Please ID these mango
« on: October 29, 2023, 12:05:44 PM »
Good morning all,

Yesterday my wife brought home these mango from her parents  backyard.  Her dad is the onwme grow and take the backyard but he has alzheimer now so no idea what they are.  Can anyone ID them? 

Thanks

Looks like VP.

How does the sap smell?

Thank you did your input.   I just broke the sterm, it has scent similar to mint  cough drop but not strong.  Hope I describe it right and it helps.

Eucalyptol/pine resin. There's a few mangoes from the American tropics which have a more intense pinene/ eucalyptol type resin. If it's super stringy start thinking East Indian, but honestly you can get a somewhat resiny sap smell from VP as well. Report back with ripe tasting results. VP is peachy dipping into coconut on the back end.
