My wife’s parents have many trees in the DR. Whatever the variety is that grows there. They’re in a very good place for growing things. They used to grow coffee and cacao possibly too I believe. In fact they still might have some.

There are literally hundreds, if not thousands of mango varieties. For the most part, what you buy in a store are the easiest to grow, not the tastiest. We have probably 6 or 7 different varieties, that give fruit different months of the year. Our first tree was a Tommy Atkins, which is the chazer you would buy in a store. We now have 3 trees fruiting, the Tommy, a Carrie (good) and a rare variety from Jamaica (really good).

As a teen growing up in Cape Coral...We had a Hayden...and a small (what I call) Apricot Mango (all yellow)....The Hayden's were HUGE....I had one of those poles with the basket, and metal prong claws at the end...to reach up high...because once they fell...you'd better get them quickly before the slugs and such got to them....My Mom was constantly making Fruit Salad w/ the Mangos (and other fruit) in the summer...we also had 2 pink grapefruit trees and a Kumquat bush....
