Buttercream Mango Tree
The Buttercream Mango Tree is a unique addition to any tropical fruit tree collection. This small to medium-sized tree, with its low vigor and spreading growth habit, forms an open canopy that can be easily maintained between 8 – 15 feet tall with regular pruning. However, it’s not suitable for long-term container growth or as a “condo” mango.
The tree’s distinctive growth pattern features long, slender branches with extended internodes, similar to the Lancetilla variety. This characteristic may result in a somewhat “crooked” appearance in windy conditions, adding to its charm.
Despite its unusual growth habit, the Buttercream Mango Tree is a consistent performer, producing an average to good yield of medium-sized fruits, typically weighing between 1.5 – 2 lbs. The tree’s first bloom often consists of a higher proportion of male flowers, yet this doesn’t hinder its fruitful output.
The real star of the show is the Buttercream Mango itself. This Indochinese flavored mango may not win beauty contests with its greenish-yellow, bumpy, and uneven skin, but it’s the taste and texture that truly shine. The fruit’s yellowish-orange flesh is completely fiberless, offering a melt-in-your-mouth experience that lives up to its ‘buttercream’ name. The flavor is refreshingly sweet and rich, with subtle hints of tartness and citrus, providing a well-balanced and mellow mango taste compared to more intense varieties.
Buttercream Mangos are a mid-season variety, typically harvested in June – July. The best time to pick these mangos is when they are mature and beginning to ripen on the tree, showing signs of yellow color break. The fruit is perfectly ripe when it transitions to a golden yellow color.
The Buttercream Mango Tree also displays good resistance to Bacterial Black Spot and Anthracnose, making it a robust choice for your garden. This variety, first propagated in Boynton Beach, Florida by Gary Zill, has been available for sale since 2017.
