What variety of mango might this be?
« on: January 12, 2014, 10:32:06 PM »
A guy from the department of agriculture visited my farm last weekend to help with some mango grafting.  He brought some scions from an unknown variety, along with one of the fruit.  I'd appreciate any thoughts on what this variety might be.  It was imported to Fiji, so is likely a named variety.

The fruit skin when ripe is light green with bit of yellow.  Medium size.  The flesh is yellow-orange and very low fiber.  The seed is very thin and mono embryonic. 

   

Any ideas?
