Its ripened skin remains speckle-free, enhancing its visual appeal. [5] The mango variety is fleshy and juicy with high fiber content. Notably, local vendors ripen the mangoes without using chemicals or preservatives, instead relying on traditional methods using hay and leaves of the Strychnos nux-vomica (Kaanjiram) tree.

It has a mildly sweet flavor and light aroma, [5] and contains a polyembryonic seed, an unusual trait for a mango descended from the Haden line. The fruit typically ripen from June to July in Florida. Production is considered good and consistent. The tree is a moderately vigorous grower, but tends to stay small to medium-sized.
Climacteric fruits ripen after harvesting and so some fruits for market are picked green (e.g. bananas and tomatoes). Underripe fruits are also fibrous, not as juicy, and have tougher outer flesh than ripe fruits (see Mouth feel). Eating unripe fruit can lead to stomachache or stomach cramps, and ripeness affects the palatability of fruit.
Mango trees grow to 30–40 metres (98–131 feet) tall, with a crown radius of 10–15 m (33–49 ft). The trees are long-lived, as some specimens still fruit after 300 years. [12] In deep soil, the taproot descends to a depth of 6 m (20 ft), with profuse, wide-spreading feeder roots and anchor roots penetrating deeply into the soil. [4]
It contains a monoembryonic seed. In Florida, the fruit typically ripen from June to July. [8] The tree is famous for its small dwarfing growth habit. Julie trees are very slow growing and in South Florida is able to maintain a height around 10 feet without pruning. In the Caribbean, however, there are Julie mango trees that are over 30 feet tall.
Alampur Beneshan stays green even on ripening - the yellowing one on the right is probably slightly over-ripe. Note the small white pores distributed all over the skin of both mangoes, which is a characteristic of this cultivar. Cut Alampur Beneshan mango. This strain shows a golden-yellow interior, common in the southern Indian strains.
The 'Chok Anan' mango, sometimes spelled Chocanon, (Thai: โชคอนันต์, pronounced [t͡ɕʰôːk ʔā.nān]) is a sweet mango from Thailand, India, Bangladesh and Pakistan. [1] It has an oval shape and tapered tips. The ripe fruit and flesh are light yellow and have a sweet taste. Chok Anan is also called a "honey mango".
The tree is relatively small and produces a compact, rounded canopy. Trees can grow up to 30 feet tall but are often kept well under this height by regular pruning. They will generally begin producing fruit 3 to 4 years after planting, and thereafter will produce medium-to-large sized crops regularly.
