Is this a maprang or mango?
« on: July 25, 2022, 11:20:32 PM »
I saw a couple of weeks ago that someone bought what was sold as a maprang on ebay from Puerto Rico was actually a mango.
Of course, I had purchased a supposed mango from a Puerto Rico nursery, but on etsy.  So I am crossing my fingers this is a maprang.

Crush the leaves and smell. If there is no fragrance, it is Maprang.
The slender stem towards the tip, as in the picture,  is an identifier for Maprang.

Yeah.  And darn, it's doing so well, too.
