Paul, thanks for another good video, the amount of work Mr. Zill has done over the years is astounding, we have so many new great mangoes because of their breeding program.
A Caymanian mango maniac, grower and grafter, I glean every tidbit of info available and this is exactly the kind of experienced insights I'm most keen to find. Thank you Gary Zill and Paul for taking the time to share these details with us... one mango nerd to another.❤
Nice to see a fellow Caymanian brethren mango enthusiast. We live in Central Florida now, but love to visit Grand Cayman at least a couple of times a year. Our friends have a 30' Carrie tree that is very productive in Newlands. I'm curious in what varieties you currently have and maybe we can exchange budwood sometime. Have a blessed day!
Can you shed some light to a mango from India called Langra. This mango is super popular in eastern part of India. Also have you gotten your hands on mangoes imported from India and Pakistan? August is too later for imported mangoes. I highly recommend you try these mangoes next season.
So fascinating! I'm so excited to try out some different mango varieties. 🥭 hard to narrow it down to a few! Asking anyone: What are your top 3?? And what flavor do you personally look for in a mango?
No, he did not breed those, both East Indian and Julie is originally from India. A lot of daughters were created from Julie such as Graham, Juliette, Carrie, Angie etc, i haven't seen any children from East Indian. Julie is polyembryonic so most times you plant a Julie seed you will get a different type of mango, they just let these fruit and select the best ones based on taste, disease resistance etc.
Got my self nothing but great mango from India and Pakistan call it what you want they are the best of the best graffs suck if they dry or not graff correctly they break off and you won't be sure if they the real deal all guessing games al hackers trying to hustle
Is pedigree testing not available for mango? I bet there are some SNP genotyping panels that could validate the genetic integrity of a plant in question. This is useful for IP, mother tree validation (good when involving 3rd parties, shipping, or when producing a lot of tree from limited stock) , and breeding program design. You’d be surprised how inexpensive this tech is.
Zill family has been an amazing contributor to all the great mangoes grown in Florida....
Edward, Lemon Zest, Beverly, Spirit of '76, Maha Chanook, Keitt...those are hard to beat when they are just perfectly ripe.

So glad to hear Gary say "SE Asian," and not "Indochinese."

Dr. Richard Campbell talks about that. They are doing it currently.
