South Florida Backyard Nectar

Mango

Sweet Tart

History

From Gary Zill's breeding program in Boynton Beach - widely considered, alongside Lemon Zest, one of the two standout flavors from the entire Zill collection according to longtime collectors.

Taste profile

An intense "flavor bomb" - a strong tart, candy-like component balanced against a big punch of sweetness, in medium-firm, fiberless orange flesh.

Growing habits

The seed is polyembryonic with a relatively poor flesh-to-seed ratio for its size. Notably resistant to bacterial black spot, a disease that affects many other Zill hybrids.
