The 'Ivory' mango, also called thejingu ivory, is amango cultivar fromChina.
Ivory is named for its resemblance to a young elephant's tusk due to its long, thin shape. It was first introduced intoYunnan, China fromThailand in 1914. The actual tree that was the first to be imported still grows, and during one year produced almost 500 kg of fruit.[1]
The fruit has thin, smooth skin. The flesh contains very few fibres, and constitutes approximately 82 percent of the fruit.
