Ornamental Mango Cultivars
« on: September 29, 2016, 10:47:42 PM »
I was curious about something so I thought I would throw it out to all you mango fanatics -- what cultivars of mango (Mangifera indica) have ornamental value (brilliant red new growth, not pretty fruit)?   I have not seen this on any of the mango cultivars I currently have but some rootstocks I have (from store bought mangoes) have decent color on new growth and some of the "wild mango" species (odorata, lalijiwa, kasturi)  I have have gorgeous blood red color that last for at least a couple of weeks.  I'm guessing some of the indica cultivars must have nice color as well.  Comments?

Thanks!
John
