Title: The Ultimate Mango List!
Post by: murahilin on June 05, 2012, 10:45:07 PM
I searched and searched Google for a comprehensive list of mango cultivars and their growth habit, seed type, season, etc. but I was unable to find any. Squam did all of the hard work and made a handy list of 365 cultivars but we need the help of all of the members to input the other characteristics of the trees and fruit and also any missing cultivars. Please let me know any other category suggestions for the list.

This list will help people with such questions as "Which mango trees will give me the longest season?" or "How big will my tree get?" and "Which cultivars can be grated for the optimal multi mango tree?".

EDIT: We now have 468 cultivars on the list!


The weight should probably be in grams.

Here is the list: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1T5yroo6oqvsERObsP-LtgS_zX43TkEMcqtf4_CajGGE/edit?usp=sharing

If you would like to be able to edit the list, please shoot me a PM with your email address and I will add you.

There is a chat feature on the right side of the list if you click the "other viewers" button. People working on the list can use this to discuss changes to the list if they need to.

Please do not delete any information on the list. If you have to make a revision of something you see as an inaccuracy please copy the incorrect information to the "notes" column and explain why you changed it. Also, Do not move around or change the format as I have it or delete any of the columns I created. If you do not like the way I have organized everything, please feel free to copy the list and modify it on your own but not modify this one.

I really like this idea :)

Patrick and I were discussing how to figure out a way to know which mango cultivars would best be multi-grafted onto one tree and he suggested that a list of all the cultivars would be very helpful so I contacted Squam because I figured if anyone was to have a list of the cultivars it would him and here we are with a list. Lol.

Wow!  You and Squam have done some excellent work.  That is quite the list.  This ill be a great source for all of those FAQ's.  Early, mid and late season should be sufficient.  How about a photo of each?  Too much work?

A photo would be great but we would need a more secure (longer lasting) place to host it than "postimage" on the forum. As it is mango season, how about everyone try and get as many shots of mango as possible so we can put it a link to each cultivars photo also. That would make this list truly the greatest mango list every compiled.

Great idea! Do any of the mango books have cultivar lists? What about The Mango: its Botany. Don't have that book so don't know. I've always wondered about total number of worldwide mango cultivars? It's usually given as over 1000, but my guess is that it's a lot more than that. Don't suppose you want to work on that next Sheehan?  ;)

Couldn't you store or backup the photos on this website? Or internatitontropicalfruitforum.com?
BTW i find that postimage quality is pretty bad. Seems to me that all the photos posted there are over exposed, blurry? Doesn't seem like the maintain original quality?

I wish I had the time to make all the lists I want to. After studying all day for the bar, not much time or energy to work on lists at night.

I checked The Mango: Botany, Production and Uses and it only has about 60 or so cultivars listed. I am sure there are a few other cultivars throughout the book but nothing as comprehensive.

I think if everyone contributes we could get this list to be almost all inclusive of the mango cultivars around the world.

There would be enough space on the other site to host it but it would likely drain a lot of bandwidth and since we are on shared hosting it may slow down the forum. I think using the same google drive that I uploaded the list too would be the best place to store the images because it won't affect the loading time of the forum or any other of our websites. If everyone could email me their photos of their mango cultivars I could work on uploading them to an album that anyone on google+ would be able to see.

If anyone does email me their mango pics, please make sure it's your own pic to avoid copyright issues.

What a great idea. 

I think the season should be given as the months the tree fruits in Florida.  Early, mid or late season is too simple.  Certain trees would them be listed as early to mid which covers too long of a season to really be helpful.  Plus most people that are growing a variety should easily know in what months the tree usually fruits.

That's a good idea. I think I remember seeing a bunch of pics of mangos from there in the past few years posted by members so we could even start gathering those members pics from now and we wouldn't need as many from the Festival.

Only problem with using Fairchild fest photos is that some of the fruits are not fully ripe. They pick whatever they have at the time. But still a great idea because you could just omit the photos that aren't really representative of the fruits. If members contributed photos of their own fruits i would think they would be better quality shots as often the lighting, crowds, rush, etc.  at the festival is not really conducive to getting good shots.

In regards to the "Season" category, should it be general such as early, mid, late or should be specify the months for the main mango growing areas on the forum eg., Florida, CA?

Fantastic idea.
I'm of the belief that if you want to make an 'ultimate mango list', you dont base it soley on Floridian mango season, particularly if you want cultivars from far off places that dont care about when the mangoes might ripen in Florida.  I note that early-mid-late is pretty simplistic though. Perhaps making bracketed notes on season in Floria or CA after the early-mid-late scale would be okay - or have it as an unlabelled field in a 'notes/observations' category?

I agree. We can't have the list be Florida centric but we can definitely add a column for each mango region and have the months listed. The season bracket will remain pretty simplistic and be early-mid-late and if anyone wants to go through the extra work of adding the months for their region in another column that would be fine too.

That's the eventual goal. I see a lot of people have visited the list but hardly anyone has contributed though. The success of the list really depends on members taking the time to input info.

That category doesn't seem too important because with a greenhouse you could theoretically fruit them anywhere. It would me a more relevant category in the list of all fruit species but not this specific mango list.
Title: Re: The Ultimate Mango List!
Post by: mangomandan on June 06, 2012, 01:37:14 PM
Would a "special notes" column be appropriate?   E.g. "harvest mature green for best flavor."

And a fruit quality column?   "Heroic" members of the forum could rate those varieties they have tasted, from one to 5 stars.

I am not sure if I want to add a quality column because peoples tastes are so different. I don't want one persons flavor profile controlling the list.

The notes column would be good because that is also where anyone could comment on how they would describe the flavor, avoiding a rating system.

I disagree...as fruiting in a greenhouse, basement, etc. would provide a different climate condition and environment where everything could be off, including season, taste, color, stc.  I think this list should be made up of outdoor fruiting trees as that is where most fruiting occurs and that is what most people will be wanting to know about.   say this cause as most people are growing them outdoors, it would be helpful to know that it may fruit in location x but not in location y; or it may be less disease resitant in location x than location y.

Then people may be relying on false information.  It would be very important to know that a person fruited it in New York indoors and Califirnia outdoors but was not successful in Florida (hypothetical).  I sure would be pissed if I wated time, space and money relying on what could be a very prominent database just to find out 5 years later that the info it it was skewed/not complete.  Just my 2 pennies...I know, I do not have to read it if I don't want to.

The problem with making an entire category for it is that it's unlikely that many mangos that will fruit in CA and indoors in NY will not fruit in FL. That is where the "Notes" category would come in. It would allow for people to make anecdotal notes on what they have noticed. Something like a mango not fruiting in FL would be perfect for the notes section.

Post by: Pancrazio on June 06, 2012, 08:36:49 PM
Great idea.
I haven't written in a while, i have too little spare time right now.
Anyhow, i just wanted to add a suggestion. A more general way the predict mangos maturation time exists and it is the degree day method. You just need the degree-day for a given cultivar and you can foretell if something will ripen at your house or not, and, if it turns out that it will ripe, you can guess when it will ripe. You just need a climate table of your location with average temperature, and some very simple math.
It's pretty easy to build a degree day table for a given cultuvar (simply record the flowering date and the maturation date, do it for some years and do the calculation) but the best thing is that once you have the degree day for the given cultivar it is the same in Florida, California, Canary island, India, Italy, New York, Hawaii, giving everyone a rough idea on how long a cultivar takes before ripening in a given environment.

Someone incorrectly changed the origin of the Julie mango to Jamaica. I had it listed as Trinidad as evidenced by many more sources than the ones that list Jamaica.

I don't see the "other viewers" button on the right side

but like someone said - the HEROIC members should have
some great filler information for much of the list.

And I was intrigued by Pan's idea of degree days - seems like
that WOULD be the general key as to when something would fruit.
Seems like that kind of science would align with the plant's inner computer.
Not even sure if that info is available much for the diff. species....

I think it would be a good idea, to set up some standard guidelines in the list.

For example, Fruit weight ,  if not specified means someone will put in ounces, grams, or pounds.

When stating tree size,  what terms should people use,  small/med/large or Dwarf, Normal, precocious etc.

having set names would prevent a big mix.

Also i can see where some problems and conflicts will arise with things like tree size, and season, due to  differences in location and rootstock etc.

What I meant was.. Should the choices be "green, dessert, both" as opposed to "Poor, fair, good, Excellent". Cause right now, we have both formats in the same column. Some mangos are definitely better eaten green.

Once again, please do not change any of the names of the categories I made. If you would like to suggest something different, mention it here. Do not take it upon yourself to change it. Someone changed the Fruit Season category to Fruit Seasons in Florida so I deleted everything that was Florida specific. If we need a FL column it can be separate but I am not sure if we need one.

Do you guys think we need a separate column for Florida Seasons?

Late, mid-season, early are not specific enough. If you want to extend the mango season with fewer trees then it would be nice to have the month and year for South Florida. For example Lemon Meringue is coming in early June in 2012. Keep this for each year. We record LM in 2013, 2014 etc

You would need another spread sheet

http://www.rfvcbroward.org/mangos.html (http://www.rfvcbroward.org/mangos.html)
reported attack page from Firefox...I have had this issue before with links to the Broward RFC webpages.
Same problem here. I went to it because I was curious about their list though. Ours is much more comprehensive. Maybe they can use our list on their website once we finish it.

Yes, Murahlin - I think if we are going to mention the seasons for fruiting it should be specific to the region it applies to.  Also, I'm adding some information on the Kook Lom Krong, but it is hearsay from someone else's mouth.  IS this OK....you'll see it with the KOOK mango when i finish it here....

OK - re-entered it and added a few comments.  Now, is this supposed to be some kind of "official" knowledge of the variety or what someone told you or "the word on the street" kind of information?  A Lynn from Frankie's is where I gleaned this info from the old tropical fruit forum and I am using it like it pulls some weight, as there is so little on the internet about Kook Lom Krong...

Perhaps some info is better than nothing?  Or...perhaps the Source of the information should be revealed (oh but then if 5 people add stuff to a variety you might have 5 different sources!)

good idea Gary. I'm going to add Bizcochuelo to the list. I'll have to look in the archives of the old GW forum for my description of this legendary Cuban variety.

Just noticed some mangoes are not showing up, for example I'm only listing

5
11
22
120
135 (nothing)
136  from this entry on it looks ok.

not sure if this is just a problem on my side or its happening to everyone.

Post by: BestDay on June 18, 2012, 10:55:53 PM
I'm having the same problem.  It looks like someone deleted a lot of mangos from the list.

The list is also showing Southern Blush and Spirit of 76 as early?  I thought they both fruited about the same time in June or July. 

The list also shows San Felipe as early.  PIN says it fruits in June.  Is June considered early?  I thought that was mid season.

I fixed the problem. Someone turned on a filter that hid a lot of data. I just disabled the filter and all the fields showed back up.

Still not sure what went in 135 though.

The Dupuis Saigon says medium tree- its not. I saw Walter Zill's one-its huge. He told me that he considers it a vigorous grower.  He also describes it as an early mango, his favorite early mango.

Just an FYI

Yes, that would be very useful. Thanks for the offering to take the time to take the pics. Pics of trees would be helpful but if possible, could you also include the age of the tree with the pic? I think that would give a better reference as to how large the tree will get after a certain time period in FL.

Input from members


Some 25 odd years ago I had a peach mango (never saw another one) and can tell you this:

Tree size: large
Growth rate: fast
Fruit size: Small less han a pound
Fiber: None very sweet
Disease resistance: NEVER had any common problems reported on the web
Location:Deerfield Beach Fla.

I only fed it fish carcasses, nothing more, and it supplied the whole neighborhood with fruit in less than 5 years from a tree when it went into the ground with a trunk around 3" across.

Lol. Yes they did. But the person who did it is an idiot and the list has been restored. Google keeps copies of the list for every single revision. So all I had to do was click two buttons and restore the last good copy.

Hi,

I am from the Philippines. I would like to share with you carabao mango cultivars. The GES stand for Guimaras Experimental Station. This is the National Mango Research Center of the Bureau of Plant Industry located in Jordan, Guimaras Island. The number after the GES stands for the year it was registered and released. MMSU means Mariano Marcos State Univeristy located in Ilocos .  The Sweet Elena is from Sabang, Sta. Cruz, Zambales. Fresco, Talaban, Tanaleon, Guimaras Super (Galila) and Efondo are the surnames of theowners of mother tree, all of which are located in the Island province of Guimaras. There are also other endemic mango varieties but not popularized such as pico, paho and huani.

I hope this will be of help.

Please find attached characteristics of the different mango cultivars.

Welcome to the Forum, and thank you for the lists,  the second list has the names cut off at the top though.

Interesting the "Super Galila" has a brix over 22% that must be like eating pure honey.

I checked to see if the filter was on, this was a fix Mura did before, and sure enough it was on. I turned it off, and seems all ok.  I suggest people download the list, just in case, I downloaded a copy in PDF format. and keep it on my USB drive for reference.

Agreed, super cool Idea, list can be made for lots of fruits in a similar manor. Defiantly a way to preserve some germplasm  8)
Unless it has already been used, the book cornucopia II has lots of varieties of everything listed and should have some mango cultivars listed too. Don't have my copy on me though...

How true to type are polyembryonic mango seeds?
Title: Re: The Ultimate Mango List!
Post by: gunnar429 on July 20, 2014, 04:09:41 PM
polyembryonic seeds have one "sprout" that is a result of sexual reproduction (and not identical to the mother).  The rest are identical clones of the mother.

Thanks Gunnar.

I read conflicting things about which shoot is the one that is a clone, so I wasn't sure.

Does anyone have a saved version of the file that they could PM me?

Or someone with access tell me what seed have Carrie, Mallika and Po Pyu Kalay?

Amazing list. Bumping it back up because many on the forum might not know it exists. Bookmarked it. Unfortunately many of the common, more recent Zill varieties and others aren't fleshed out as well as they could be. Of course this takes a lot of time and manpower- Murahilin and Squam thanks for your work on it.

While I'm a mango novice and have little to contribute, hopefully others who are veterans can add for everyones mutual benefit.
