Thanks Harry for the input.

Good to hear that Harry! How would you compare it to a Dot, Edward or Cushman?

Adiel

Hurray! Thanks for the wonderful description Harry. I bought one last year after much deliberating over what kind to get. So great to hear that the first taste test was positive! Can't wait until mine is big enough to fruit=)

Adiel:

Based upon my first taste, I think it compares favorably with the mangoes you mention. Of course, none of those varieties are ready to eat yet....so there may be some early season mango over exhuberance which will have to be tempered after a full season of mango eating.

Harry

Thanks for the review Harry !

I have about 10 on my 2 year old tree... The tree growth has been excellent.

I've been watching them every day, and now the anticipation is going to kill me :)

I'm really glad the Angie mango tasted so good, after trying "Jean Ellen" last year I was a little bit worried...My Angie tree has a decent amount of fruit on it, maybe 20-30 mangos. Some of them are fairly large and all are a pale green with no blush or coloration. I'm wondering how much longer until they ripen up, supposed to be an early one.

Harry - it's worse than torture without a picture to wrap my lips around! lol.....congrats.....I still got a lot of green golf ball sized oddities on diff. trees teasing me every day in our spring winds....

Harry,
Due to your questionable tastes, I will have to sample this mango myself. When will another be available?

Harry...you seem to be around Sheehan quite a bit. Are we sure he is not trying for a stand-up comedian gig?

Jay:

No....he's not trying out for a stand up comic gig.....he's just trying to show a little personality and over come the shyness he has. Eventually, he'll even post a picture of himself in the Tropical Fruit Forum Meet and Greet thread.

Harry

Jay,
It's my fall back plan in case law school doesn't work out.

Harry,
I don't have a law firm to shamelessly plug so I won't be posting on the meet and greet.

Nice one Harry. Can you save some seed for me (any and all varieties accepted!). Be there in 2 weeks!

Here's a few pictures taken 5/27 of my Angie Mango tree and fruit that I'm guessing/hoping? are almost ready.

NICE looking mangoes!! Its a good looking tree too. Let us know when its ripe.

I'm waiting (not)very patiently for one of my Cogshall to fully ripen. I ate one of them that I picked a week or so ago but it was only partially ripe. The part that wasn't quite ripe was pretty sour, but the part that was ripe was really sweet and delicious!

Harry will you be going to the USDA Chapman Field Open House next Saturday? I would love to plan a day to stop by for a tour of your yard!
Marin

would any body lend me some mango cuttings... im not picky so if you had any would you help my cause.
thankyou patricio

Marin:

Not sure of my plans...probably won't be going to Chapman, but feel free to stop by on your way to or from. Drop me an e-mail to let me know what your plans are.

Harry

Thanks for giving us the head's up on Angie mango Harry! Southwest rancher, the mangoes look great!

SWR - yes, the Angies look splendid......mangoyapper

That's a great looking tree swrancher! Let us know how they taste when they are ripe.

Our family's main priority this summer is to choose which two varieties of mango to plant (that's all we have room for) and get them planted. The Angie is one we're hoping to taste, and I'm not finding any available to buy, even at Fairchild farm. If anyone is willing to sell 1 or 2 Angie mangos, please let me know. We live in Fort Myers but will drive. We're headed to Boynton Beach area this weekend, and down to Homestead sometime soon.

If anyone has suggestions for mango varieties, we'd welcome those, too. Thanks in advance!

Pickering is another new variety that is dwarf, every member on here who has sampled one if you search considers it an excellent flavored mango with a possible coconut undertone

I had my first Angie Mango today. I picked it off of my two year old tree a few days ago, and let it ripen on the kitchen counter.

I agree with Harry's review. I found it to be fantastic. Sweet and complex. Definately top tier in my book.

Here's a picture of Angie mango that I bought at the 2014 mango festival at Fairchild.

Here is a link that might be useful: Angie Mango from Fairchild 2014

This is a really old post, but I ordered a box of mangoes from Fla. There was one Angie. I waited until it turned all yellow but still somewhat firm flesh. It had a nice aroma. It tasted terrible. It tasted like mango mixed with cooked carrots (and more carrots than mango), plus some weird epoxy-like flavor (not that I've ever eaten epoxy) or something like Pine-Sol cleaner. Really bad. I had to throw it out. I realize fruit quality can vary by ripeness, how soon it's picked or from season to season, or personal taste, but really? Why would anyone even risk growing these? I'd give it a 2-out-of-10 compared to a 9-out-of-10 Kent that I can buy from H-Mart. for 1/4 of the price.

Hi Dave, definitely a very old post for sure...sorry you had a bad experience with Angie. I've personally never tasted one but by your descriptions it reminded me a lot about my experience with Carrie mango. I absolutely didn't care for the taste at all...but yet SO many people LOVE Carrie mangoes Lol...to be it had a really odd mediciney, turpentine after taste hard to describe except I didn't like it at all.

I have Glenn, Cogshall, Maha and Keitt trees and though they are the "old" florida varieties that's been around for quite a while they are all good and produce well for me and so many to share with friends and neighbors. All my trees are 10-17 years old so I never was able to plant any of the hundreds of "new" varieties that have come out during those years. Keitt is probably my least favorite for taste but because it is a late variety I planted one...when all the rest of my mangoes are gone by end of July the Keitt is around till Sept so its worth growing...this year I "pugged" my Keitt in December because it had anthracnose from the humid/wet winter we had so I chopped it all down and am starting over Lol...so no Keitts for me this year.

I'm glad I never planted an Angie Lol...

puglvr, apparently Angie is a hybrid of Carrie and Edward. So, I totally get what you are saying about that weird after-taste. There were several Glenns in my box from Florida and they were not all that great either. Watery and weak. So maybe it's just the seasonal difference? I did ask for more Pickering this time. They were outstanding last year, so I'm looking forward to those. It seems there are so many varieties in Florida now -- and so many of those are not all that good, or they have such a short window of ripeness. When I watch some of the mango-tasting videos, they often say, 'Oh it's probably not quite ripe yet', or 'Oh I think it's over-ripe.'

I do love my Mexican Kents from the local store! Really outstanding and better than 75% of the ones I've tried from Florida. Maybe the guy is just shipping me the bad varieties! LOL!

I do know from my experience that when we have a lot of rain the flavor of my fruits do get watery and less flavorful. Parts of southern FL received over a foot of rain in less than a day several weeks ago. I received 6" in a couple of days myseld...prior to that we were in an almost drought condition. I've been lucky mine has had very good flavor so far...but if we continue to get a lot more rain (had 2.5") just yesterday. Definitely might affect the fruits that are left on the tree. Too much rain during growth period might cause some fruit splitting but since my fruits are almost all mature now that is less likely to happen to mine.

I too really like Kent mangoes, I opted not to plant one because they were known to get really big and grow quickly and I was trying to stay with trees that didn't get too large. Of course my trees are pretty big now, so we will have to prune them after harvest to keep it more manageable...I had a Pickering tree several years ago and I LOVE the fruits but we decided to put a screened in porch and unfortunately we had to remove the tree because it was right in the way...sad day for me. They are quite productive trees and I really like the flavor. Mahas are really great also, my tree only produced less that 25 this year, last year I had almost 100...maybe next year will be another good year??

Enjoy the fruits if you get more...

Well, just my luck to spring for a box of mangoes from Florida during a really wet period. Yeah, all the flavors are weak.
