The Black Stone Mango Plant is a rare and highly sought-after exotic mango variety. It is particularly famous for its striking dark purple-to-black skin and its intensely sweet, fiberless flesh.

Key Characteristics & Fruit Profiles Unique

AESTHETICS: The plant is exceptionally easy to identify because its stems and leaves have a distinct dark, blackish tint. The fruit transitions from deep green to a dark purple-black color as it ripens.

FRUIT TASTE & TEXTURE: The flesh is deep orange/yellow, exceptionally sweet, juicy, and aromatic with virtually no fiber. It features a unique flavour profile with a subtle hint of spiciness.Growth Habit: It functions as a semi-dwarf tree. Grafted varieties typically reach a height of 12 to 15 feet with an 8 to 10-foot spread if planted in the ground.
