Very Yellow Donut Peaches that taste like Mango
Comments (5)"Found some yellow donut peaches at the farmer's market with completely yellow skin and yellow flesh...The flavor was reminiscent of mango..." About four or five years ago I bought a few pounds of pluots that tasted like a very sweet mango. Best pluots that I ever had. I wish that I could find them again....See Moredwarf avocado, mango recommendations
Comments (18)i have heard of it along with a few other trini jamaican varieties but have never seen an actual tree or fruit. down here you mostly see the varieties they cultivated specifically for this region or asian varieties that flourish better in humidity like nam doc mai. in order to get those varieties you would have to ship a graft and im not sure of the protocol for that. i am not interested in these haden seedling/florida cultivars too much, i grow julie, alphonse, nam doc mai, po pyu kalay and chocanon mango varieties from the islands like Julie may have Anthracnose problems here Here is a link that might be useful: BRVFC has an extensive list of mango varieties...See MoreMango Tasting......Ivory Mango
Comments (8)Sorry for torturing you Gary.....actually, by this time in the season I start to have mango-itis. That's inflamation caused by eating too many mangoes. Not really, but there does come a point when I start to get "mangoed out." JF: Lancetilla was quite good. It ranked in the middle of the pack for the mangoes we were tasting that particular day. You have to remember, the mango trees I purchased over the years have all been rated "excellent" for eating/flavor quality or they have been raved about by someone I thought had sufficient mango knowledge/experience for me to rely on their judgment and go get that particular variety. If I were ranking the tasting table we had that day as pictured, the Dot was a good solid 9.5 (that is about as good as a rating as I give as I think there always has to be some hope left in one's mind that there still could be a mango somewhere that is even better). I would rate the Valencia Pride, Ivory and Lancetilla hovering in the 8.5-9.0 area. The Kent and Golden Lippens were solid 8.5's and the unknown mango and Gold Nuggett brought up the rear as hovering between 8.0 and 8.5. I use the hovering rating method as different parts of a particular mango can actually be better/worse than other parts. For reference, I rank Ataulofo (Champagne) mangoes that you can readily buy in the store as varying between 4.0 to around 6.0 on their best day. Tony (SWRancher) brought up a point in another thread about the Ivory mango possibly being the same as Tog Bi Con (which I also have). I bought it at the Broward RFVC sale about 1 1/2 years ago. It was one of the very few mango trees (of any size) that did not bloom this year. By not blooming, it really had a very nice growth spurt and I'll see next year what the fruit looks like on it. I bought the tree because Murray Corman (Garden of Delights) said that it was an excellent, very sweet mango....very late and looked kind of like a banana. Here's the leaves on the two for comparison. Tog Bi Con: From July 22, 2011 Ivory: From July 22, 2011 Not sure one can draw any definite conclusions....but I certainly cannot exclude the possiblity that they are the same.

Comments (3)Big red fibreless sweet juicy mango's are also in my favorites. This is one of my favorites, it is Yu-wen mango from Taiwan. I arrived late at the stand so the real red ones were sold out. They also can get bigger then this, mine was 1 kg. Sweet, no fibres and juicy. But the big size gave good chunks of flesh. Kook long krom is also in thailand i believe. I never ate it because it's not much sold. There are better ones around. I have high expectations of the new Taiwanese giant mango's. They weigh 1-2 kg a piece and should be great. I hope mine fruit next year so i know what i'm growing. Yu-wen is a keeper allready, i love it....See Moretropicalgrower89
