P-22 was a Gary seedling, and likely a hybrid between Gary and Zill Indochinese (Zinc) , from the breeding project of Gary Zill in Boynton Beach, FL. The original tree is a good producer and flavor has proven popular, The fruit has a round/ovate shape with a light colored flesh whose flavor belongs to the Indochinese hybrid category; it tastes very similar to Zinc.
We acquired P-22 in 2018 and it began fruiting in 2021. The fruit's flavor has been extremely impressive, one of the finest flavored of the newer Indochinese hybrids. Unfortunately it can develop physiological problems, with fissures in the skin commonplace and uneven ripening as well.
P-22 is moderately vigorous and has a vertical growth habit with open canopy. It is a mid-season mango maturing largely in July for us most years.
Flavor: - Indochinese
Country: Florida-USA
