Mango is the tropical fruit of the Mango Tree, which comes from Ginger Island like the Banana Tree. It is among the most valuable tree fruits, just behind the Banana and close to the Peach. The Mango is Leo's favourite, and he sends the recipe for Mango Sticky Rice once the friendship is strong enough. On the island, five Mangoes buy a decorative photo from the Island Trader, and a growing Lionfish pond asks for one. As a gift outside Leo's circle, it gets a mixed reaction.

The in-game description reads: A big, sweet tropical fruit with a unique flavor.

Growing

Mangoes grow on the Mango Tree. The Island Trader on Ginger Island swaps a Mango Sapling for seventy-five Mussels. Mussels wash up on beaches and also turn up in ocean Crab Pots. A Golden Coconut can also contain a Mango Sapling when cracked.

Like every fruit tree, it needs a clear square of ground around it and takes four weeks to mature. Planted on the farm in the valley, it fruits only in Summer. Planted on Ginger Island or in the Greenhouse, it fruits every day of the year.

A mature tree grows one Mango a day. The fruit can wait on the tree for up to three days. Its quality rises by one level for each year the tree has been mature, until it reaches iridium.

Prices

A raw Mango sells for a little less than a Peach or a Pomegranate, and well above an Apple or an Orange. A tree on the island fruits all year, so raw sales alone bring in a steady income.

Putting a Mango in a Keg makes Mango Wine after about a week, worth three times the fruit. Putting one in a Preserves Jar makes Mango Jelly in two to three days. Wine earns clearly more per Mango, while jelly frees the machine sooner. Ageing Mango Wine in a Cask can double its value at iridium quality.

Mango wine and jelly both gain forty percent from the Artisan profession.

The Dehydrator turns five Mangoes into one pack of Dried Fruit by the next day. It is a quick way to clear a stockpile, but it earns less than wine or jelly.

The quality of the fruit has no effect on the wine or jelly made from it.

Uses

Cooking a Mango with a Coconut and Rice makes Mango Sticky Rice. Leo mails the recipe once his friendship reaches seven hearts. The dish raises Defense by three for a few minutes.

The Island Trader takes five Mangoes for a 'Volcano' Photo. This trade appears only on Thursdays.

A Lionfish pond grows in steps. When it reaches five fish, the Lionfish ask for one Mango before the pond can hold more.

At the dye pots in Emily and Haley's house, a Mango counts as a yellow dye.

Cooking Mango with the other ingredients below makes these dishes.

Gifts

Leo loves Mangoes.

Elliott, Harvey, Leah and Shane all like Mango. Robin and Sandy like them too, and so do Demetrius, Jodi, Kent, Linus and Pam.

Alex, Caroline, Clint, the Dwarf, Emily, Evelyn, George, Gus, Krobus, Lewis, Marnie, Maru, Penny, Pierre, Sam, Sebastian, Willy and the Wizard are neutral.

Abigail, Haley, Jas and Vincent dislike them.

Mango Trees on Ginger Island fruit all year, so a loved gift for Leo is never out of season. His birthday falls on the twenty-sixth of Summer. A Mango on that day gives a much bigger friendship boost than usual.

The fruit of the valley's own trees is liked by almost everyone. The Mango falls outside that rule, so it is a poor general gift and a great one for Leo.

These villagers love receiving Mango as a gift.

Notes

Plant a Mango Tree on the island farm early. A steady supply of Mangoes speeds up Leo's friendship, which in turn brings the Mango Sticky Rice recipe.

Keep one Mango in a chest near the Fish Ponds when raising Lionfish. The pond's request then never holds up its growth.
