List of mango cultivars
Alene i Indien findes der efter sigende 283 mangotyper, hvoraf kun 30 er velkendte. USA's landbrugsministerium (USDA) på Old Cutler Road i Coral Gables, Florida, har omkring 400 mangosorter og er et af de største depotrum for mangoplantekulturer i verden. Oprindeligt troede man, at USDA's samling havde over 500 mango-sorter, men genetiske undersøgelser viste, at der var flere dubletter. I USA er Sydflorida et af mangoernes mekkaer på grund af det tempererede klima året rundt og en kultur, der er fascineret af mangoerne, og flere planteskoler, der har til formål at bringe nye mangosorter ind i USA ved enten import eller selektiv avl. Anmeldelser af ældre mangosorter var baseret på den konkurrence, der var til rådighed på det pågældende tidspunkt. De fleste af de mangosorter, der fås i dagligvarebutikker i USA, kan spore deres oprindelse til Haden-mangotræet, et træ, der blev plantet af Jack Haden i 1902 i Coral Gables, Florida (Haden selv kan spores tilbage til Malgova, der i USA staves forkert Malgoba og har sin oprindelse i Tamil Nadu, Indien). Zill-familien har skabt en række nye mangosorter, senest Gary Zill med Zill's High Performance, et selektivt avlsprogram for nye sorter. Følgende er blandt de mest udbredte mangosorter, anført efter det land, hvor de blev udvalgt eller er mest dyrket:

List of mango cultivars
Reportedly, in India alone, there are around 283 types of mangoes, out of which only 30 are well-known. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) facility on Old Cutler Road in Coral Gables, Florida, has about 400 varieties of mangoes and is one of the largest depositories of mango plant cultures in the world. The USDA collection was originally believed to have over 500 varieties of mango germplasm, but genetic testing showed several duplicates. In the United States, South Florida is one of the meccas for mangoes due to year-round temperate climate and culture fascinated by mangoes and several nurseries dedicated to bringing new varieties of mangoes into the US by either import or selective breeding. Reviews of older varieties of mangoes were based upon the competition available at the time. Most of the varieties of mangoes available in grocery stores in the United States can trace their lineage to the Haden mango tree, a tree planted by Jack Haden in 1902 in Coral Gables, Florida (Haden itself can be traced back to Malgova which is mis-spelled Malgoba in US and has its origin in Tamil Nadu, India). The Zills family has created a number of new varieties of mango, most recently, Gary Zill with Zill's High Performance a selective breeding program of new varieties. The following are among the more widely grown mango cultivars, listed by the country in which they were selected or are most extensively cultivated:
