Contents

History

The original tree was grown on the property of Laurence Zill in Boynton Beach, Florida, and was reportedly a seedling of the Paheri mango. A 2005 pedigree analysis indicated that Jakarta was likely the result of a cross between the 'Bombay' and 'Kent' varieties. [1]

Jakarta did not gain widespread acceptance as a commercial mango, however it did find a market as a nursery stock and dooryard tree in Florida.

Jakarta trees are part of the collections of the USDA's National Germplasm Repository [2] in Miami, FL, and the Miami–Dade Fruit and Spice Park in Homestead, FL. [3]

Description

The fruit has a round to oblong shape, and develops a distinctive sunset orange–red color at maturity, averaging a little over a pound in weight. The flesh is yellow and fiberless, with a uniquely resinous but rich flavor and aroma, and contains a monoembryonic seed. The fruit mature from June to August in Florida.

Jakarta trees are vigorous growers and form dense, rounded canopies. [4]

Notes

This mango does not come from Jakarta.
