Cecilove (Ceci Love) is a selection of Carrie from the breeding program of Gary Zill. Its pollen parent was likely Zill Indochinese (Zinc), and its flavor group is firmly of the Indochinese hybrid sort. Originally number 34-24, it was given the name Cecilove by Richard Campbell who named it after his wife.
The fruit is ovate in shape, medium-sized and yellow at maturity. The flesh is completely fiberless, yellow and with a rich indochinese hybrid flavor with a defined tart-component that fades as the mango becomes riper, transitioning to a syrupy sweetness with note of cola. The fruit matures mid-season, and its seed is monoembryonic.
The trees have grown somewhat slowly thus far with a very compact and dense growth habit. They are appropriately grouped as dwarf.
Cecilove is an oustanding interesting newer variety as its eating quality is superb, comparable to other Zinc relatives such as Venus, Sweet Tart, and Buttercream. With outstanding disease resistance to go along with exceptional flavor and compact growth habit.
