It's about time someone posted about mangoes!!
I always try to schedule my Jamaican vacation around mango season. Hope I can make it this year!!
Isn't stringy and common mango the same?
I posted about a mango called Graham some time ago. (Not the one found in T&T).
I would think it's 'indigenous' to Westmoreland (in the Little London Delveland(sp?) and Negril area.
Only Badaz had an idea of the Graham mango i was talking about. Oh, TDowl should know about this cultivar too.
If i were to judge between East Indian and Graham, I would give Graham the edge. Fi reel!The only time TRUTH will hurt you...is if you ignore it long enough

Damn, man you have it right.
We wait so many stringy mango, I wonder if we know we could actually juice them and precure it(or whatever they do with it) and sell it. I can't see how that can't be profitable.- Don't let negative things break you, instead let it be your strength, your reason for growth.

Bingo, yes!
U spotted it! Hairy is another name.
The article have a few errors. St Catherine is a HUGE mango parish, as are Kgn and St Andrew.
4=16, one and the same, as Stringy=hairy=common mango.
At home we had Stringy, #11, St Julian, East Indian, Bombay and South African Graham. Most on one tree, due to grafting back in the 1960s. We had 3 trees in total. Next door at the fence line hanging over our property, we had Blacky.
In Portmore at my relatives, they had Hog mango (not sweet), Hayden, Turpentine, Beefy and Robin. At other relatives in Bog Walk, there were 1 and 2 others I dont recall.
By far my favourite is the Graham, as it very sweet and flavourful and HUGE!
Other fruit at home: Custard apple, Soursop, sweetsop, paganot (pomegranate), Acerola (WI cheey), Seville Oranges, Coconut, passionfruit, Paw-paw, limes, Jew plums, ackees, breshey (not really a fruit), tamerind, and plantain.
In Portmore, additionally we had sea grapes, soldier plums, guava, oranges and a grape tree that refused to bear! Bog walk had all kinds of citruses like "Stangareen" (lol) and Citroens, plus Jackfruit.
No otaheiti, guineps, Tinking toe, rose apples, lychees nor pineapples in my circles. Those we had to buy or get from pals in "Country".Comment

Islandman, I bought a box of 8 of those Haitian mangoes from the farmers market in my area. They are currently the best of all mangoes available in the US i think.
The unit cost/box is ~$9.00
Someone is making reasonable money from the mango trade from Haiti.
BTW: Ackee imported from Haiti is $5.50/ can. The GRACE counterpart is a whopping $10.00dallah (and don't you -----)The only time TRUTH will hurt you...is if you ignore it long enough
