White Piri is a mango from Hawaii, believed to be derived from the Indian Pirie (also known as Pairi or Paheri, and sometimes linked to Jamaican Bombay). While related, White Piri stands apart as a larger-fruited and more refined selection, and it has become one of the most widely planted mango varieties in Hawaii after Haden.
The fruit are medium-sized and round, somewhat reminiscent of Kent in shape. At maturity they turn yellow with attractive pastel red and orange blush. The flesh is yellow, medium-firm, and fiberless, with a monoembryonic seed. Flavor is the defining feature: rich, sweet, and deeply complex, with pronounced spice and resin notes strongly evocative of Bombay. The aroma is equally expressive, adding to its reputation as a high-quality dessert mango.
White Piri is often noted for its depth and complexity, offering a layered flavor profile that appeals strongly to enthusiasts of Indian and West Indian–style mangos.
Trees are moderate to slow growing, with a spreading, open canopy, and are generally less vigorous than standard Pairi/Bombay trees, while tending to flower at a younger age. Disease tolerance varies by climate: reports from Hawaii indicate poor anthracnose resistance, suggesting it is better suited to coastal or lower-humidity environments rather than humid interior regions. The fruit show good tolerance to bacterial black spot, though powdery mildew on flowers can be a limiting factor.
White Piri is a mid-season mango, typically ripening in July.
