Graham is a mango cultivar that originated in Trinidad. It is known for its sweet flavor and smooth texture, making it a popular choice among mango enthusiasts.

History

The Graham mango was first cultivated in Trinidad in the early 20th century. It is believed to be a seedling of the Julie mango, another popular variety in the Caribbean. The cultivar was named after John Graham, who was instrumental in its development and propagation.

Description

The Graham mango is medium to large in size, typically weighing between 400 to 600 grams. The skin is greenish-yellow when ripe, often with a slight pink blush. The flesh is deep orange, fiberless, and very sweet, with a rich, aromatic flavor. The seed is monoembryonic, meaning it produces a single seedling.

Cultivation

Graham mango trees are moderately vigorous and can reach heights of up to 20 feet. They are well-suited to tropical and subtropical climates and are relatively resistant to common mango diseases. The trees typically bear fruit from June to August, with a peak in July.

Uses

The Graham mango is primarily consumed fresh due to its excellent eating quality. It can also be used in a variety of culinary applications, including smoothies, desserts, and salads. The fruit is often enjoyed on its own or with a sprinkle of salt and chili powder.
