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.
- 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.

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.
