Introducing the Lemon Zest Mango Tree, a must-have for citrus lovers! This tree is known for its medium to large size and its vigorous, upright growth habit that forms a dense canopy. With proper annual pruning, it can be maintained between 10 to 20 feet tall, making it a perfect addition to your garden.
The Lemon Zest Mango Tree is not a slow grower and is not considered a dwarf variety. It thrives in containers during its early years but prefers to be planted in the ground for long-term growth.
The tree produces medium-sized fruits, typically weighing between 1 to 1.5 lbs. The fruit yield ranges from average to good, often producing larger fruits than its parent tree, Lemon Meringue. The fruits are considered Citrus Flavored Mangos, offering a sweet and smooth taste with a perfect blend of sweetness and tartness, reminiscent of a perfectly ripe lemon or delicious lemonade.
The Lemon Zest Mango is known for its lemon candy-like aroma. When cut open, it reveals a yellow, fiberless flesh with a juicy, uniform, and melting texture. The flesh is denser compared to other citrus mangos, offering a richer, more complex profile. Depending on the fruit’s ripeness, Lemon Zest can also have notes of very sweet orange and tangelos.
The best time to pick Lemon Zest Mangos is when they are mature and beginning to ripen on the tree, usually around mid to late season (July – August). The fruit is perfectly ripe when the majority of it transitions to a golden yellow color.
Please note, the Lemon Zest Mango Tree may be susceptible to diseases and may not thrive in very humid areas. It was first propagated in Boynton Beach, Florida as a seedling of Lemon Meringue by Gary Zill and was released for sale in early 2011.
Add the Lemon Zest Mango Tree to your garden today and enjoy the taste of fresh mango lemonade right from your backyard!
