Hi Wanda,

I don't have this variety, but saw it for sale at a local nursery last year. Got my curiousity, so I did some research and found this link from Pine Island Nursery website...no wonder they decided to call it Lemon Merinque Mango, lol...try saying that three times in a row. PIN gave it a very good rating!

Sounds like it would be very good tasting though, good luck with your new tree.

Here is a link that might be useful: Lemon Meringue Mango

Thanks Puglvr. I love mangos but I thought I would try some thing new. The tag said it was extremely fungus resistant. So we'll see. Now I can wait for next year or two for the fruit.

Wanda,

I just tried this one at Josan Growers and liked it. As mangoes were in season, I was able to try a number of different varieties before buying any fruit. I can only describe the lemon meringue as "different" - and good. I had just tried nam doc mai (yum) and Florigon (yum)and the lemon meringue was very different in flavor from either one. I wanted to buy some of the lemon meringue fruit but the one I tried was the last one. I was able to get a number of nam doc mai and florigon to temporarily quench my mangoe thirst! I am starting to see the difference in the fruits (all good). Anyway, I found the lemon meringue to be milder in flavor (good but different) and very nice in texture - I wouldn't mind one myself!

I'm glad to here you liked the taste and texture. The tag said it was from Burma and is known as "pu Pyi Klai", Lemon Meringue is easier for me to say.

Hi Wanda,
We have a small tree planted one year ago. The flavor is absolutely wonderful. It really tastes like lemon meringue. The tree is very resistant to fungus. So you will have a big crop. It is a beautiful tree with the bright yellow mangoes. AAAA+++++buy it!!

Oh, I bought the tree, now have to get it planted. With this heat I have a hard time getting out there. Thanks for your input Cindya.

I just tried one fully ripe after it had been chilled in the fridge. All I can say is OMG... It reminded me of the flavor of creamy orange sorbet or a creamsickle So I don't know where the lemony thing came from but it does have a very citruslike smell. I Have to have one of these trees so I am off to read up about the growth habits and details. The fruit are small but what an amazing flavor!!

Hi Wanda, while doing some research on Lemon Meringue Mango I came upon this old thread, I had forgotten about it. I was hoping you will see this thread and give me an update on how your tree is doing? Has it fruited for you yet? Please tell me or better yet do you have pictures...sure would love some info. I just purchased one from Lowe's yesterday.

Cindya17, if you're reading this post...would love some info and details of your tree as well...

Thanks!

Nancy
