Here is what their website has to say about the M-4 Mango
This mango was a Keitt seedling from the breeding program of Gary Zill in Boynton Beach, FL. Gary was its likely pollen parent.
The fruit has a strong delicious flavor belonging to the coconut group. It is round in shape, medium-sized with a light-colored, soft fiberless flesh. The seed is small and polyembryonic. The tree is a moderately vigorous, spreading grower.
The original tree is a heavy producer for some years but has been an alternate bearer, and until recently there have been no other producing trees to observe. We have several producing trees now and while we love the flavor of the M-4, we have already observed that the fruit is at least somewhat prone to bacterial black spot and rot, perhaps signfiicantly so. We will continue to evaluate it going forward but are reluctant to add more of them to our program at the moment.
It is a very late season, ripening from August through September.
Flavor: Coconut
Country: Florida - USA
It's a good mango. But for the past four years my coconut cream mango trees have been producing excellent mangos. Just had one today.
Same here! Love'm
Didn't I heard that cc mango tree produce lesiones fruit. ,how did it fruit did u receive each year. Was thinking about buy it but idk yet
First year my Coconut Cream produced fruit and the family loved it and the coconut flavor blew us away.
great news i just got a pink guava fruit tree in today and just planted it
I just received (2) 3 gallon m-4s based on Alex's recommendation. My 12 year old coconut creme has been consistently producing mango since switching to homemade fish emulsion. I also put a tarp under the tree to deprive it of rain starting in late September. This approach seems to be working for me and I have set about 60 mangoes this year.
Hi Pinellas...is m4 supposed to be vigorous...I'm in AZ and I'm looking for vigorous varieties to grow....I'm visiting wpb and ft Lauderdale area .. would love to see your yard

@@MichaelSmith-fu3bm mine in Florida seems to grow relatively quickly
A citrusy coconut mango! 😋
Hes right about CC, one year its a 10 and the other year 6 !
Thanks I think I’ll keep my cc in a pot and get a M4, I know you love sugar loaf are they both that good M4 and SL ?
There all good mangos
@@MsFishingdog well I ordered 2 sugar loaf mangos and a m4. a year or two I’ll find out how good :)
@@Maatson_ yes
interesting..
Nice. I love my keitt. My late season one.
Just grafted 4x M-4… so far 2 have taken.
I would love a video on 40-26 , i hear good things about it, that i ordered one. Maybe if you have time you could ask alex to talk about it on video. Thanks
Where did u order the 40-26. I would love to order one of those trees myself
@@irvinjames9589 tropicalacresfarm graft order takes about a year but you can request anything from their list
Paul, please make a video about rootstocks. Why they tend to use polyembrionic seedlings like turpentine?
I agree. Paul should make a video on this topic. Why Turpentine and not other rootstocks like Piva?
😍😁is this tree available to purchase in Australia?
Shalom 💖🙏🏻
good mango !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey brother whats your opinion of ice cream? Whats the sweetest most fruity variety with a little tartness? I love lemon meringue and carrie and okrung
@@ALFORDACRESFARM ice cream top 10
Starburst #1 In the world. 😜🥭
@@DafruitYogi What is Starburst?
@@DafruitYogi Is it from Dr Richard Campbell experiments?
How about Zill 3-18 ?
3-18 is superb but has been a reluctant producer in the limited time we’ve been growing it. there are a few fruit left on it so maybe A sampling video could be done.
Do you think that M-4 could be grafted onto Sugarloaf?
Yes
@@TropicalAcresFarms Perfect!
most nurseries continue to sell the regular "boring" Mangoes instead of these newer varieties and big box stores like Lowes and Home Depot which used to carry a number of varieties, rarely carry Mangoes now. Makes no sense
agreed but i think in the future that may change. I think they will start selling the ones with the best names to try to get people to buy them.
Home Depot and Lowes do not pay well for their plants. Plant materials are purchased through brokers. Mango trees 🌳 are in such high demand, growers aren't selling to those brokers.
I tried one this year and it was very mediocre. Probably the worst I had all year.
Im hoping it wasn’t fully ripe bc I bought the tree before I ever tried the fruit lol.
it's very tasty so give it another try. For late season it's one of the better ones
@@FruitfulTrees hey next time you are in orlando, you could check out my place. It’s a work in progress but I probably have 20 fruit trees in the ground.
Definitely not perfect by any means so maybe could use some tips which could be a learning tool for others as well.
@@jhost0311Orlando Gardener has has success with M-4, maybe you should pick his brain since you have similar growing conditions
M4 mango should be called Emerald or Kryptonite since it remains green on the tree. How about coconut dream?
Dr campbell already grows ones named emerald and kryptonite
@@edisonm8654 Oh okay good to know. How about coconut dream.
Or Zill M4. Maybe it's already late to rename. For me, it would be confusing. I don't need a sexy name to know what is it. I have a Seacrest here, and we stopped calling it Triplesec.
@@gadielgomez2709 A romantic name would be great. Coconut dream
You have my vote for coconut
