Despite its highly impressive famiy lineage of Mulgoba, Sandersha and Haden mangoes, Anderson still remains a little known Florida Mango.

Check out the Family Tree I created for Anderson mango based on data from USDA's CERVUS Parentage Analysis.


Mango #251: ANDERSON

It is amazing how many different mango there are!

USDA/ARS/Mango Accession = Plant Introduction (PI) #88126

This accession was donated to USDA on 09-May-1930 in Cienfuegos, Cuba by
Mr. T.A. Fennell
Harvard Botanic Garden

Mango #249: CHINO

In the mid 1970's before I moved to the "South Beaches" I owned 1.5 acres with a small very old house in "The Redlands". My northern property line was the south fence of the Fruit and Spice Park. It is also where I crafted my surfboards. My property was sort of an averflow from the park. I grew mangoes, advocadoes, sapodillas, leechees, oranges, tangerines and other assorted tropical delights.

Hurricane Andrew destroyed it all.     Surfly

Thank you for the memories.

Yes, I faintly remember from my 1st trip in 1988.

On my November 1992 visit to see the Hurricane damage, Director Chris Rollins took
me around to inspect the widespread ransacking. I remember very well of standing on the south fence of the park right across from a badly wrecked house and discussing the plight and the prospective future of the park and the parks' neighbors.

Note the elongated shape of this mango, that is typical of the south-east Asian polyembryonic cultivars.

That is because it is the result of a cross between a Haden and a Carabao from the Philippines, developed by Edward Simmonds, the Director of the Plant Introduction Station of USDA in Miami in 1902.

Mango #255: MANILITA

Mango #257: LEMON SAIGON

Mango #259: HONG SA

This is one of many cultivars that Richard Campbell, working as a Scientist for
Fairchild Garden, had donated to USDA.

This one with USDA Accession Number MIA-36668, was donated in March 2003.

One tree is in the Fairchild Farm (Homestead), one in the SHRS in Chapman Field (Miami) and the 3rd one in the Fruit & Spice Park (Homestead).

My uneducated guess is this Malindi mango is from Kenya in East Africa.


Mango #261: MALINDI

Malindi has the shape of a kent.

Yes, it does.

Almost unknown, this is an Egyptian variety.
