Hi, I would appreciate any help identifying this mango tree. It does not resemble any of the other mangos that I have and I am at a loss to ID it. The fruit is not yet ripe so I am not able to do a taste comparison yet either.
That green tape looks too tight///// Is it? The tape securing the tree to the pole. Looks to me like it has indented the bark in another place previouslyBetter to use an old rope. Or I have an old electrical cord doing it.Is this tree grafted? Did you look for a graft line?
From the looks of the fruit only, I would say its a seedling. Can you confirm it is grafted and this is indeed the graft material?Does not look like any NDM or Okrung I have seen.

I lost the id tag as I was transporting it and several dozen other trees into my pole barn during likely freeze mornings when they were all in buckets.

Can you please post a close up picture of the graft union. Its the odd "bumpiness" to the fruit that I have concerns over.
Any other ideas? Does the bumpiness on the fruit distort it beyond recognition?
