Blackstone Mango

The Black Stone Mango, also known as Blackstone Mango, is a unique variety of mango (Mangifera indica) known for its dark violet or blackish-purple fruit skin when ripe. Unlike sweeter mango varieties, its flesh is mild in taste, less sweet, and high in fiber, making it ideal for salads and pickles, and suitable for diabetic diets due to its low sugar content. The tree is typically semi-dwarf, growing to 12-15 feet tall with a dense canopy of dark green, glossy leaves, and is well-suited for container gardening or smaller landscapes. Some sources claim the leaves are black or dark red, though customer reviews suggest this may not always be accurate, with some receiving plants with light green leaves instead.
