For some excellent information on growing, caring for and taste of the Super Alphonso Mango look no further than Mr. Matthew Rowlings https://tropicaltreeguide.com/fruit-cocktail-mango-grow-guide/ Excerpts from his website below: The Fruit Cocktail Mango is considered a medium-sized mango tree. They have a moderately vigorous & upright growth habit that produces a dense canopy. As a result, Fruit Cocktail can realistically be kept between 10 – 15 feet tall with annual pruning. Due to the tree’s natural vigor & upright limbs, Fruit Cocktail would not do well long-term in containers and would not be considered a “condo” mango. Fruit Cocktail’s fruit production consistently ranges from fair to average. While it may not be a heavy bearer by any means, Fruit Cocktail typically yields an acceptable amount of fruit for homeowners. The mangos themselves are small to medium-sized fruits that typically weigh between 0.8 – 1.2 lbs. Fruit Cocktail Mangos are considered an Indian Flavored Mango. When perfectly ripe and mature, cutting into the fruit reveals a yellow, juicy, nearly fiberless flesh with a creamy, soft texture, accompanied by a unique aroma reminiscent of canned peaches. The name ‘Fruit Cocktail Mango’ aptly describes its flavor profile. Resembling a fruit cup, it boasts a rich taste characterized by a harmonious blend of various fruits, including citrus, pineapple, and guava. While it leans towards medium sweetness, there’s complexity in the form of a subtle resinous/spicy notes and a hint of enjoyable chalkiness in every bite.
