Origin | Florida, USA |
The 'Bailey's Marvel' mango is a named, mid-season mango cultivar that originated in southwest Florida.
History
The original tree was grown on Pine Island, Florida from a 'Haden' mango seed planted in the 1940s on the property of the Bailey brothers. A 2005 pedigree analysis estimated that Bailey's Marvel was likely a cross between Haden and Bombay.[1] The variety did not become a major commercial cultivar but did become a popular dooryard variety.
Bailey's Marvel trees are planted in the collections of the USDA's germplasm repository in Miami, Florida,[2] the University of Florida's Tropical Research and Education Center in Homestead, Florida,[3] and the Miami-Dade Fruit and Spice Park.[4] The original tree is still standing on Pine Island.
Description
The fruit is shaped very similar to its parent 'Haden' and has a similar flavor with fiberless flesh, averaging about a pound in weight and containing a monoembryonic seed. It ripens from July to mid-August in Florida, making it a mid-season cultivar there.[5]
The trees are moderately vigorous growers and have a reputation for being slightly more cold tolerant than other varieties.
