Chok Anan Mangoes

Chok Annan is one of the popular mangoes in Malaysia. It's the sweetest mango I ever tasted among the local Sabah, Manila and Australian mangoes. This is only my point of view. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

In my review, this mango tasted like honey. The skin is thick thus fruit flies don't easily destroy the fruits even when they ripen. This variety of mangoes are able to bear fruits throughout the year, meaning to say the tree doesn't need any season but will bear fruits whenever it suits them.

It is a dwarf variety, therefore ideal to grow them in containers as ornaments in the garden. Some researchers believe that the 1st fruit batch is the sweetest, but to me, it makes no difference. Maybe my taste is not sensitive enough.😂

First Picture of my Chok Annan plant, the day I bought it from the Market for Rm18 and transplanted it directly to soil. I used potting soil. When I was searching for dwarf mango variety, the salesman recommended this type. I was told it was a grafted plant so it will start to bear fruits in a year or two.

A few weeks after transplanting

18th April 2019 -

Flowers began to appear for the 1st time (6 months after transplanting) 

 But the fruits took time to develop thus was harvested only in August

  Little buds were noticeable- birth of little mangoes! I was so excited! 

Look at that!😁

July 2019

August 2019- big mangoes!! 

But only 5 of them reached matured age, the rest just dropped off to the grounds

22nd Aug 2019- Harvested the 1st mango on the tree. 

For the 1st time, I tasted a Chok Annan mango from the tree. Here is my comment : It's so deliciously sweet and the texture so firm and chewy. Even the smell of this ripen mango is so aromatic. Compared to Manila mangoes, they are sweet and aromatic too but  manila mango are not as chewy and the texture too soft. My conclusion to this mango is : I still prefer this Chok Annan.

 Last mango left on the tree

31st August 2019 - harvested the last mango....

 Honestly speaking, after tasting chok anan, I don't think I will go for another variety. 

As much as I love mangoes, I must remember that all mangoes are heated food like the durians so it's advisable to eat only in moderation.

Ever since I tasted this type of mango, I was not keen to try others any more.

I gave some to my daughter to try.

 Instead of eating it as fruits, she made it into a mango tarts.😂 

At the same time, a friend of mine from Singapore posted a few pictures of her Chok Anan tree which she planted in a pot on the 14th floor of her penthouse.

Chok Anan tree on the 14th floor in Singapore! Amazing, isn't it? 
Nothing is impossible if you put your mind seriously to start something. 😁

 

July 2020 -  fruiting started again

This time , the mangoes did not dropped off easily like the 1st time. So there were more mangoes on the tree, about 10 of them.

9th May 2021 - My tree began to bloom again for the 3rd time👍

10/7/2021

This time only 5 beautiful mangoes. I have not fertilized my soil yet since I transplanted this tree but will do so soon. Waiting for my 5 mangoes to ripe.😋

 Oh No!😱☹️My 5 mangoes went missing on 18th Aug 2021! Someone must have pinched them, not leaving even one for me! How cruel! 😭The mangoes were hanging near the chain linked fence so most probably someone passing by the fence, couldn't resist and took them away even though they were not ripe yet.😤

Arrgg... Maybe it's not meant to be. Maybe it's God's wish to let others have it. Anyway, I believe God will bless the tree and give more fruits for the next season.🙏😘😊😉
