South Florida Backyard Nectar

Mango

Coconut Cream

History

Developed by Walter Zill in Boynton Beach, Florida, likely as a hybrid of Edward. Its flavor was distinctive enough that the variety was patented.

Taste profile

Creamy, fiberless flesh with a genuinely coconut-forward flavor that sets it apart from most other mango cultivars, in a large, strikingly colorful fruit - red, orange, and yellow skin over bright orange flesh.

Growing habits

Medium-sized tree with a moderate growth rate, benefiting from pruning to maintain shape. Mid-season, typically ripening June to July, with good anthracnose resistance.
