Mango Comparo at Harry's

sleep
12 years ago

So, I decided to take a bunch of my prized Glenn mango's over to Harry's place and see how they would stack up.

My Glenn's get the best of treatment, no irrigation, foliar sprays, Potassium, Iron, and no Nitrogen. I figured they would fare quite well against most mango's.

Harry, being the great host as always, took me around the forest picking a # of varieties with his super cool fruit picker..

Then time for the tasting. Harry made a remarkable spread, and we sat and sampled quite a few varieties

Needless to say, quite an experience.

Mango ranking is such a subjective task, as everyone may have their own opinion as palates differ. Also degree of ripeness, etc can have quite an effect on the fruit.

I will however rank my top four from this afternoon's selection ..

1.Thai Everbearing . ( Just amazing flavor)

2. Southern Blush

3. Fairchild

4. Carrie

In the mix, maybe mid pack, was my Glenn. It has a great initial "hit" of sweet flavor, but then sort of fades away too quickly .
