Yes, we also call this fruit mammee. Could not remember if the name include "apple". It is said that one should not consume any alcohol after eating this fruit because it can lead to death. Not so sure if anyone proved that to be wrong by doing so.

WONDERFULLY TASTY, BUT HAS TO BE FULL RIPE.. SOME PEOPLE IN THE CARIBBEAN PICK IT UNRIPE, ENCOUNTER AN AWFUL TEXTURE AND TASTE, THEN DEEM IT NO GOOD. WHEN FULLY RIPE, IT IS DELICIOUS... BUT IN GUYANA THE WARNING ALWAYS IS DO NOT USE ALCOHOL AFTER EATING MAMEE APPLE BECAUSE THE COMBINATION IS CONSIDERED POISONOUS. I NEVER PUT THAT TO THE TEST.

The mammee tree is also known in Suriname. The tree can grow very tall. The fruits grow on the trunk and on the branches. The fruits must be well ripe for the good taste.

Maumee Apple one of the sweetest fruits. Can it be grown from a seed?
Der3 years ago
Always heard about them but never had one until today. Hard, crunchy and delicious. Idk if it was as ripe as it should be though. If I can find another one then I'll keep it a bit longer and see how it goes. Mine had three or four big seeds.

In Nevis, we call them Mammy apple or manseport which someone told me means "mammy support" as they were a good source of nutrition when people often didn't have much to eat. In recent years, a disease sadly seems to have wiped out most of the trees on the island, they used to be very plentiful. A big effort to bring them back is needed.

In Antigua we call it mamee support/apple. Best eaten when ripe with crunchy texture. If you leave it longer it will not have that crunch and it will taste as if it's spoiled. 🇦🇬

This fruit is very nice. If you every goes to Nevis go to Gingerland/ Rawlin Village and ask anyone you see and you might be lucky to see the trees and the fruits. Very tasty especially when you are hungry. MANSE PORT.
