Without delving into a discussion of its attributes or lack thereof, can anyone post or direct me to a photo of a ripe Irwin mango? Online sources that sell it have conflicting photos and I don't know which, if any, are the real deal. Thanks!

I believe the famous japanese grown mangoes are irwin, but you may only find perfectly shaped fruits in the net since they proceed to a drastic selection of the fruits they sell and which pics are found in the net.

yes google was how I found several photos, some of which looked nothing like others so I had no idea which to believe. Thanks Simon - so I can be confident that this one is the real Irwin?

I grew Irwin in La Habra for three years. This variety was very productive red fruits medium size of below quality. If you do a forum search you might find it
