ClapOnKyle starts with ... My great-grandpa was a farmer who developed the Hatcher mango in the 40s. I've always grown up having mangoes three or four times the average size of a mango, and was wondering what varieties of giant mangoes you enjoy over in Australia. Preferably some pictures!

Jason says... R2E2 is the largest commercial variety in Australia that's for sure, It's bigger than Hatcher. The States hardly grow any mangos or have any land suitable to grow them compared to Australia so comparing mango industries or varieties isn't very fair :), but fun!. Kensington pride is the most common mango here and it weighs about 1 pound, that's a "normal" mango here we don't really have any in the shops much smaller than that, R2E2 can get up to 2 pounds and a bit. Since India is the home base for mangos everything is bigger and better there than anywhere else :) | About the Author Jason Portland 14th February 2011 3:06am #UserID: 637 Posts: 1217 View All Jason's Edible Fruit Trees |

Brad says... My dad-in-law is from Goa and knows there is a malcorado (aka mankurad) mango which is being grown in Perth. One of these years I'll have to go to india and check all these varieties out properly. It would be fruiting now, so I'll try to get my hands on some (fruit and seed) I'm presuming the malgova (the web says its about 1.2kg - x2.2 for pounds), mulgoba or malgoa are the same fruit? google can be fun. wiki of varieties by country and here's a few varieties by size (from Hawaii) 
and a possible world record 3.5kg mango from a Keitt ??? in the Philippines

Wayne says... http://www.dpi.qld.gov.au/26_18864.htm Hello ClapOnKyle, peruse this site and you will find some pictures, you will also find that most of our common Mango varieties originate from Florida Kensington Pride certainly did originate from India and India is the Mango growing nation but Florida has had a big influence on what we eat here. | About the Author Wayne Mackay QLD 16th February 2011 5:46pm #UserID: 338 Posts: 908 View All Wayne's Edible Fruit Trees |
