Mangifera 'Graham' | |
---|---|
Genus | Mangifera |
Species | Mangifera indica |
Cultivar | 'Graham' |
Origin | Trinidad from 'Julie' seed. |
The 'Graham' mango is a named mango cultivar which originated in Trinidad.
Graham was a seedling of the Julie mango planted in Trinidad. [1] In 1932 the variety was introduced to the United States by the USDA through Florida.
Graham has become a popular nursery stock tree in Florida for home growing due to its fine flavor and good disease resistance. It was selected as a curator's choice mango for Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden's 2008 mango festival. [2] The fruit is also popular in the Windward Islands.
Graham trees are now planted in the USDA's germplasm repository in Miami, Florida., [3] the University of Florida's Tropical Research and Education Center in Homestead, Florida, [4] and the Miami-Dade Fruit and Spice Park, [5] also in Homestead.
The fruit is of oval shape, with a rounded apex that sometimes contains a small lateral beak. The skin is yellow at maturity, and is bumpy and undulating. The flesh is orange, fiberless, and has a rich and aromatic flavor with a resinous note. [6] The fruit contains a monoembryonic seed, and typically matures from June to August in Florida. [7]
Unlike its parent 'Julie', Graham is a vigorous grower that reaches over 20 feet in height and forms a round, dense canopy.
