Description
Mamey is the national fruit of Cuba, this is a vigorous tree that produces large 20 to 30oz Mamey fruit which ripens April to October depending on the variety. The brown sand shape outer skin fruit has a rich flavor, and texture of sweet potato pudding and it is best served as a milkshake.
Mamey fruit can be difficult to tell when the fruit is mature and ready to pick, because they do not have a color break like mangos, and they will still be rock hard. The best way to tell if the fruit is ready to pick is to scratch the surface. If it is green underneath, then it needs more time. If the fruit is pink where scratched, then it is ready to pick. They typically take four to five days to ripen once picked, and at this stage they are soft to the touch.
With proper care and maintenance, Mamey tree is able to endure and can offer an abundant bounty of fruit each year.
