evergreen mango

My wife savoring a very luscious evergreen mango from Tangub City, Misamis Occidental

evergreen mango - /e-ber-gren mang-go/ (Misamisnon [Tangub City, Misamis occidental] fruit) [n.] a variety of mango fruit that still has shades of green when ripe.

Other local name: 

• a.k.a. mangga Tangub in Cebuano and other vernaculars of Mindanao

The fruit is forever green even when ripe, though shades and spots of yellow would appear when the fruit is very ripe or overripe. 

A slice of lusciously sweet mangga Tangub. When yellow patches appear big allover the skin would mean that the mango fruit is already overripe.

The trees of the evergreen mango variety can be found growing well and bear lusciously sweet fruits in the farmlands of Tangub City, Misamis Occidental (a province of the northwestern side of mainland Mindanao). There were attempts to grow this mango in other provinces of Mindanao but the trees were not producing such very sweet and luscious fruits of Tangub City.

A basket of very ripe evergreen mango in the public market of Tangub City. Those that are already yellow allover are actually overripe.
