cream were standouts for me. Xain brought out a Cempedak fruit for sampling but I couldn't hear exactly what it was.
I met all kinds of cool people and it wasn't very crowded at all. They even gave out free mangoes near the end, everybody got at least one.
Pim Seng Mun (nubbins) and Florigon are my favorite so far this season.
That's the problem with naming mangoes like that.
It creates an expectation that might not hit the mark.
Personally I wish they would stick to people names or places.
The Maha could have used another day, but the sweetness was there with that lemony taste. Saving the rest for tomorrow. Very good for a first ever mango from the tree
I wrap them in newspaper and place them inside a Box usually I have an Amazon Box laying around.
Never picked S-76 mangos in May before.
