Mango

Mangifera indica

Where to See It Trees in every yard and roadside, ripe May to July

When mango season comes in the early summer, the whole island feasts. Dozens of varieties hang heavy on the trees, from the tiny sweet starch mango to the great Julie, and every child knows precisely which tree on which lane is best. Sticky, golden and unforgettable, this is the taste of a Grenadian summer.
