Long Trinidad Mango Tree – Mangifera indica Live Seedling | 8–10 Inches Tall | Rare Caribbean Variety Polyembryonic | Citrus-Forward Flavor | Cultural Heirloom

Grow a rare and culturally treasured mango with this Long Trinidad Mango seedling, approximately 8–10 inches tall and grown from last season’s fruit. This exclusive Caribbean variety is highly valued in Trinidad & Tobago for its versatility and bold, citrus-forward flavor.

The “Long Mango” is known for its elongated shape and fibrous flesh. While not typically used for slicing, it excels in traditional dishes such as curry mango (talkari), chow, chutney, and fresh juice. The flavor is uniquely bright—often described as a sweet tangerine-mango blend with no sourness.

This variety is polyembryonic, meaning it grows true to seed, making seedlings a reliable way to preserve its authentic characteristics. This particular seed line traces back to heritage trees cultivated for generations on the island.
