The Nelson mango originates from Jamaica. It is a medium-sized, oval-kidney shaped fruit that ripens to an orange-green color. The flesh is orange, has a firm texture, and contains some fiber. The tree is known to grow rather slowly. An interesting characteristic of the Nelson mango is that its seed has a tendency to sprout inside the fruit if left on the tree too long while ripening.
