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[edit | edit source]

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[edit | edit source]

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[edit | edit source]

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[edit | edit source]

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.
