Jehangir is a variety from India that was named after a Mughal Emperor. It is a medium-sized round shaped fruit that develops very little color, often green even at maturity, with a fiberless, medium firm flesh that is very light in color, almost white. The rich, complex flavor is resinous and spice-noted, with a good level of sweetness. It is somewhat similar to Imam Passand both in its flesh color and flavor. The seed is monoembryonic.
The tree has a very compact, slow-growth habit. We managed to get some fruit from it in Loxahatchee a few times but it is probably not a great choice for humid areas. Our first tree in West Palm Beach struggled and had to be replaced with a new one which has been growing since 2016. It began fruiting in 2019 and has performed fairly well during the years since.
The tree and fruit are somewhat prone to anthracnose and scab, but have been relatively resistant to bacterial black spot and rot. It is a mid-season mango for us ripening from late June through July.
