More Info: Pina Colada is an outstanding selection from the breeding program of Gary Zill in Boynton Beach, FL. Its maternal parent was ‘Dot’ and ‘Gary’ its paternal parent. The flesh is light yellow, soft, and fiberless, containing a polyembryonic seed. The flavor of Piña Colada is rich as syrup at the regular ripe stage, like a ‘Dot’ mango on steroids. At the riper stage, its namesake enters the flavor profile and it takes on those remarkable pineapple and coconut notes found in the frozen drink. Almost sickenly sweet, it is not a mango for the faint of heart!
