Gouveia Mango

The Gouveia cultivar is named after a Mrs. Gouveia of Palolo Valley, Oahu. She planted a seed from the Pirie cultivar. The seedling tree produced good to excellent quality fruit (in fact the best quality compared to the other recommended cultivars). The Gouveia mango is sensitive to Anthracnose so should be planted in relatively dry areas. Its production is on the "light" side and bears fruit from July through August.
