Have you tasted apple mango? No, it's not a crossbreed of the apple and mango, unlike peaple or papple (also apple-pear), hybrid of pear and apple, or the ampatola, a cross of ampalaya (bitter gourd) and patola (Luffa).*

Mango is one of the leading fruits in the world, it is ranked among melon, apple grapes, banana, oranges and pineapple. In tropical countries mango in season go to tremendous waste, where the tree grows in the wild, along highways and country roads, on the backyard.  Or simply, the fruits fall prematurely, or thinned out by untimely rain or strong wind. Overripe fruits pile up under the tree, bearing scars inflicted by fruit bat, or damage by fruit flies, the worst pest of many fruits and vegetables.        

Nobody knows exactly how many varieties and cultivars of mango there are in the world. In India alone, there are around 283 types of mangoes, out of which only 30 are well-known. In Florida, there are about 400 varieties of mangoes. The USDA collection is believed to have over 500 varieties of mango germplasm. 

The most common variety of mango in the Philippines is what Americans refer to as champagne mango. It’s been called Manila mango, Ataulfo mango (named after its Mexican grower) and Honey mango. Filipinos call it manggang kalabaw (carabao mango).

Half of the mango supply comes from backyard growers, defined as those who own five to 20 fruit-bearing trees. Top producers of mangoes are the provinces of Pangasinan (30%), Isabela (15%), Negros Occidental, Zamboanga del Norte, and Nueva Vizcaya.
