The 'Earlygold' mango (or, 'Early Gold') is an early-season mango cultivar that originated in Pine Island, Florida.
The original tree was grown on the grove of Frank Adams in Pine Island, Florida. [1] For decades the parentage of the tree was unknown but a pedigree analysis indicated that Haden was the likely parent. [2] Scions were sent to the Sub-Tropical Research Station near Miami, Florida, and a grafted tree was planted there in 1942. A distinctive characteristic of the tree is its early fruiting season, which begins in May.
The fruit is oblong, averaging less than a pound in weight and having a small lateral beak. The flesh is dark yellow and fiberless, and is sweet and aromatic. Ripens from May to June.
The tree is a moderately vigorous grower.
The tangelo, Citrus × tangelo, is a citrus fruit hybrid of a Citrus reticulata variety, such as a mandarin orange or tangerine, and a Citrus maxima variety, such as a pomelo or grapefruit. The name is a portmanteau of 'tangerine' and 'pomelo'.
