The fruits are medium to large, nearly round in shape and have a rich yellow/orange to red colour when ripe. Average length measures 9.7 cm by 11 cm in width, and the weight is 280-580 g (mean: 397 g). Normally, if not diseased,the skin is smooth and thin, and the juicy yellow flesh is of excellent flavour and of melting texture virtually free from fibre. This is not a polyembryonic cultivar and trees propagated by seed are very heterogeneous in fruit shape,colour and quality (Griesbach, 2003). The beak is blunt and rounded at times. It is susceptible to anthracnose, powdery mildew, gall fly and fruit fly. The colour is sometimes masked by rust unless it is sprayed at the initial stages.Variety Apple mango is highly marketable both locally and externally.
