Van Dyke (mango)

The Van Dyke is a commercially grown mango cultivar originating in Florida, USA. It is characterized by its vibrant red blush over a yellow background, its oblong shape, and its fiberless, sweet flesh. Van Dyke mangoes are typically of medium size, weighing between 1 and 2 pounds.

The fruit ripens from June to August in Florida. It is a popular choice for home growing and commercial production due to its good flavor, attractive appearance, and disease resistance, particularly to anthracnose.

The Van Dyke mango was reportedly developed from a seed of the Haden mango. It was named after a grower in Miami, Florida, where it was first propagated. While it never achieved the level of widespread commercial success of some other varieties, it remains a significant cultivar, especially in Florida and select export markets.
