David says... Hi Bj, no apparently they are a naturally occuring cross between Kensington pride and Keitt. To look at them they have the size of Keitt and the green, purple overtone skin colour with the flesh of Kensington, by the way the Kwan mango is approz 2.5 m tall i make sure all the grated mangos are no more than 3-4 m tall , a farmer in Gin Gin grows them look up youtube for a short video.

BJ says... Thanks David. Mangoes touching the ground - looks like a Keitt tree. Let us know how they taste. 2 for $4 is not bad for a new variety. I hate it when the new varieties price themselves out of the market - like the honey gold. I'm not likely to pay $6 for one mango when there are lots of other options at the same time. | About the Author Theposterformerlyknownas Brisbane 27th January 2012 9:44am #UserID: 3270 Posts: 1552 View All Theposterformerlyknownas's Edible Fruit Trees |

David says... Hi BJ, heres the report on the Bundy Special mango, very watery, strange acid/sweet balance and very soft almost to the point of butter, not very exciting, but yesterday from the same shop ,they were selling what was described as Strawberry mangos 2 for $3.00. Again slightly watery sweet flavour slightly firmer, than the bundy over all nice flavour but descibing them as strawberry i think is stretching it a bit. However will continue to keep my eyes open for new stuff. | About the Author David Brisbane 23rd February 2012 9:44pm #UserID: 6595 Posts: 10 View All David's Edible Fruit Trees |

BJ says... Thanks David. Doesnt sound great. Nice to have another late season mango around though. Kent is rubbish, even the texture of the seed is off putting being hard and lumpy. Keitt is okay. The tree is hilarious to grow, drooping all over the place, hardly able to sustain the weight of the fruit! | About the Author Theposterformerlyknownas Brisbane 24th February 2012 9:07am #UserID: 3270 Posts: 1552 View All Theposterformerlyknownas's Edible Fruit Trees |

BJ says... My King Thai and Kwan were too young to fruit. Kwan probably needs another season to fruit yet. KT is a good size for fruit next season. My dwarf KP set a few fruit, but all split in a week of heavy rain. Keitt had quite a few big fruits on, but my brother pulled many off early - even those were pretty good though. The ordinary KP was alright, quite a few fruit. My Alison Red KP has this strange inflorescence on now. It is half flower half leaf, split entirely down the middle - have you noticed this before?

Mike says... They are alot like okrung with a flat seed,little to no fibre, a sweet and mild taste with little acid.The colour is plain yellow with winter fruit being as little as 200g and have less intense flavour.Nov to March fruit are very nice and average around 450g.Chocadam seems to be the same type. | About the Author Cairns 4th March 2012 10:09pm #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

BJ says... Well, Mango season is mostly over (except for the Keitt/Kent stragglers and the Brookes and Chocodam in NQ. I have to admit the best I had this year was actually a box of calypso at Chrstmas. I know they get bad press, and I wouldnt usually waste my money on them, but they appear to have a 2 week window around Christmas when they are creamy with vanilla or coconut notes in the flavour. I had the same fruits many times throught the long season and every other time they were as unsatifying as that teasing vixen R2E2. Looking forward to adding King Thai/Maha Chinook to the tasting next season! | About the Author Theposterformerlyknownas Brisbane 22nd March 2012 1:52pm #UserID: 3270 Posts: 1552 View All Theposterformerlyknownas's Edible Fruit Trees |

David says... Ditto the above Brooks mangoes this time the three fruit i picked were the following weight ,715g, 475g ,405g. Only two Brooks mangoes left on the tree ,might leave them for the native wildlife.Didnt think that Brooks got that big, its had no supplemental water, or anything for that matter. | About the Author David Brisbane 9th April 2012 5:11pm #UserID: 1961 Posts: 670 View All David's Edible Fruit Trees |

Lou says... Hello, does anybody know what I would get if I planted an Alison Red mango seed? And might I add, my tree unfortunately still forced to live in a pot for now gave me three of it's babies this season and as a Bowen Mango devotee and I must say that they would be the yummiest, sweetest little Mangoes I've ever eaten. Sweeter than the Bowen. | About the Author Lou Everton Park Qld 23rd January 2018 12:58am #UserID: 10587 Posts: 5 View All Lou's Edible Fruit Trees |

Fruitylicious1 says... Hi Lou Since Allison Red is a selection of Kengsington Pride which is polyembryonic i dare to say that Allison Red seedlings will grow true to type. Polyembryonic seeds will grow multiple seedlings. Discard the weakest one since its not a clone of the mother mango tree. It is a fertilized seedling hence not true type. Grow the one that are robust and vigorous. They are the clones of the mother tree.
