This mango was a 'Keitt' seedling from the breeding program of Gary Zill in Boynton Beach, FL. The 'Gary' mango was its likely pollen parent.
The fruit has a strong delicious flavor belonging in the coconut group. It is round in shape, medium sized with a light-colored, soft fiberless flesh. The seed is small and polyembryonic. The tree is a moderately vigorous, spreading grower.
The trees have been strong performers for us for a number of years now and we're sufficiently impressed with their production and oustanding eating quality to recommend M-4 as a late-season mango throughout south Florida. We regard it as one of the finest of the newer hybrids available today.
It is very late season, ripening from August through September.
Flavor: Coconut
Country: Florida - USA
