Little Mango Big Mango Tree (Big Mango Series Book 1)

Zill of Boynton Beach, Florida. It was named in honor of Mr. The Carrie mango turns slight yellow when ripe, but what it lacks in color, it makes up in taste. The Carrie mango has a strong resinous flavor that is desired by some, and despised by others. A Carrie mango must be allowed to ripen on the tree and develops a strong "musky" flavor when over-ripe. India , Sindh , Pakistan. Nuzvid in Andhra Pradesh of India. Coconut Cream is part of the selective breeding program by Zills High Performance and is patented.

The fruit tastes like coconut cream pie. The tree is ugly in appearance because the branches grow in arcs and curve around, making a complex tree canopy.

Pakistan , Bangladesh , India , Thailand. Choc Anan is known as the ever-bearing mango tree because of its potential to have a mango crop during the summer and winter. Some speculate that removing the summer crop may increase the chances of a winter crop by allowing the tree to save the energy that would have been used for fruit production in the summer. Cogshall is from Pine Island, Florida. It is an excellent eating quality, but is not commercially available because of a very short shelf-life and thin skin that would bruise easily.

India , Nepal , Pakistan ,.

Dot is an exceptional tasting mango. The dot mango is highly susceptible to anthracnose, so it should not be planted in high humidity locations. Grown in Digha, Patna, Bihar.

Mangifera indica (mango)

Haden was a Mulgoba seedling. The original Haden tree still stands in Coral Gables, Florida. Bangladesh , India , Nepal. In Japan this variety is marketed as Apple Mango, and in the case of imports from Japan one needs to take care not to confuse it with the Apple Mango grown in the Philippines. Also known as the Jingu Ivory mango, or Ivory mango, this long, thin mango is named for its resemblance to a young elephant's tusk.

India , Pakistan , Bangladesh. Large kidney shaped mango that ripens to a golden yellow colour with piquant flesh Commonly exported to the United States in spring; often a feature of NYC fruit stands. Madame Francis is a high fiber mango. Asia , United States. Mahachanok is an oblong commercial mango from Asia, with yellow to orange color exterior when ripe. Described as a fiberless, sweet, and pleasant mango.

The leaves of the tree are dark green and slimmer than many other mango trees. Large mango grows in clusters, seedling of Chaunsa. Exceptional complex flavor good sweetness. Hawaii , United States. Teardrop shaped with a narrow point. Ripens to a reddish orange blush. Flesh has creamy consistency. Fruit weigh 9 to 12 oz, with the general shape of a fat cashew nut. They are smooth-skinned and bright yellow upon ripening and have no blush. The flesh is deep yellow or orange. There is no fiber and a rich, aromatic flavor that is over-powering to the unaccustomed palate. They have a late ripening season and can be stored for an extended time.

In Hawaii, mango was first recorded in an introduction of several small plants from Manila in Morton, It is now found in all the tropical and subtropical regions such as the Canary Islands, Madeira, along the shores of the Mediterranean, Australia, the Persian Gulf region, and in southern Brazil and the southern USA. It also thrives in open and disturbed areas along roadsides, pastures, and secondary wet and dry forests Orwa et al. It is very common in abandoned gardens, plantations and old farms Bally, Bioversity International promotes and coordinates germplasm collections in all important mango-growing countries.

Flowers are visited and possibly pollinated by flies, ants, beetles and bats, but bees appear to be the most effective pollinators. Bisexual flowers are predominantly outcrossing and exhibit protogynousdychogamy, but trees are generally self-compatible and the occurrence of geitonogamy is common. Normally only the buds at the compressed shoot tip partake in extension growth and flowering.

Vigour finds expression in shoots of larger size and in the leafing out of more often up to five lateral buds at the shoot tip. With the onset of bearing, the number of flushes is reduced to two or three, including the dry-season flush which coincides with flowering. Studies of several mango cultivars have revealed biennial flowering at the twig level, which means that shoots emerging from twigs which have flowered are unlikely to flower in their turn, even where flowering did not result in fruiting. Also, shoots of the last flush before flowering are less likely to break into bloom than twigs of previous flushes which have gone through much longer quiescent periods.

In many Indian cultivars these tendencies are so strong that prolific bloom or late flushing necessarily lead to failure of the following bloom, thus leading to biennial bearing. In India, the general flowering season is between January and March. In south-east Asia, flowering starts at the beginning of the rainy season and fruits ripen at the end of the rainy season Orwa et al. Studies of several mango cultivars have shown biennial flowering but most varieties flower only once a year. The inflorescence can reach full bloom from the time of flower initiation within days and the fruits ripen after months.

One in perfect flowers can be expected to yield a fruit Troup, ; Kostermans and Bompard, The mango thrives both in the subtropics and the tropics. In the subtropics the cold months ensure excellent floral induction, but late frosts are a major risk: In the tropics the mango grows almost anywhere up to m elevation, but for fruit production a prominent dry season lasting more than 3 months is necessary.

A flowering flush is produced during the dry season, but contrary to the subtropics, flowering is erratic and a yield-limiting factor. Rainfall ranges from to mm per year in tropical centres of production. Mangoes grow in a wide range of soils and moisture regimes. The trees are drought-tolerant, and on the other hand do not seem to suffer from occasional flooding. A deep rooting depth 2. A high pH is less detrimental than acid soils, the preferred range being 5. Some 25 fungus diseases affect mango, the most serious and widespread disease being anthracnose Glomerella cingulata. Anthracnose infects shoots, flowers and fruits; it is particularly ruinous if the trees flower under wet conditions.

The dark-brown spots can develop at any time. Other fungus diseases are powdery mildew Oidium mangifera e which infects flowers and fruitlets as well as the leaves , and leaf spots and various storage rots of the fruit. Malformation of inflorescences, caused by Fusarium sacchari in conjunction with mites, affects the trees in the subtropics but apparently does not thrive in the warmer tropical climates.

There are also several bacterial diseases. Mango hoppers Amritodus atkinsoni and Idioscopus spp. A host of other insects can do serious damage, such as mango mealybug Drosicha mangiferae , Perissopneumon ferox , mango gall midges Erosomyia indica , Dasineura amaramanjarae, Procystiphora mangiferae, Amradiplosis allahabadensis, Procontarinia , mango shoot gall psylla Apsylla cistellata, Pauropsylla brevicornis , fruit flies Bactrocera, Ceratitis capitata, Anastrepha , fruit-sucking moths Eudocima, Achaea , fruit borers, thrips, ants, termites Isoptera , grey weevil Myllocerus , flea weevil Rhynchaenus mangiferae , leaf-cutting weevil Deporaus Eugnamptus marginatus , aphids, stone weevil Sternochetus , leaf-eating caterpillars, shoot borers, leaf miners Acrocercops , bark-eating caterpillars Indarbela quadrinotata , stem borers Batocera , coccids and mango leaf webbers Orthaga, Lamida carbonifera.

This species is mainly moved and dispersed by humans through the commercialization and consumption of its fruits. In addition to humans, fruits are also eaten and dispersed by large variety of animals including monkeys, bats, elephants, hornbills, raccoons and porcupines Orwa et al.

Mango is cultivated for the fruit which can be eaten in three distinct ways, depending largely on the cultivar: The green fruit is also used to flavour fish and meat dishes in the same way as tamarind and other sour fruits. Seed kernels form a by-product of processing; they can be used as feed for cattle and poultry. In India the kernels are also important as a famine-food, but the astringency has to be removed by boiling, roasting or soaking the kernels for a long time.

Young leaves are eaten fresh or cooked as a vegetable. Dried flowers or bark and decoctions of the kernels serve as astringents in traditional medicine. Extracts of unripe fruit and of bark, stems and leaves have shown antibiotic activity. The wood is fairly strong, hard and easy to work but it must be treated with preservatives when used in construction and outdoor applications.

It makes excellent charcoal and is also used to culture mushrooms. Mangoes are an important component of the diet in many less developed countries in the subtropics and tropics. In regions of the world that have experienced low living standards and serious nutritional deficiencies their attractiveness and flavour have also enhanced the quality of life.

Surplus production has increasingly been processed and fruit of certain cultivars is destined for export as fresh fruit. No part of the fruit is wasted. Mango wood is a low quality timber, and the bark of the tree is an important source of tannins for curing leather. The fruit also has some medicinal characteristics Garrido and Valdes, Catalogue of the Seed Plants of the West Indies.
