Duncan was observed to be a highly productive and disease resistant tree, producing medium sized clean yellow fruit with yellow flesh that has an Indochines/Philippine-type flavor with zero fiber, containing a monoemrbyonic seed. Due to these traits, David Sturrock patented the Duncan, making it one of the few Florida mangos in history to receive a patent.
Duncan trees are low vigour growers with spreading growth habit, and are very manageable. The fruit have a long season lasting from late June into early August, and the later fruit tend to be superior to the earlier maturing ones.
It has some of the best disease resistance of any mango cultivar we're aware of, displaying excellent resistance to all the major diseases impacting mango in south Florida, including the newer bacterial spot and rot diseases. It tends to fruit well even in marginal humid areas without any spraying.
We still harvest the original Duncan tree, along with about 15 others. In addition to being one of our most important mangos for fruit production, it also makes excellent rootstock.
Flavor: Indochinese Hybrid
Country: Florida-USA
