Van Dyke Mango

Van Dyke is a Florida-grown mango variety valued for its vibrant color, long shelf life, and firm, fiberless flesh. Popular in both home gardens and commercial production, it produces medium-sized fruit with a rich red blush over yellow skin. The flavor is sweet, with low acidity and a pleasant, mild tropical taste. Its excellent handling and shipping qualities have made it a favorite for export and fresh markets.
