Po Pyu Kalay (Lemon Meringue) Mango
The Po Pyu Kalay mango (commercially known as Lemon Meringue) is an exotic and highly sought-after Indo-Chinese type mango cultivar that originated in Myanmar (formerly Burma). It was introduced to Florida in 1995 and renamed to Lemon Meringue for its distinct dessert-like qualities. The tree features a vigorous, dense, and upright growth habit with dark green foliage, giving it a lush, tropical appearance. Its small-to-medium, elongated, ovoid fruit ripens to a golden-yellow and contains a fiberless, velvety-smooth, moist flesh. It is celebrated worldwide for its unique, intense aroma and a rich flavor profile that tastes remarkably like sweet lemon candy or citrusy lemon meringue pie.
