This mango is an Edward seedling from the breeding program of Gary Zill in Boynton Beach, FL. Its pollinating parent isn't certain, but its flavor is of the Indochinese-hybrid sort, somewhat similar to 'Venus' and other Zinc progeny, indicating Zinc may have been its pollen parent.
It is a large fruit that often stays relatively green at maturity, with a bumpy, uneven skin that makes the fruit look rather unattractive, turning a dull yellow as it ripens. However, the flavor is deliciously rich and sweet, and the original tree is fairly productive. It contains a monoembryonic seed.
We think it has promise and began growing it in 2017 for evaluation. It has fruited for several years now, and we've noticed that it can sometimes produce excessive male flowers on its first bloom. The trees have a very low vigor, spreading growth habit with open canopy. It may be a good candidate for people looking for trees suitable for limited space. The flowers and fruit have displayed good disease resistance.
Buttercream is an early-to-mid season mango for us in West Palm Beach.
Flavor: Indochinese
