This is what their website says about the Chino Mango
Chino is a large, round colorful mango from Cienfuegos, Cuba. It is a very old variety, having been described in literature around the dawn of the 20th Century.
We planted one in 2015 and it fruited in 2018.
Despite being reputed to be a fibrous, mediocre mango we found that the fiber was minimal and the flavor quite rich and sweet, belonging in the classic group and comparable to Bailey's Marvel and Maya. The yellow flesh contains a polyembryonic seed. On the downside, Its shelf life isn't very long and it can go overripe somewhat quickly.
The tree initially did not bear well relative to its size; it would flower reasonably well but fail to hold onto its fruit to such a poor degree that it has only carried one fruit to maturity each of its first two seasons producing. Since then it has started to bear larger, more complete crops and appears it will be a steady producer going forward.
The tree's growth habit is vigorous, spreading with a dense canopy.
We regard Chino as the best of the Cuban mangos and one of the finest members of the classic flavor group, standing up well with comparable varieties like Bailey's Marvel, Ah Ping, Spirit of 76, and Maya.

If you have a yard and you are growing fruit trees I'd love to come and film. Especially if you are in the South Florida area. You can contact me at paul@rawlife.com please include the area you are in.
