Carabao


Carabao Carabao Mango Trees have a vigorous & upright growth habit. As a result, Carabao can realistically be kept between 20 – 25 feet tall, even with annual pruning. Carabao’s fruit production consistently ranges from good to heavy. However, the trees are not particularly precocious and can take upwards of several years before they will have consistent and reliable production. Like other Indochinese mango varieties, Carabao typically produces fruit clusters on a single branch. To encourage larger individual fruits and reduce the risk of fruit abrasions caused by friction among them, one can thin the fruit on the individual branches early in the season.

The Carabao Mango has its origins in the Philippines, where it plays a significant role in the country’s exports. In fact, the mango holds the distinction of being the official national fruit of the Philippines.

Furthermore, the name ‘Carabao’ derives from the water buffalo of the same name, a native species to the Philippines. Interestingly, the Carabao is also the country’s official national animal. To be honest, I can’t help but imagine a Carabao Buffalo enjoying a Carabao Mango.

As mentioned earlier, there are various sub-varieties of Carabao Mangos. However, if you’re seeking the sweetest of the sweet, look no further than the Sweet Elena cultivar.

Finally, one of the most famous mango seedlings derived from the Carabao variety is the Ataulfo Mango.
