Sometimes just called "Dupuis", this was a seedling of Saigon selected by Dr. John Dupuis. It has also been called "Dr. Saigon" as well.
The trees are very vigorous, vertical growers with open canopy.
They are good producers of small-to-medium sized, oblong-shaped yellow fruit that develop limited pink or reddish blush. The flesh is fiberless with a delightfully sweet hybrid classic flavor with a touch of tropical acidity, making it popular among those who try it.
Dupuis Saigon is an early season mango ripening between May and June for us, and usually has a short season spanning a couple weeks. It is somewhat anthracnose prone and its performance in the interior suffers as a result, but the trees excel along the coastal zone here. It also appears to be very resistant to mango bacterial black spot.
Flavor: Classic
