Mango production in Florida

Florida is the largest producer of mangoes in the United States.

History

The first commercial mango orchard in Florida was planted in 1833.[1] Mango growing and breeding was a hobby of wealthy men in South Florida including Henry Ford and Thomas Edison.[2]

As a craft beer industry developed in Florida beers which included mango began to appear.[3] In 2021 Florida was the largest producer of mangoes in the United States.[4]

Season

In the Florida Keys mango season is May-July.[5]

Risks

Outside of South Florida frost is an issue with Central Florida providing marginal production with adequate protection.[6]

Variable weather can make the harvest unreliable.[7] South Florida has significant hurricane risk.[8]

Culture

The Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden in Coral Gables, Florida hosts the annual International Mango Festival.[9]

Key West holds an annual Mango Festival,[10] in the Keys a "mango fairy" is said to leave ripe mangoes for people.[5]

Breeding

Florida is home to a number of mango breeders. In the 21st century the University of Florida has used genetic profiling to improve the industry.[4]
