Giselle is from Gary Zill's breeding program in Boynton Beach, FL (planting number 35-6) and was a seedling of a mango called "Tower". It was described to us as a "juice mango" and is named after Gary's wife.
We started growing it in 2017. The fruit is medium-sized, ovoid-shaped, developing a reddish blush on the skin. The flesh is dark yellow/orange, and is indeed quite juicy but not very fibrous. Giselle's flavor is of the Indian/West Indian sort and tastes like an outstanding Graham mango when that variety is on point. It has a small polyembryonic seed. We've been extremely impressed with this mango's decadent flavor and now rank it among some of our best tasting mangos.
The tree is a highly vigorous, upright grower with dense canopy. It is a later mid-season mango for us ripening primarily in July, sometimes into August. Unfortunately, though it is a good producer, the fruit is very prone to mango bacterial black spot, but Giselle may be a great mango for people in southern California or central/West Florida.
Flavor: Indian/West Indian
Country: Florida - USA
