Anderson (mango)
The 'Anderson' mango is a named mango cultivar that originated in south Florida. History The original tree was started from a ' Sandersha' mango seed sent from Jamaica in 1926 and was planted on the L. F Anderson's property in Miami, Florida. The tree fruited in 1931 and was named in 1948. A 2005 pedigree analysis estimated that 'Anderson' was a cross between the 'Sandersha' and ' Haden' cultivars. Anderson did not become a popular commercial variety due to the fruit's tendency to split while still on the tree. Its dooryard adaptation was limited as well, though it has been used to make chutneys. 'Anderson' trees are planted in the collections of the University of Florida's Tropical Research and Education Center in Homestead, Florida as well as the Miami-Dade Fruit and Spice Park, also in Homestead. Description The fruit is large in size, averaging over one pound in weight. Its shape is similar to 'Sandersha', being long and slender, containing a small lateral beak. The skin ...
