Mango Harvest 2019

2019 was not a great year for mango production in my yard. I had way more mangos in 2018, but this winter was very harsh. As an example I got 2+ dozen mangos off my Sunrise last year. But this year I didn't even get a flower off the tree because half of it died back this winter, including all the flowering tips. But despite the setbacks, I did get some really spectacular mangos this year. Here is the roundup of production:

Cultivar	Quantity Produced
Angie	1
Bailey's Marvel	1

Ice Cream	13
Kathy	3
Lemon Meringue	1

Ripe Springfels Mango

Ate my first Springfels mango from my tree today. It was very good. It is described as a pineapple flavored mango. Pineapple Pleasure is one of my favorite mangos and is very pineapple-y. Springfels is not pineapple-y in the same way. It is more like a very rich classic mango (similar richness to Edward in my opinion) but has a pineapple background complement flavor that makes it a little more refreshing than eating a classic mango.

This is a big mango, like > 1 lb. I have another on the tree still ripening that is at least 2 lb. This one is reported to have a lot of growing and ripening issues in FL, but looks like it makes very good mangos in AZ.
