To me, the best chance of almost everyone loving the taste of it, would be a Glenn. It has a great sweet taste, and it probably won't be too rich for some people. It always wins taste tests at ours and many other fruit clubs. It is a vigorous grower, becomes a nice sized tree.

I would go with Carrie, its fruit are one of the best tasting, with no fiber at all. Its a small compact tree, thats low maintenance, productive and disease resistant.

As far as a mango thats productive with a taste that everyone loves, I'll offer Valencia Pride as an option. It is a very mild and sweet (canned peaches in heavy syrup...)taste, but the trees grow very large, very quickly.

My best advice is try a bunch of different types at local farmstands and friends. Go to the Mango Festival held at Fairchild Gardens in Miami in July, they have samples of many types of Mango available. About the only type, I would say don't bother with is "Tommy Atkins" leave that for the supermarkets.

Would Alphanso grow in FL? its THE best mango.

I have 3 HADEN, the old original... huge- sweet -stringless and the aroma is 'knocks your socks off' delicious, no bugs bother it and it can take colder weather... what more can you ask ? sally
