{"product_id":"orange-sherbet-1","title":"Orange Sherbet","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrange Sherbet, originated in Florida, USA,\u003c\/strong\u003e is a product of the famous \u003cstrong\u003eGary Zill mango breeding programme\u003c\/strong\u003e (Zill High Performance Nursery, Boynton Beach, Florida) and arose as a \u003cstrong\u003echance seedling of Lemon Meringue \/ Po Pyu Kalay\u003c\/strong\u003e — the celebrated heirloom mango from Myanmar. Orange Sherbet has been crowned the \u003cstrong\u003e\"Mango of the Year 2025\" in the USA\u003c\/strong\u003e and currently stands as the \u003cstrong\u003enumber one mango variety of Zill High Performance Nursery\u003c\/strong\u003e in Florida. True to its name, the variety delivers a flavour experience that genuinely tastes like orange sherbet — Florida growers and tasters routinely describe it as eating an \"orange sherbet push-pop\" or \"orange creamsicle in mango form.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe fruit ripens with a clean, bright \u003cstrong\u003eyellow peel\u003c\/strong\u003e and reveals an \u003cstrong\u003eorange-yellow, completely fibreless pulp\u003c\/strong\u003e that is buttery-smooth and melts in the mouth. Sweetness is exceptional (\u003cstrong\u003eTSS as high as 27 brix\u003c\/strong\u003e), supported by an outstanding, very rich and complex \u003cstrong\u003ecitrus-forward flavour and aroma\u003c\/strong\u003e — clearly more orange-zest in character than its lemony parent Lemon Meringue. The pleasant, orangey aftertaste of Orange Sherbet lingers on the palate long after the last bite, leaving you craving more for the rest of the day. It is a table-purpose mango. Average fruit weight is around \u003cstrong\u003e300 grams\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the seed is small and \u003cstrong\u003epolyembryonic\u003c\/strong\u003e, meaning seedlings come true to the mother. The trees are \u003cstrong\u003edwarf with a dense canopy\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eregular and heavy bearers\u003c\/strong\u003e that produce fruit \u003cstrong\u003ein clusters\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003edisease resistant\u003c\/strong\u003e in field conditions. It is a \u003cstrong\u003emid-season variety\u003c\/strong\u003e, ripening by \u003cstrong\u003elast week of June in the West Medinipur district of West Bengal, India; and around the same time in Florida, USA\u003c\/strong\u003e. At Amrakunja Nursery \u0026amp; Farms, Orange Sherbet \u003cstrong\u003efruited heavily during the 2025 season\u003c\/strong\u003e, and its legendary taste and aroma satiated the taste buds of the visiting mango lovers. \u003cstrong\u003eDuring 2026 season too\u003c\/strong\u003e, it has fruited heavily - in clusters, which proves that Orange Sherbet is a very high-yielding mango variety. With a workable \u003cstrong\u003eshelf life of 7–10 days\u003c\/strong\u003e, a compact dwarf habit, polyembryonic seed, heavy and regular bearing, disease tolerance, and an unmistakable premium flavour, \u003cstrong\u003eOrange Sherbet shows very good prospects to be a commercial cultivar in India (it will fetch very high price in the market in India; it can also be exported to the Gulf countries for a premium price).\u003c\/strong\u003e Orange Sherbet plants are well-suited to commercial orchards, kitchen gardens, and rooftop \/ terrace gardens alike. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"display: inline-flex; align-items: baseline; gap: 5px; background: #f5ede0; border: 1px solid #e0d0b8; padding: 4px 12px; margin: 4px 4px 0 0; font-family: sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 9px; font-weight: 600; letter-spacing: 0.12em; text-transform: uppercase; color: #8a7a60;\"\u003eColour\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12px; color: #1a3a28;\"\u003eBright Yellow\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"display: inline-flex; align-items: baseline; gap: 5px; background: #f5ede0; border: 1px solid #e0d0b8; padding: 4px 12px; margin: 4px 4px 0 0; font-family: sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 9px; font-weight: 600; letter-spacing: 0.12em; text-transform: uppercase; color: #8a7a60;\"\u003eAverage Weight\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12px; color: #1a3a28;\"\u003e300 grams\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"display: inline-flex; align-items: baseline; gap: 5px; background: #f5ede0; border: 1px solid #e0d0b8; padding: 4px 12px; margin: 4px 4px 0 0; font-family: sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 9px; font-weight: 600; letter-spacing: 0.12em; text-transform: uppercase; color: #8a7a60;\"\u003eSweetness\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12px; color: #1a3a28;\"\u003eTSS 27 Brix +\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"display: inline-flex; align-items: baseline; gap: 5px; background: #f5ede0; border: 1px solid #e0d0b8; padding: 4px 12px; margin: 4px 4px 0 0; font-family: sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 9px; font-weight: 600; letter-spacing: 0.12em; text-transform: uppercase; color: #8a7a60;\"\u003ePulp Recovery\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12px; color: #1a3a28;\"\u003eMore than 75%\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"display: inline-flex; align-items: baseline; gap: 5px; background: #f5ede0; border: 1px solid #e0d0b8; padding: 4px 12px; margin: 4px 4px 0 0; font-family: sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 9px; font-weight: 600; letter-spacing: 0.12em; text-transform: uppercase; color: #8a7a60;\"\u003eShelf Life\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12px; color: #1a3a28;\"\u003e7–10 days\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"display: inline-flex; align-items: baseline; gap: 5px; background: #f5ede0; border: 1px solid #e0d0b8; padding: 4px 12px; margin: 4px 4px 0 0; font-family: sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 9px; font-weight: 600; letter-spacing: 0.12em; text-transform: uppercase; color: #8a7a60;\"\u003eSeed Type\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12px; color: #1a3a28;\"\u003eSmall and polyembryonic\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"display: inline-flex; align-items: baseline; gap: 5px; background: #f5ede0; border: 1px solid #e0d0b8; padding: 4px 12px; margin: 4px 4px 0 0; font-family: sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 9px; font-weight: 600; letter-spacing: 0.12em; text-transform: uppercase; color: #8a7a60;\"\u003eBearing\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12px; color: #1a3a28;\"\u003eRegular and heavy bearer\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MangoPlant","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52063442436398,"sku":null,"price":825.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0903\/7630\/6990\/files\/OrangeSherbet.png?v=1778942850","url":"https:\/\/www.mangoplant.com\/products\/orange-sherbet-1","provider":"Mango Plant","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
