Introduction

The Haden mango doesn't just look great, its super sweet with a custard like texture and very few fibres. It's easy to understand why it dominated the mango industry for more than 25 years in the 1900's. 

History

In 1902 retired U.S. army officer, Captain John J. Haden planted four dozen seedlings of Mulgoba mangoes at his home in Coconut Grove, Florida. Sadly he passed away the following year, but his wife Florence continued to care for the trees, which first fruited in 1910. One tree, in particular, produced superior quality fruit, with brilliant colour and an excellent rich good flavour and was the selected cultivar to carry the family name.

The Haden became a big commercial success, in the 1900's which led to it being cultivated in other locations with great success, such as Brazil, Honduras, Hawaii and Australia.
