Pickering

The 'Pickering' mango is a dwarf variety often called a condo mango due to its suitability for container growing, making it ideal for those with limited space. It has a compact, bushy growth habit and can be maintained at just six feet tall. 'Pickering' originated as a seedling selected by
Walter Zill of Boynton Beach, FL, in the 1980s and is believed to be a cross between 'Carrie' and 'Irwin.' Named after Wayne Pickering , a loyal customer of Walter’s, this mango produces medium-sized, oblong-oval fruit that turn light yellow when ripe, with a soft pink blush and pink speckling on the skin. The flesh is yellow, very firm, and low in fiber, offering an exceptionally sweet flavor with coconut undertones. It ripens early in the season, typically from June to July.
