The trees are extremely vigorous growers with dense, spreading growth habit. They often struggle to flower in south east Florida, and are prone to disease, particularly powdery mildew. The fruit is however highly resistant to mango bacterial black spot diseas.
The fruit are small, round, and develop a light red/orange blush at maturity. The flesh is very rich and resinous, and completely fiber free, containing a monoembryonic seed. To us, Bombay is the quinissential standard of the Indian/West Indian flavor group of mangos.
A wonderfully flavored fruit, Bombay has been a spotty producer for us thus far due to poor flowering, so we are hopeful to get larger crops as the trees get older. We feel its a mango that may be worth trialing in southern California or Central Florida, where it should have less difficulty flowering.
They are a midseason fruit in West Palm Beach, typically ripening in Late June and July.
