Meaning
A grove or stand of mango trees, using the rural sense of 'walk' (a cultivated plot of one crop). Made famous by the folk song 'Mango Walk', in which someone is accused of raiding another's mango grove — 'yuh brother did-a rob, fi mi mango walk' — the phrase is bound up with the mischief of stealing mangoes in season.
