KEITT

Ni embe yenye umbo la duara na yenye ganda la rangi nyekundu hafifu linapoiva. Inakadiriwa kufikia kilo moja na nusu inapokomaa. Kent ni embe yenye kuchelewa kuiva na kuvunwa. Hii hupelekea kwa mwenye shamba kutega mitego ya kupambana na wadudu waathirio sana matunda (fruit flies). Kutokana na kuchelewa kuiva na kuvunwa huwapatia wakulima faida ya kukamata soko wakati msimu wa embe nyingine umeisha. Kent inaweza kupandwa wakati wowote kama mkulima anaweza mwagilia wakati wote ila kama mkulima atategemea mvua inashauriwa kupanda wakati wa mvua za vuli au masika kabisa. Embe hizi zinaweza kutumika kutengenezea Juice, kula na ni embe ya kibiashara katika soko la ndani na nje. Kenti inakuwa kwa muda mfupi na kukadiriwa kukua na kutoa matunda kuanzia miaka 2 na nusu hadi 3.

ALPHONSO

Alphonso is the most exquisite variety of mango and is the best when it comes to flavor, appearance and richness. Though it has a very limited season from the end of March to May but it is still exported in bulk quantities. It is the most expensive variety of mango and harvested from May to July but depend on weather condition. Alphonso variety is so unique in itself that even by planting the seed of Alphonso, the tree that will be grown will not bear Alphonso variety but will be fruited by a different variety of mango. A completely different technique is acquired to grow Alphonso which makes it all the more costly and rare and thus the best of all types of mango.

APPLE MANGO

This mango variety is a bit odd if I may say so myself. First of all, the shape is entirely different from the original given that this variety does resemble an apple. Apple mangoes grow on 6 metre high trees. Each tree has a capacity to produce a yield up to 300 kg. Flowering on this tree takes place in June and fruits are harvested by November. The central seed is flattened and ovoid. On top of having a similar shape to that of an apple, the taste is also the next reason why this mango variety is named after it; this variety tastes very similar to an apple. The outside appearance of the exocarp also has colors similar to that of many apple varieties. Here, the colors range from red-orange on the ventral surface and dorsal surface merging into a dismal shade of yellow near the apex.
