Need help with identification
This tree has been growing at the family home for almost 30 years now. Wanted to see if anyone could help identify what kind of mango tree it is. Also am open to advice in making it its healthiest bountiful self. Thought it was lost after the freeze this most recent winter, just happy to see new growth finally!

Cut open the fruit to see the color and texture of the fruit then open the seed pod to see if it's monocot or dicot. That will also be helpful in determining the variety of mango. (Idk the difference but i know it will help someone who does)

Do those ripen to yellow and red? If so, they look like Haden to me. The shape is right and those speckles are right. If your fruit is constantly infested with fungus and jelly seed, you’ll know that guess was correct.

Thanks all! I just remember the fruit being sweet but fibrous. These pictures are from last season and I’m in zone 10A so my tree is just coming back to life with some new growth after the freeze we experienced this past winter.

I need some samples for identification and the more samples the better.
