The ‘White Piri’ mango originated in Hawaii, likely derived from the ‘Piri’ mango. It was first planted approximately 100 years ago in Hawaii. The ‘White Piri’ mango is an older variety known for its small size and syrupy sweetness. It is primarily grown in Hawaii and is also cultivated in coastal areas of Florida. The tree grows slowly and vigorously, but it is not very disease resistant. It tends to bear fruit in alternate years. Despite its small size, the ‘White Piri’ mango is prized for its intense syrupy sweetness, making it a flavorful treasure.
