Taste, season, cold, and how to plant this one.
- Taste
- Small-tree mango with fiberless, sweet fruit. Quality is high when you can keep the bloom dry.
- Ripens
- Early to mid summer. Fruit is not huge, which suits a dooryard more than a packing line.
- Zones
- Zones 10 to 11.
- Hardiness
- Young Shirley is anthracnose-prone in a wet winter bloom, and frost-tender like any young mango.
- Size
- Naturally smaller. A good candidate for a tight lot.
- Tips
- Open air flow. If you spray anything, do it for the bloom disease, not out of habit. We can talk through a simple schedule at pickup.
- Pollination
- Self-fruitful.
