Early high-quality mango long been grown in Jamaica. Origin: India. Tree: tall and erect. Fruit: apple green with yellow-ochre blush at base and on some exposed parts, dots abundant with brown specks in the middle; ovate with beak almost missing, medium-sized, with tough, thick, nonadhering smooth skin, flesh cadmium-orange, firm and juicy with scant fiber just under the skin, very sweet with pleasant aroma, of very good quality; seed monoembryonic in a full, thick, medium-sized stone. Season early. A medium bearer. Introductions from Jamaica to Florida have not done well, and have fruited poorly. Bombay Yellow is said to be practically identical to Bombay Green but for a slight external color difference.
