Interesting, Lester!
I'd seen all the catalog descriptions indicating that Mango originated in
Tifton, GA - and I always assumed it was a locally-originated plant.
The PA Golden series have, if I recall correctly, consistently placed
well in taste comparisons at the KYSU pawpaw plantings at the KYSU farm
in Frankfort, KY.
Chris, much like you, I've gotten to the point that I notice the
'aftertaste' more and more, as well. Still like to eat a pawpaw now
and then, but I'm not 'ga-ga' over them anymore.
