A List Of Important Mango Cultivars And The Countries From Where They Come
Alphonso is a seasonal mango fruit renowned for its sweetness and flavor.
Hundreds of mango cultivars exist worldwide. Multiple cultivars can be grown in an orchard to improve the quality of mango produced through cross-pollination. In India, there are over 280 types of mangoes of which just about 30 are well known. The state of Florida, in the US, is one of the largest depositories of mango plant in the world with over 400 varieties. Most of the mango varieties available in grocery stores in the US trace their lineage to the Hadem mango tree which was planted by Jack Haden in 1902.
Alampur Baneshan
Alampur Baneshan cultivar originated from India. It is a medium-sized fruit with the appearance ranging from green to yellow. The mango has a thin skin and is fibreless. The ripe flesh ranges from yellow to orange-yellow. Alampur Baneshan stays green even when ripe although a slight yellowing is often noted near the stalk. The skin has distinct whitish pores. The ripe fruit has a deep flavor with a slight taste of cinnamon and other Indian cultivars like the Alphonso. Alampur Baneshan is also cultivated in the US in large scale.
Alice
Alice mango cultivar originated from South Florida. It is an oval-shaped fruit averaging less than one pound in weight at maturity. The apex is rounded and does not contain any beak. The skin has a strong scent, is fibreless, and is also very sweet. The Alice mango tree is a vigorous grower with the fruit ripening from late June to July with the fruit containing mono-embryonic seed. The tree first fruited in 1940 and was named in 1950.
Alphonso
Alphonso is a seasonal mango fruit considered among the most superior variety of fruits regarding sweetness and flavor. The cultivar is named after General Afonso de Albuquerque who helped to establish Portuguese colonies in India. Alphonso was introduced as a result of grafting of mango trees which was a common practice by the Portuguese. Alphonso mango is one of the most expensive mango varieties. It is grown in several places including India, Pakistan, Ecuador, Egypt, Nepal, and the US. The fruit has a rich, tender texture, and low fiber content. The skin of a fully ripe fruit turns golden yellow with a tinge of red spreading across the top of the fruit.
Amrapali
Amrapali mango was introduced in 1971 and was a hybrid variety of Dasheri and Neelum. The variety was developed in India by Dr. Pijush Kanti Majumdar. The mango has been introduced in several farms not only in Delhi but also in other areas across India. Amrapali mango tree is a dwarf tree but a regular bearer. The tree bears small sized fruits. The flesh color varies but is mostly deep orange-red while the fruit contains more beta-carotene content than other varieties. The fruit has a shorter shelf-life compared to other varieties.
Anderson
The original Anderson mango tree was developed from Sandersha mango tree which was obtained from Jamaica. The seed owes its namesake to its original planting on L F Anderson’s farm in Miami, Florida. The fruit is also long and slender with a small lateral beak. The skin of the fruit is thick and is green to yellow in color with a blush of crimson while the fruit is yellow and acidic or mild in flavor.
