- In this tasting we're reviewing 3 Southeast Asian varieties from Thailand, Burma/Myanmar and Vietnam. Hope you enjoy!
Disclaimer:
We are creating mango tastings for the 2nd year in a row and feel like sharing the same disclaimer because we still see people arguing about taste. Like many things in life that cannot be ever measured in a lab, taste is one of them. It is purely a subjective experience involving one's cultural conditioning. Exposure to certain types of foods during our childhood days, special liking of other types of fruit or candies and finding hints of them in mangoes play very heavy on the type of mangoes one likes or dislikes.
Also, the same mango variety grown in different parts of Florida (or the world) will taste different depending on changes in microclimate, annual rainfall, soil health, soil mineral and salt content, fertigation regimen (irrigation+fertilization), etc. so blanket statements about a certain variety's taste aren't welcome. Lastly, mango picked early / not fully mature vs picked at the peak maturity changes how they ripen off of tree; often mangoes picked green, hard & immature eventually change color and look nice but will not get optimal sweetness (brix) or the complexity of flavor that makes mango such a unique and tasty fruit.
Please don’t make assumptions about a variety based on your tasting of a mediocre tasting fruit! Try fruit from different places, different microclimates at different stages of ripeness.
We don't think mangoes can be objectively rated from 1 to 10, as many variables play into it, but for the fun of it we have done it in some of our videos.

Great reviews as always!!!😊 I Love Mahachanook! The very sweet intense floral banquet and hint of sub acid is just outstanding!
Cac is one of my favs
Them mangos looked good. Thanks for posting the video. Great information on these mangoes.
Glad you liked it! 🤩
Interesting info , I love mangos
Thanks one again for another tasting review . I Iike Maha chanook a lot, my tree fruits like crazy and is not very big.
great, happy you are able to harvest so much fruit!
maha chanook is dwarf tree isnt ? i got that and a few other dwarf gonna try to grow indoor under LED and roof patio for spring summer
Mabye you have Ataulfo/Honey?
Can you tell me ripenig time is like Glenn or later?
It is polyembryonic.
Thx a lot.
Hi Adam, i haven’t eaten Ataulfo grown locally here in South Florida but i am sure some people grow it. I have tasted it from grocery store, imported and treated and still was pretty sweet tasting. I have heard it grows better in south California.
Do you think it is possible to keep a CAC mango around 15 feet in height and still have it be productive. I've heard that when you prune a tree to keep it small, it doesn't produce as well because it wants to put its energy into the vegetative growth that was cut away?
Yes you are right, too much pruning will stimulate vegetative growth. Mangoes flower and bear fruit in lateral branches so you can always cut back vertical leader branch 3-4 ft every year. The tree will then use another branch as leader branch and cut that next year, so alternating leader branch every other year you can shape the tree to be low and bushy. It will also open the canopy for better air flow. I prefer making them dense from 4ft upwards to allow air flow under the tree canopy. Yes it can fruit at 15ft height.
Thank you very much for your detailed explanation. I was weary about planting a CAC Mango tree in the ground but now I would like to try and tame and shape this vigorous tree to its potential. Did you know that in Vietnam they call this the Master Sand mango? My guess is that it does well in sandy or coastal areas?
Interesting info, I didn't know that. let me know how you train your tree and how it does. Performance in different soil conditions will mostly be affected by the rootstock, different rootstocks are used in sand vs clay; the common rootstock for FL (turpentine) doesn't perform well in CA with its clay soil, so since CAC is mono I am assuming they use appropriate rootstock for sandy areas in Vietnam?
@@growpuravida that is very insightful. I didn't even think about if it was mono or poly. It being mono would necessitate it being grafted. Makes you wonder what different rootstocks are used in different mango growing areas of the world. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you. You might find this paper interesting: www.mango.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Mango_rootstock_Final_Report_Eng.pdf
I really want you to do an Australian bowen mango or some people call it kensington pride. Im in Australia so I can send some to you if you want 😉😉
