Bought these mangoes at a (sorta nearby) Flea market ... Can anyone venture some guesses as to what they are? They were $1 a piece...the large lemon is there for size comparison...Nice size mangoes...Thanks in advance

Could the bottom one be an Edward?

My guess is they are all no-names grown from seeds. I.E. someone ate a mango and planted the seed.

there's more than 1 variety, right?  The shapes look quite different.

The long one was excellent...completely fiberless, sweet and delicious. I haven't eaten the large roundish one yet...

The two roundish ones 'might" be Haden, I ate one last week from a produce stand and the guy told me it was a Haden...these two looks very similar to them...

The one I ate could very well be a Valencia Pride, I've never had a VP before so no idea?

 Thanks!
