Mangos of the diminican republic?
« on: December 27, 2016, 10:04:06 AM »
 Does anyone know what varieties are being grown/ exist in the Dominican Republic?

 I was fortunate enough to be able to attend a Christmas gathering with my brother in law and his family who are from DM. Thank 10lb,11oz golden fleeced baby Jesus that they cooked a pork roast with traditional Dominican favorites as I could not eat one more bite of turkey, mashed potatoes or green bean casserole.  I brought them a house warming gift  of a rossiglod and a Harvest moon for there new place. So naturally the subject of mangoes was a common interest. My question for the forum members is.......

If my wife and I wanted to buy a piece of land in DM and grow mangoes there as a profitable business what would be the best varieties to grow and would I be able to import them or be stuck with local varieties?
