The 'Bombay' mango is a named mango cultivar that originated in Jamaica.
Bombay was originally grown from a seed brought to Jamaica from India during the Indian indenture system in the 19th century. [1] The fruit became popular due to its widely accepted flavor, and Bombay was eventually introduced into the United States via south Florida, where it is now sold as nursery stock. A 2005 pedigree analysis of the Florida mango cultivars found that Bombay was a parent of several mangoes which originated in the state, including Bailey's Marvel, Jacquelin, and Zill. [2] All were estimated to have been Haden x Bombay crosses.
The fruit averages less than a pound at maturity and typically remains mostly green, with little red blush. The flesh is dark orange and completely fiber-less. It has a flavor described as being rich and spicy. It is known for having an easily removable seed.
The trees are vigorous in growth and form open canopies.
