These very old mamuang galon trees sound interesting! So I'll just bombard you with some questions.
Just wondering if this is a normal mango tree , an early model, or if it might be a different species.
Can you describe the shape of it...is it like a normal mango, does it have much of a beak (pointy end), how does the skin compare to normal mango..is it much different ..like a different mango variety, or is it really different?
Where abouts are you, what is the altitude there? Have you got any idea of what the name might mean? Do you know when its fruiting season is?
Thanks

Just a thought for Mr. Ford,
Around here we have this mango trees called " mamuang galon", older very large trees .
The fruit is about the size of a soap bar, the odd thing is, we eat them together with the skin.
It's deliciously sweet & sour. The skin has light vegetable flavor, blends nice with actual fruit.
You will be hard pressed to find it in any market unless some grandma needs pocket money.
We just wait for the fruit to fall down, than collect it & eat it.
Older people eat it with rice, no ill-effects whatsoever !
