Pickering mango and some mature trees

14 years ago

Ate my first pickering mango yesterday. It had very good flavor with absolutely no fiber.

On a side note, I work in Tampa, and yesterday I found a yard that has a mature Jaboticaba tree that was probably 25' tall by 20' wide. He also had a 40' avocado loaded with fruit and two very large mango trees loaded. There was one tree I could not identify. Had leaves that appeared like mamey but I could not imagine a mamey surviving this far north. The tree was about 30'. Maybe I'll ask the owner.

So is it true that the pickering has a strong coconut flavor?

My guess is loquat.

I have a tiny Pickering, glad to get more positive input.

Wasnt a loquat, familar with those.

I detected a coconut flavor, not overwhelming. But the overall taste was very good. I just noticed that Pine Island added pickering to its variety viewer and rated it 5 of 5 for flavor.

I got to try Pickering last month when I visited the fruit and spice park....was pretty impressed, nice flavor even if the fruit was somewhat un-attractive/dull. Tree was quite small but very productive. I personally didn't detect the coconut overtones that its claimed to have but nevertheless thought it was a good mango.
