Mango Varieties & IdentificationWhat is the difference between identifying a mango species and identifying its cultivar?
A species name places the plant in a botanical group, while a cultivar name identifies a cultivated selection within that context. Recognizing the familiar mango species does not settle which selection a tree represents. Record these as separate questions when examining an unfamiliar plant. If even the species is uncertain, seek botanical identification before comparing fruit with cultivar photographs or attaching a popular mango name.
