Sugar Loaf Mango - E4 Mango - Tasting Florida Mangos
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 ก.ค. 2020
- Today, Craig and Valerie taste a Sugar Loaf Mango - also known as E4. This is one of the mangos from Zills High Performance Plants breeding project. This mango was purchased and shipped to us from Mark Beverly
We will be tasting both mangos grown at our own farm on the west coast of Florida and from other Florida farms (mainly on the east coast). Mangos taste different when grown in different conditions and when picked at different times/ripened differently. Our opinions of a particular mango are just that - opinions on one specific mango, off of a specific tree, growing in a a specific location. We are not evaluating a variety in general and by no means intend to offend anyone by our less than stellar review of what might be your favorite mango.
Sulcata Grove is our 2 acre, backyard food forest. We grow over 60 varieties of bananas along with many fruit trees. Our videos are family friendly.

Sugarloaf is the BEST mango on the planettttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt by far
Orlando Gardener do u have a sugarloaf tree? Any cuttings for sale?
@@mathusvaiaoga9787 lol I'm trying to 3 more myself
Not sure lol
@@mathusvaiaoga9787 i will this year
My M4’s taste do delicious this season!
Can’t wait to taste my E4’s next season !
Thank you ..
sugarloaf blew my mind when I first tasted it last year. Got me a tree ASAP... number one in my book
I planted a tree in Aug last year, growing well, I purchased on reputation alone, and for the fact that it ripens and/or can be picked green to help deter the four and two legged thieves. I have had a few of these this year and I am soooo glad I planted this one. all the ones I have tasted have had a strong coconut flavor, I do detect the pineapple, specially ones that are a day away from being fully ripe. in any case, don't expect much color on the outside, if you see these completely yellow, they are rotten already. the coconut small can be detected even before cutting them open.
That mango is the bomb diggity!
Mr Zill gave me my first taste in the office and I flipped out. Forget pineapple or coconut flavors because overall if you are not the Carrie/spicy/turpentine/piney kind of mango lover then this is another #1. It’s just so special. There are a few #1’s and after I tasted it that first time I asked Mr Zill to please propagate it. He said maybe. Then every few months I would call to find out if they grafted a bunch. When I found out they did I called every chance I got to see if they were ready for sale. They only did 200 grafts initially and I was able to get 13. Next season 2021 they will have been in the ground 3 full years. They are all growing at different rates. They were tiny little trees when I got them and the biggest one now might be 4 3/4 feet tall. They never change colors when ripe they just soften up. And they have a huge window for ripeness. I’m talking maybe 3 weeks from the time they are a bit soft to very soft and still great tasting. I got some fruit that first summer and we did a 4th of July taste testing. Guess who won!!!
Richard W Our little tree held multiple fruit this year at around 4’ high too. I love how long they are delicious. Very forgiving fruit.
Sulcata Grove we went back and forth on Sugarloaf’ qualities after your first taste testing maybe last year and of course we both are in love with this variety. Of my 13 original trees I had to replace 3 for various reasons. It might have been cause my field drains where they are planted so perhaps the 3 got too much water. It’s never the fault of ZHPP because nobody in the world puts out plants as perfect as his.
It’s the yummiest ever 10 all day
Lol, I can tell me when my wife Love's a mango, she'll grab the seed and go over the sink! She is very picky but when she finds one she likes the can't stop eating it 🤣
Just planted a 7 gal👍🏼
Even the dog wanted some. lol
Juliano J. He’s a trained guide dog for the blind. You know it’s a good mango when he comes sniffing 😂
Ive been telling the whole world this mango is .......................................................
I may be late for the comment. May I ask between Sugar Loaf and Coconut Cream, which one has more coconut flavor ? Which one is sweeter ? Which one is more tart ?
Thanks for the video
An Nguyen Sugar Loaf probably wins out in a side by side comparison as it is more complex in flavor. Coconut Cream is cream, sweet, mild coconut flavor, while sugar loaf reminds of us pina colada smoothie mix in flavor.
On my graft wishlist. Pina colada was too tart for me, so I'm hoping Sugarloaf strikes the perfect balance
try again next year, let it ripen a bit more.
Our Pina Coladas are delicious and sweet. Give then another chance
I need your recommendation. If you were to plant 3 mangos, what would they be?
Thanks
Probably Glenn, Coconut Cream, and Lemon Meringue. But thankful we don’t have to be limited to three. There are definitely advantages to planting for extended season by having a later season mango added well.
@@SulcataGrove Thank you. Do you have any E4 and M4 mango trees for sale? Or will you have any?
@@oscarc6800 currently sold out. Our availability list is updated regular and can be viewed on our website.
Do you know how it’s growth habit is? Productivity? Thanks!
Ours has been productive early on and a slow to moderate grower, but we let it hold fruit early and it’s in a bit of shade.
@@SulcataGrove thank you!
How is the one in th ground? Video is 3 years old so a update would be awesome
Our tree was hit back hard by the freeze in 2022. I removed all fruit this year and planted a second tree.
Can you show how stringy it is?
Lety Williamson no fiber
I hear a lot of hype on m-4 . Is e-4 sugarloaf better in your opinion?
I haven’t had a perfectly ripe M4 yet. Our tree was very slow to get growing. We may get fruit next year.
Thanks for the reply. I’m running out of space but want to plant maybe 2 more mango trees. So far have nam doc mai, lemon zest, peach cobbler, ppk, sweet tart, orange sherbet, coconut cream, Providence. Will be planting a pineapple pleasure soon. Gonna pick 2 out of (e4, m4, cac, fruit punch, Edward, guava)
Tiberivs Have you looked at Alex’s website tropicalacresfarms.com? He has each mango variety listed on the what they grow section and he talks about disease susceptibility and more. It’s may be helpful in deciding too.
@@SulcataGrove The most comprehensive list there is! He did a great job.
What is the growth habit of the sugar-loaf tree?
Chester Collier Ours is planted in a bit of shade. Growth has been average for us so far. Tree produced several fruit already when still Very small.
@@SulcataGrove Mine flowered, and was just planted a few months earlier, ( 3 gallon ) so yeah it is precocious, the flowers didn't take, which is probably for the best as it would have set the tree back. it has flushed a couple times since then. maybe next year I'll let a couple stay on the tree.
Is the taste comparable to Pickering?
Far superior to Pickering. It may be my new favorite mango. Just want to give it a few years to see if it’s as reliable as our coconut cream has been.
Not even close to Pickering. Sugarloaf is nothing short of amazing, just had my first this year. No exaggeration , it tastes like pineapple sweetness. 🎉
Who sells this tree?
We normally have some available, but are sold out now. I’ve see several Florida nurseries with them, but stock has been low this year at most nurseries.
Somebody gives you a mango and you said you were were worried it wasn’t ripe enough makes me think the way you pick your mangos is off.
But what I know Sugarloaf mango 🥭 supposed to taste better while not fully ripe at least for most people
nyuu Paradise It’s more like a sweet sugar loaf pineapple when less ripe. Then it’s like Pina Colada. Then it gets a little strong (for some people).
Is it better than Pina Colada mango?
@@denisvincent1 I always recommend to try the mango first if possible because it's based on mostly preference .
@@denisvincent1In my opinion yes.
