Cecilove Mango Variety

Alex from Tropical Acres Farms gives a review of the Cecilove Mango in this video. Below is what his website says about this mango Variety.
You can order the Cecilove Tree, get bud-wood and even purchase the fruit from his website at
www.tropicalac...
'Cecilove' is a selection of 'Carrie' from the breeding program of Gary Zill in Boynton Beach, FL. Its pollen parent was likely 'Zill Indochinese' (Zinc), and its flavor group is firmly of the Indochinese hybrid sort. Originally number 34-24, it was given the name 'Cecilove' by Richard Campbell who named it after his wife.
The fruit is ovate in shape, medium-sized and yellow at maturity. The flesh is completely fiberless, yellow and with a rich indochinese hybrid flavor with a defined tart-component that fades as the mango becomes riper, transitioning to a syrupy sweetness with note of 'cola'. Brix measurements of this fruit taken with a refractometer have typically hit in the 20s, outstanding for any mango. The fruit matures mid-season, and is monoembryonic.
The trees have grown somewhat slowly thus far with a compact and dense growth habit.
Cecilove is an interesting newer variety as its eating quality is superb, comparable to other Zinc relatives such as Venus, Sweet Tart, and Buttercream. We are optimistic about its disease resistance due to its Carrie parentage and have a number of the trees growing for evaluation and early returns have been promising thus far. It may prove to be an alternative option to Venus and Sweet Tart should these prove too unreliable for disease or inconsistent blooming.
Flavor: - Indochinese-hybrid
Country: Florida-USA

Love the way characteristics of the tree are brought to fore. Too often it's only about the fruit's flavor... neglecting the tree itself. Good review.

[@audreyasbey3745]

Yeah baby my number one mango. It only took one fruit and now I have 4 top work projects and a couple 1 gallon grafted trees.

[@edisonmelo8126]

😮better than sugarloaf?

[@RepentanceGarden]

😎

[@audreyasbey3745]

Ed M yes better than Sugarloaf.

[@FruitfulTrees]

I had my first sugar loaf today. it was amazing

[@greatergood3706]

Get both Sugarloaf and Cecilove - you can't go wrong

Cecilove is the cousin of Sweet Tart and Kathy. All 3 are mind blowing. The favorite mango of Dr Campbell’s wife who Cecilove is named after is Lemon Zest. This was revealed on a UA-cam video shot in Dr Campbell’s kitchen at a taste testing videoed by Pete Kanaris in 2 parts 3 years ago. Those 2 videos for me were 2 of the best mango videos ever made. And when she said Lemon Zest I jumped up and gave a big hand pumping yeah!!!

I was on the fence about getting this tree, but alas I'm giving in and adding it to my yard. My hesitation was only due to it being a vigorous grower from what I researched.
But ya only live once.

[@greatergood3706]

Acquired Cecilove 7 gallon and Kathy [K-3] Kryptonite 3 gallon Dec. 4, 2023. Both get planted April 2024. ❤️

[@greatergood3706]

​@Vapornator Cecilove is a slow grower low vigor tree from what is my understanding

[@GardenHood]

​@Vapornator yesh its not a vigorous grower at all and can keep smaller actually. It's perfect lol

[@flrbc1ecg]

Thanks Paul another informative video... Can't wait to try one of the originator's favorite

[@paulmctigue8445]

Darn! Now I have to graft One of these haha!

[@OrlandoBackyardGardening]

Yes heard good things about this one... got me a tree from Alex as well

[@Okorokanze2000]

If you had to graft 4 to 5 varieties on one tree What are your choices taking in taste, disease resistant and manageable canopy in to consideration.. no Mallika, Rosie gold, or nam doc Mai.

[@greatergood3706]

Is this the #1 premier mango 🥭 variety?

[@irenenabatov186]

Thank you for the video. Great and informative like always from Alex.
I'd like to hear about this varietie. Like dream comes true thanks.
I'm very sorry Alex suspended budwoods sale.

[@FruitfulTrees]

I didn't know he suspended budwood sales but I'm sure he will have more in the near future. He may just be busy now with selling the mangos

[@greatergood3706]

So much demand for the grafted trees, scions needed for production

[@reyn66]

[@OrlandoBackyardGardening]
