Can you help ID this mango
« on: June 16, 2025, 05:59:54 PM »
I have a mango fruit for the first time in my yard from a branch with the label long lost.  The fruit has a prominent “ beak” which I hope will help identify the variety.  Any suggestions?  I might be able to pair the name with varieties I grafted at the time.

Thanks.

Any suggestions?  Would pictures of the ripened fruit or cut fruit help?

Why picked green fruit? Stuff on the skin looks like the tree was covered with BP oil spill.

Blemished peels are the price we Floridians pay for all of our rain.

Taralay is a possibility.  I had a couple of trees, gave one away to a friend, and then a year or so later, the other died.  Got a scion from my friend and grafted it to my nurse tree to have the variety, with the intent of grafting it to a new seedling later.  I must have done that graft.

I will compare the leaves to see if they look and smell the same.

Got one possibility, please do keep the suggestions coming.

I have a Kesar in the yard and will do a comparison.  It is possible, but I am not so sure I would have wanted a second Kesar tree.  Thanks for the suggestion.
