I was replacing my dwarf June plum and I made an impulse purchase of a Maprang (Mango Plum) Never heard of one before. I assume I will be able to bring it into the basement over winter. I don’t even know if it will fruit in a pot. Supposed to taste like a Mango, with the texture of a plum. Seeds supposed to be edible also,
They could be in a mango family but I tell you about the taste and texture of Maprang. I grew up eating mangoes and Maprang. I never once thought they remind me of each other.
I would be surprised if you could grow Maprang in zone 7. Maprang definitely reminds me of Japanese plums.
I don’t know if I ever eaten a true Sapote. I tried white Sapotes.
Maprang can cause itchy throat. Its nicer cousin Mayong-chid does not. These days in Thailand, Maprang becomes quite obscured. Mayong-chid is bigger, sweeter, tastier and far more popular.
