Step is a Hawaiian mango that received its unusual name after being discovered in an old orchard with wooden steps attached to its limbs. It is believed to be derived from Totapuri (also known as Sandersha or Bangalora), and the two share a strong visual resemblance. Step, however, is widely regarded as having superior eating quality compared to its presumed parent.
The fruit are medium to large, oblong in shape, and tend to remain green at maturity with only a subtle red blush. The flesh is firm, fiberless, and mildly sweet, falling into the Indian/West Indian flavor group. The overall profile is pleasant and approachable rather than intense. The seed is monoembryonic.
Trees grow slowly and develop a dense, spreading canopy. Once established, production is consistent. Despite its Totapuri background, Step has shown solid disease resistance in recent seasons, contributing to its quiet popularity among those familiar with it.
Step is a mid-to-late season mango in Florida, typically ripening from July into August, with a relatively short harvest window. Although still not widely planted, it is a variety that merits broader attention.
