      It’s a great fruit, our tree just hasn’t been as productive for us as PPK and a Lemon Zest. It was hit hard by the Jan 2022 freeze. Hopefully it will move up our list in the next few years.

    Hey guys! I’m on mango number two, coconut cream. Pretty excited, first one I got is NDM and that one is doing well after one year in the ground, it’s amazing how fast they grow.

      How exciting! You chose two great varieties. Nam Doc Mai is one of my favorite trees in our yard - it’s shaped so nicely and the fruits are always very clean. The fruits can also be eaten green or ripe. And Coconut cream is amazing! So good that I recommended it to my parents as their only mango tree. We appreciate you kind comment. We love each other very much and just celebrated 28 years of marriage.

    1. Carrie (Sulcata Grove will strongly disagree, but Carrie wins so many many taste contests it is often banned from competition. It's certainly my neighbors favorite and I am lucky to even get a few before they take them all. Could have better production. Only tree I would probably plant two of.)
    2. Glenn (I agree best all around mango. Great Aroma - Never tried an Elon though. Many nurseries promote Glenn for those customers who only want one tree)
    3. PPK (Flavor ranges from Lemony to Orange Creamsickle. Similar to Orange Sherbert but still a bit better. If you have PPK you don't need Orange Sherbert.)
    4. Mallika (Tastes like a Carrie on Steroids. Strong Flavor maybe a bit spicy. Mallika flavor will grow on you. But if you don't like Carrie then you might not like Mallika. Some places recommend Mallika to customers if they are out of Carrie. I have never found Camel Dung or any special ripening techniques to be necessary)
    5. Lancetilla (Very under rated extra large. Think of a 5 pound Glenn only just 100% pure Mango Flavor in a good way. Takes longer to ripen due to large size. Eating an extra large ice cold peeled Lancetilla over the kitchen sink on a hot summer day is a memorable experience. Don't slice it just dive in face first )
    6. Edward (Unique Creamy Texture. Many old timers list it as #1. Some claim it is a shy bearer, others say it isn't.)
    7. Honorable Mention Keitt - For decent flavor, large size and late and heavy production. Probably the only decent tasting mango grocery stores sometimes carry.

    The one you left out that Alex Salazar (WPB grower) really loves in the category of "best mangos to grow" is Angie. Of the varieties you mentioned, I've planted Honey Kiss, Sugarloaf, and Cecilove in the past year or so. I also planted Orange Sherbet because I have friends with PPK so there was no need to plant that one. My last tree is Little Gem. Other honorable mentions from Alex are Cac and Carla, which he considers an improved Kent. My neighbors have two seedling trees which produce remarkably good mangos. They might even deserve to be named and propagated. If I have a chance, I hope to bring Alex samples this summer.

      Angie has been hit or miss for us. Definitely better when not super ripe. A friends tree near us also had some disease issues, but it may have just been a localized pest or nutritional issue. It’s a beautiful mango and I’ve had one that was delicious. We have a Cac tree. So far, it’s been good but not one of my favorites. Maybe this year will be its year. It’s holding a lot of fruit.

I will keep the main leader branch and keep the others cut off so I can get it to spread out at another 1 ft or so. I am seeing so many ugly shaped trees with this variety. Fruit hanging on the ground is not a good thing either and drives me crazy.
