Mangifera pajang, often called bambangan or wild Bornean mango, is a rare mango relative native to Borneo. The tree produces large, oval fruits with thick skin and a strong, complex aroma. When ripe, the flesh is deep orange, dense, and intensely flavored, combining sweet-tart notes with a rich, resinous character. Some who have tasted the fruit note a mild “funk” in the flavor, occasionally compared to the same funk as a durian.
The tree is vigorous and attractive, featuring large, leathery leaves and a robust growth habit typical of wild Mangifera species. A notable characteristic of this species is its very large seed, reflecting the overall size and structure of the fruit. Mangifera pajang is primarily grown by collectors interested in uncommon mango relatives and unique flavor profiles rarely found in cultivated mango varieties.
Seeds are sold in packs of one. They are shipped in humid vermiculite.
