About Mango
Mango is a vigorous pawpaw cultivar with large fruit, smooth-textured flesh, and early ripening. Its name reflects the fruit's tropical flavor impression rather than a relationship to mango.
Growing Mango Pawpaw
Mango needs cross-pollination from a genetically distinct pawpaw cultivar. Keep the tree evenly watered while establishing and harvest in late summer when fruits become soft and aromatic.
