Mango FAQ

1 FAQ

Seeds, Rootstocks & BreedingCan two mango parents with similar sweetness produce a wide range of offspring sugar and acid profiles?

Yes. Studies of mango hybrid populations find variation in individual sugars and organic acids, with relationships that are more complex than a simple average of parental taste. Evaluate the offspring's own fruit at comparable stages. Use parental measurements to guide a cross, but retain analytical and sensory assessment rather than predicting the whole family's flavor from the parents alone.
