Mango
Triple Sec Seacrest
History
From Gary Zill's breeding program, an Edward seedling originally named Seacrest after Seacrest Boulevard in Boynton Beach, later marketed as "Triple Sec" for its citrus-liqueur-like flavor.
Taste profile
Rich and sweet with pronounced citrus and spice notes, often compared to fresh-squeezed tangerine juice - fiberless, firm, and very juicy.
Growing habits
A vigorous tree with a dense canopy; young trees tend to produce more male flowers, with the female-to-male ratio improving as the tree matures (worth knowing if fruit set seems slow at first). Mid-season. Notable for holding up well after ripening - it resists going overripe better than most mango varieties, giving a longer usable window.
Shipping
Ships reasonably well. Better shelf life and resistance to overripening than most fiberless mango varieties, making it more forgiving to handle.
