Here are the varieties:
Alphonso – A quality mango. According to much of the internet, this is the best tasting off all mangoes. I disagree.
Edward - The experts’ choice as Florida’s best mango, but it is a large, light bearing tree. Early season mango.
Glenn - Probably the experts’ second choice. Medium size, heavy bearing tree. I tell people that if you plant only one tree, plant a Glenn. Early season bearer.
Haden - The mango I grew up with and the flavor I think of when I hear the word. A wonderful mango but susceptible to anthracnose. Similar yet much superior to a Tommy Akins variety you find in the supermarket, and which I won’t graft.
Keitt - My latest season mango. Very large, sweet yet tangy fruit. The last few years this has been my heaviest bearing variety.
Malika - Mid season sweet yet tangy mango. Can be picked green, which gives the squirrels less of a chance to take a bite before you do. By far the best mango to ship to friends and family. Mid season bearer.
Nam Doc Mai - Very sweet mango that sometimes I love and sometimes I don’t. This is the mango that the Vietnamese cook green as a vegetable. Some people who really like this mango won’t settle for any other variety. Some seasons it fruits two or three times.
Pickering – A controversial early season mango. Some people are crazy about it, some not. The tree is a heavy bearer and relatively small. The taste supposedly hints of coconut, but I’ve yet to pick up the hint.
Rosigold - A sweet, unique mango because of its jelly-like texture. My earliest fruiting mango.
Valencia Pride - Large mango with a sweet yet mild flavor. Heavy rains just before it ripens can cause the very top of the fruit to split, but you can cut this away and still be left with a large mango. I don’t know of anyone with this tree who doesn’t love it. Mid season.
