White Pirie Mango
« on: June 21, 2013, 09:38:56 PM »
Recently I tasted a Edward mango and it reminded me of White Pirie mangoes that I ate as a child in Hawaii.  Can anyone confirm that the White Pirie tastes similar to an Edward?

Mr. Clean,

I was curious about this too.  I'm surprised that no one has replied.

I don't know the answer myself because I have never tried an Edwards mango...but have heard so many good things about them.
But I have tried both the White Pirie and the Pirie (similar to White Pirie) a few times while visiting relatives in Hawaii.  White Pirie is the best mango that I have ever tried!
I did have a VN (Vietnamese?) mango tree that I bought at Mimosa Anaheim (California) about 10 years ago and its fruit tasted and looked colorwise just like the White Pirie.  Unfortunately, I killed the tree later that year by overwatering and have not been able to find the VN mango tree for sale anywhere since then.

Literature indicates that the Bombay mango is similar to the Paheri/Pairi/Pirie.  Not many people grow Bombay mango in California, from what I can tell.  So, since you are from Florida where people actually grow Bombay mango trees...
Maybe another question is... does the White Pirie taste like a Bombay mango? And does an Edwards mango taste like a Bombay mango?

Not sure about White Pirie/Paheri...but I do know that Bombay tastes nothing like Edward.

Thanks Harry for the info.

I'm new to this forum, but have been reading mango posts for years...don't know why it took me so long to join.

Someday, I hope to meet Southern CA locals JF, MangoFang, & MangoProfessor (who live relatively close to me) and go to one of their mango tasting sessions to try one of their Edwards and seek what other mangoes taste like White Pirie.
