SWEET ELENA

    

Sweet Elena as the best carabao mango strain for commercialization. It has an average fruit weight of 365-700 grams and sugar content of almost 19 percent Brix.

     The claim of several business enterprises and research institutions that grafted Sweet Elena (Mangifera Indica) seedlings are available from them. Is not true, according to pomologist Bernie Dizon. Dizon operates a botanic fruit garden where he is topworking some 1,000 Sweet Elena seedlings with other superior strains for pest-and-disease-free seedlings with superior fruiting quality.

     Sweet Elena owner Nida Malabed, said she had designated only Bernie Dizon as the exclusive propagator and distributor in Metro Manila of grafted Sweet Elena seedlings aside from the family nursery in Sabang, Sta. Cruz, Zambales.   Letter From Nida M. Malabed (owner of Sweet Elena Mango)
