Product Name: Red Ivory Mango (Hong Xiangya Mango)
Description:
Red Ivory Mango, botanically classified as Mangifera indica L. 'Red Ivory', is a premium mid-season mango variety selected by the Guangxi Agricultural College in the early 1980s from the open-pollinated progeny of "Ivory 26" . It is named for its ivory-shaped fruit with a distinctive pink-to-crimson blush on the sun-exposed side, and has become one of the primary commercial varieties in the Youjiang River Valley of Baise, Guangxi, as well as in Panzhihua (Sichuan), Yuanjiang (Yunnan), and the western coast of the Leizhou Peninsula .
A Mango That Looks Like an Ivory Tusk:
The defining feature of Red Ivory Mango is its elongated, ivory-shaped fruit with slightly curved stem and tip ends, giving it an elegant, recognizable silhouette . The skin is light green with a striking pink-to-red blush on the sun-facing side, turning pale yellow to yellow when fully ripe. It is worth noting that not every fruit develops the red coloration — only those exposed to prolonged direct sunlight achieve the full blush .
Appearance & Flavor:
The fruit is large, with normal fruit weighing 400–700 grams and premium specimens exceeding 1,000 grams . Inside, the flesh is yellow, with short fibers and moderate juice. Soluble solids content ranges from 15% to 18.5% Brix, with an edible rate of 75%–80% . The flavor is described as mild and slightly dilute, placing it in the medium-quality category — best suited for fresh consumption and processing .
Key Commercial Advantages:
Distinctive Ivory Shape & Red Blush – Visually striking and highly recognizable
Extra-Large Fruit – 400–700g average, up to 1,000g+
High Yield & Stable Production – 53.8 kg per tree and 1,775 kg per mu at full production, with no biennial bearing
Drought Tolerant – Thrives in poor, dry soils where other varieties struggle
Early Fruiting – Begins production in the third year after grafting
Good Storage Tolerance – Firmer than many mid-season varieties, suitable for fresh market distribution
Important Notes for Growers:
Disease Susceptibility: Red Ivory Mango is susceptible to anthracnose and bacterial black spot . Preventive measures include Bacillus subtilis and Zhongshengmycin for bacterial black spot, and chitosan sprays to strengthen plant resistance against anthracnose. Avoid prochloraz-based fungicides .
Vigorous Growth: The tree is strong and densely branched, requiring careful canopy management to prevent disease and improve fruit set. Increased potassium application is recommended in rainy regions to control excessive vigor .
Flavor Consideration: While productive and visually appealing, the flavor is mild and less intense compared to premium varieties like Guiqi or Jinhuang. Position it as a value-oriented fresh market and processing variety rather than a premium dessert mango
