Regarded as the “king of mangos” in its native South India, Alphonso is arguably the most renowned Indian mango worldwide. While it commands high respect and demand in India, Alphonso has a mixed record in Florida due to challenges with our local climate. Despite this, our Alphonso trees have shown promising performance.

Early growth and fruiting presented some challenges, but over time the tree’s fruit quality has become impressive. The mangoes have bright yellow flesh, medium firmness, and very little fiber, enclosing a monoembryonic seed. Its flavor is complex, combining rich spice notes with a subtle subacid balance that makes it highly sought after by enthusiasts.

In Florida, Alphonso trees are prone to certain diseases, particularly on flowers and developing fruit. Anthracnose and powdery mildew can affect production, although bacterial black spot appears less of a concern. In California, powdery mildew is the primary issue, and fruit set can also be reduced by cold temperatures, which increase the proportion of staminate (male) flowers.

Alphonso trees are vigorous growers, forming dense, spreading canopies. In Florida, fruit typically ripens from late June to July. For those seeking a similar flavor profile with potentially greater adaptability in Florida, alternatives include Bennett Alphonso, Angie, Arka Neelkiran, Kesar, Mesk, Juliette, Itamaraca, and Carrie.
