This mango is from Haiti where it is very common. In parts of Haiti it is also known as 'Jean Marie', but in northern Haiti there is a different variety called 'Corne' that is shaped differently from the one we have in south Florida. Our tree performs very well and is a highly consistent producer.
The fruit is yellow, oblong shaped and on the smaller side.Corne is classically flavored. Though it is quite sweet and rich, the flesh is very fibrous. The seed is polyembryonic.
Customers who don't mind the fiber seem to enjoy it. Its an early season mango ripening from June to July, often blooming twice and bearing multiple crops in Spring and Summer.
Corne's flowers and fruit are both very prone to anthracnose. However we have found this controllable and we consider the tree to be highly dependable for us. They are moderately vigorous trees with spreading, open canopy.
