Just look at the size of those fruit! 

Lancetilla is renowned for producing some of the largest mango fruit, with specimens occasionally reaching up to 5 pounds, though typical fruit weigh 3–4 pounds at maturity. It was originally selected in Lancetilla, Honduras, and later introduced to the U.S. by Carl and Richard Campbell. Based on its shape, color, and flavor, it may have lineage linked to Totapuri or Sandersha.

The fruit are ovoid-oblong, green-yellow with light red blush at maturity. The flesh is firm, fiberless, and has an Indian/West Indian flavor profile with a subtle resin note. The fruit can be prone to splitting while on the tree, and the breaks in the skin make them susceptible to rotting fungi. Young fruit are also frequently dropped, more so than with many other varieties.

Trees are vigorous growers requiring significant pruning for size management. Due to its size, vigor, and production habits, Lancetilla is generally better suited as a collector’s variety rather than for small-space cultivation. The fruit ripen from July to August.
