Orange Sherbet Mango - Craig's new favorite mango? - Florida Mango Tasting

Today, Craig and Celeste taste an Orange Sherbet Mango we purchased from Mango Men of Homestead.
/ mangomenhomestead
This is a seedling of Po Pyu Kalay (Lemon Meringue) from Zill's High Performance Plants breeding program. Zill's recently started selling trees of this variety.

We will be tasting both mangos grown at our own farm on the west coast of Florida and from other Florida farms (mainly on the east coast). Mangos taste different when grown in different conditions and when picked at different times/ripened differently. Our opinions of a particular mango are just that - opinions on one specific mango, off of a specific tree, growing in a a specific location. We are not evaluating a variety in general and by no means intend to offend anyone by our less than stellar review of what might be your favorite mango.
Sulcata Grove is our 2 acre, backyard food forest. We grow over 60 varieties of bananas along with many fruit trees. Our videos are family friendly.

Have you tried Orange Sherbet mangos yet? If so, what did you think of the taste?

[@miniwangja]

It tasted like orange push pop sorbet. Flesh was similar to lemon merengue but with artificial orange flavor. 9.8/10

[@fredbloggs6080]

It's funny, you say it has an artificial orange flavor--someone else on a forum said that Fruit Punch has a saccharine or artificial sweetener flavor--I wonder why these new mangoes make people think they taste like they have artificial ingredients.

[@Enoch-Gnosis]

The seed is Polly worth planting 👍

[@tinyjungle_]

Any tips on how I can order one online for delivery to Southern California would be much appreciated. I've searched high and low and need help lol. Btw My wife and I really enjoy you're tasting videos. Thank you!

[@Enoch-Gnosis]

The Tiny Jungle plantOgram will ship 👍

You know when it is good when Craig's wife & daughter have to fight for the last scraps !😉😁😁🤗Juat FINALLY picked up a nice Orange Sherbet Mango Tree here for Tempe, AZ today ! Many say among the best ! LOT's of other pluses...but it apparently does not do quite a well in So Cal as elsewhere...our climate is closer to theirs. Great video !!

[@SulcataGrove]

Thank you! Glad you have access to quality mangos this year!

[@jeff6899]

@@SulcataGrove God bless ! Keep all the great, fun, informative video's coming, Craig !!! And Keep the Mango song in the backgrd !😉😁🤗

[@parker1ray]

Dude give the wife first bite!

[@resukepowell9811]

Excellent mango, going to be very hard to top Orange Sherbet, Lemon Meringue and Zest all top tier!!

[@mikeje305]

This guy doesn’t like to share he should’ve eat the whole mango by himself

[@rodrigorodriguez2299]

Let the lady’s eat first. Stop hogging the mango. Other then that thanks for the video

[@SulcataGrove]

Thanks for the concern. We have tasted some pretty terrible mangos over the years and I prefer Craig to try first since I am slightly allergic to mangos 😊 Celeste

[@mikeje305]

Dude give the lady some

[@amjadahmed1247]

I am from pakistan and a mango lover .i have many varietes of mango from florida including orange sherbat .valancia pride .lancitilla .butter cream sugar loaf .i find all are best and different flavour

[@SulcataGrove]

How do you like butter cream? I have not tried that one yet.

[@RepentanceGarden]

@@SulcataGrove@SulcataGrove ButterCream is phenomenal!!! Definitely top tier 😎 were you able to try it recently?

[@SulcataGrove]

@@RepentanceGarden I don’t think I have tried butter cream yet

[@mauriciodiaz1310]

Wonderful video. I need to buy me a tree of this variety

[@joaquincortada1483]

Lemon Meringue is my favorite so I pretty sure I love this one too!

[@SulcataGrove]

Joaquin Cortada It’s a great mango. We added a tree last year in our backyard.

[@Ivesy85]

I cannot deal with the fact you don’t let your wife taste everything first

[@SulcataGrove]

I am slightly allergic to mangos and very allergic to the sap. I prefer Craig taste them first, incase it isn't very good. There are many mangos we taste which are just bad due to variety, being picked incorrectly, or being over or under ripe.

[@iamwarren219]

Great video but dude, serve others before yourself.

[@timtebow4775]

Just had OS for the first time. It's very good. It's juicier than PPK and has an Orange/Mango JUICE flavor profile. PPK has a tart lemon to sweet orange cream profile depending on ripeness. Both are very good, but for flavor, tree, disease resistance, even ripening, early season & fruit quality got to give PPK the edge. I actually wanted to like OS more. For people where space is limited I think the flavor profile is close enough where you probably wouldn't need both. Final Scores: PPK 8.5...OS 8.0 (I don't do "10's) 😋😋😋

[@SulcataGrove]

We really like them both. The OS fruits are larger and to us have more of an Orange Creamsicle flavor. We are happy to have both in the ground.

[@JulianoGSF]

What would be your top 10 mangos?

[@bottitabaki3073]

Hi. I love your videos. What’s the song’s name at the beginning of your videos. Thanks

[@SulcataGrove]

Thank you! It’s The Mango Song by Marty Robbins

[@Enoch-Gnosis]

Ok know I got to plant a OS! I just planted a 15Gal M4👍

[@speedygonzalez8431]

how did you get that to turn yellow like that, it means its fully ripe. for 20 yrs I've visited most mango farms in S. Fl. but never found a yellow mango like that..

[@SulcataGrove]

This is one of the varieties which ripens yellow. Different varieties have different colors when fully ripe. These were from Mango Men of Homestead

[@RepentanceGarden]

I have not tried it but I’m very much looking forward to picking up my order from Zill’s with the OS 🤓 especially now with this review and also since I PPK is one of my favorites 😁

[@johannesvanhoek9080]

I love the orange sherbet mango, but as a sidenote, serve your wife first with the mango after cutting into pieces , She longs for a piece but you continuously serve yourself first !

[@SulcataGrove]

Being slightly allergic to mangos, I always want Craig to taste first to make sure it's a good mango and worth eating - but thank you for your concern :) Celeste

[@johannesvanhoek9080]

@@SulcataGrove 😊👍

[@happybee7725]

@johannesvanhoek9080 That’s exactly what I was thinking! Ladies first. 😂

[@linkzcart1571]

Ladies always first

[@BloodStoriesAreReal]

You serve your wife...we worried about ours

[@awasheshparganiha5088]

Sir how do you compare orange sharbat with indian mangoes, ? Which is better?

[@SulcataGrove]

I prefer a couple of Indian mango varieties because of their complexity. Orange sherbet doesn’t have the complexity, but is still excellent.

[@awasheshparganiha5088]

How do u compair it to indian mangoes? Will it b good for farming in india? Do u suggest any other variety?

[@SulcataGrove]

It is not as complex as many Indian mangos. I have not grown mangos anywhere except Florida.

[@orlandogardener]

I have ordered 2 trees

[@SulcataGrove]

Orlando Gardener Yeah! Hope they do great at your place.I was going to pick some up this week, but don’t have time to drive to Zill’s right now.

[@orlandogardener]

Sulcata Grove the lady in one of my videos Mrs Van has a nursery 35 min from me and she orders from zill, i should have them this Saturday

[@thegratefulgardner8722]

Orlando Gardener-Super jealous, you must do a video of your trees when you get them.

[@orlandogardener]

Green Paws Garden i will for sure !!!

[@UncledoctorKeith]

I'm glad they're finally releasing the OS! I have a cocktail tree that I've been wanting to graft a few branches onto. Have you tried the cotton candy mango yet? I've got a branch of that on my tree but I haven't tried the fruit.

[@SulcataGrove]

Keith Zimmerman Our Cotton Candy didn’t produce this year. I haven’t tasted it, but I heard it is sweet like candy, so we planted without tasting first 😊We love sweet mangos.

[@hflorexil]

Why do you always taste or eat before letting your wife and daughter taste the fruits?

[@SulcataGrove]

@@hflorexil Thank you for the concern, but after tasting some pretty terrible mangos, the girls and I asked that Craig take the first bite of most mangos.

[@JulianoGSF]

Hello, how big does that tree get? Is it productive?

[@SulcataGrove]

Our tree has been a moderate grower so far and very productive.

[@HaibTshajHaib]

Interesting!

[@Marcellos370]

Craig you are going to work on that orange sherbet mango! I don't blame you, its my top 2 mango, lemon meringue coming in number 1, how would you rank lemon meringue and orange sherbet mango?

[@SulcataGrove]

Lemon Meringue is Craig and Brooke’s favorite mango.

[@hflorexil]

It is hard watching your videos because you always eating before you let your wife or kid taste the fruits.

[@SulcataGrove]

@@hflorexil Thank you for the concern, but after tasting some pretty terrible mangos, the girls and I asked that Craig take the first bite of most mangos.

[@unconventionalme8048]

Hi guys! Miss your vids but just heard a bit about the Palmer mango... you were the first channel I turned to to see if you had done a tasting vid on it. Ever had one, and if so, what do you think of them?

[@SulcataGrove]

I don’t think we have tried Palmer. I want to though.

[@nothingincommon]

Interesting. I was sold a tree labeled 'orange sherbet' and it looks totally different.

[@SulcataGrove]

NothingInCommon where did you buy it from? Zill’s just recently released the trees

[@nothingincommon]

I'm in Homestead Florida. There is a video with Dr Richard Campbell that's like a couple years old by now where he mentions orange sherbet as well. I didn't get mine from a well known nursery but it's a graft .. Who knows with these things.. I trust zill and pine island above all so I'll likely just get one from zill.

[@SulcataGrove]

NothingInCommon That’s why I’m planning to buy from Zill’s. These mangos were bought from Richard Campbell’s place. I trust they are the real deal. A very delicious mango!

[@fortmyersfruitforest5214]

[@timtebow4775]

Fruitscapes - 3 Gallon OS trees $40....also had a nice selection of other newer Zill varieties....M4, Triple Sec (Formerly Seacrest), etc. Also Steve and the guys at Fruitscapes said to say hi. Biggest surprise purchase was the Lancetilla I bought there. Big old sucker. Took a long time to ripen on the counter, but once it did it was very good. Like a Kent but better. With good September mangoes hard to come by Lancetilla should be on the short list for very late varieties. I can see why PIN gives it a high score. I think Lancetilla gets a bad rap because people underestimate how long it takes to ripen. Unless fully ripe it's flavorless. Also picked up a couple of Juliette. They had what I presume to be a bit of Julie flavor, but I was under whelmed. Alex has a secret private reserve stash of a few M4 (nick named "Mounds") if you ask, but you didn't hear that from me. Some say M4 makes Coconut Cream look like a Tommy Adkins. Have some M4's that should be on my doorstep soon.

[@SulcataGrove]

Steve M We love going down to Pine Island. Glad you found what you were wanting!

[@Balmy_Jones]

Agree Re: Lancetilla... I had one summer, 2020... enjoyed it. It struck me as a "Carrie" profile, er, but more subdued, less spice / resin punch.

[@garrycole9187]

Jealous !!!
