• R2E2, a large highly coloured fruit that matures
a couple of weeks after KP. A selection of
Queensland Department of Primary Industries, it
was released in 1991.
• Nam Doc Mai, a Thai variety with elongated
fruit. It is often used in Australia as a hard green
fruit in Asian cooking. Fruit when ripe can exhibit
the jelly-seed disorder. There may be scope for
additional plantings of green-eating mango varieties
on account of the increasing Asian population in
Australia and interest in Asian cuisine.
• Keitt, Palmer and Brooks.
In recent years patented varieties (PVR) have been
released under different licensing arrangements that
include royalties paid per tree/graft, tree quotas in
growing areas and specific marketing controls on
domestic and export fruit.
Two PVR varieties, Calypso and HoneyGold, have
been planted in NSW. No cropping information is
available at this time. A number of South African
varieties are also being trialled in northern NSW.
