Variety: CacOrigin: VietnamSeason: Late June-JulyTree size: Large, vigorous with open leggy habitCondo Mango: NoFruit shape/size/color: Heart shaped/Medium 18 oz./Green to yellowTexture: FiberlessFlavor: Elements of citrus and peach, sweetAnthracnose Resistance: GoodSeed Type: PolyembryonicComments: Cac is a selection from Vietnam, where it was singled out for consistent yields, a beautiful appearance and superb eating quality. The fruit are ovate and are 18 oz with an uncommonly smooth skin. The fruit are greenish-yellow with a lemon yellow flesh with no fiber. The flavor is uncomplicated, blending the elements of citrus and peach with a gentle floral bouquet. The tree is vigorous, with an open and leggy growth habit that requires close attention to branch tipping and shaping. The practical catch is simple: tropical fruit rewards the right site more than heroic maintenance. Give it drainage, sun, root room and a cold plan before the first freeze warning.
