Mango
Karen Michelle
History
From Gary Zill's breeding program, planting #1-15, an Edward seedling named after the wife of horticulturist Craig Campbell.
Taste profile
A rich, balanced, classic mango flavor very similar to its parent Edward, generally considered a touch sweeter - medium-firm, completely fiberless flesh.
Growing habits
A moderately vigorous tree with a dense, bushy canopy and good disease resistance. Early season, typically May-June. Known specifically as a light or inconsistent producer despite the fruit quality - worth setting expectations accordingly rather than counting on a heavy crop.
