Yess! Mango
Previously known as Mango 1234, our Yess! Mango could fool you into thinking it was a Kensington Pride mango with its flavour. Sweet and juicy, sure to be a new Aussie favourite, Yess! Mangoes have a light orange coloured flesh with a soft texture and are soft to touch when they’re ripe, similar to a classical KP. But here’s the best part: Yess! Mangoes mature early in the season, 2-4 weeks before KP’s, meaning you get your mango fix early this year. Click here for our full assessment on Yess! Mangoes!
