This mango is from the breeding program of Gary Zill of Boynton Beach, FL (planting # G-32). It was a seedling of Lemon Meringue, making it a sibling of the Lemon Zest mango.
The fruit are medium-size, with an oval-oblong shape, turning yellow at maturity with an orange fiberless flesh. The flavor is incredibly rich and sweet with a strong, complex orange-citrus candy flavor. The seed is polyembryonic.
The trees are moderately vigorous growers and good producers. We have found that its resistance to bacterial black spot is better than its parent lemon Meringue and sibling Lemon Zest.
We top-worked a tree into Orange Sherbert in 2017, and added more in 2018 and 2019.
Flavor: Citrus - Burmese
