Abstract : Seven introduced mango varieties were observed for three years to select varieties with strong cold resistance, good quality and late maturity. The results showed that the grafted seedlings of these varieties started following and fruit-bearing 2-3 years after field planting and their average yield was 4.1-6.3 kg/plant, the adaptability performance was Hongxiangya > QR21/8 (CK) > Tainong 1 > Hongmang 6 > Jinsuimang > Jinhuangmang > Sijimang, and the yield performance was Hongxiangya > Hongmang 6 > Jinsuimang > Tainong 1 > QR21/8 (CK) > Jinhuangmang > Sijimang. Hongxiangya, Tainong 1, Hongmang 6, Jinsuimang and QR21/8 varieties can be popularized in the subtropical regions with below an elevation of 600 m, mean annual temperature ?19.5°C and annual effective accumulation temperature ?6 500°C.
