This mango is from Hawaii, and we are not sure whether this is synonymous with 'Smith-Haden' or 'Smith-Wooten', which are distinct Hawaiian cultivars. It is however a different variety from the Florida "Smith" grown commercially in Bokeelia, Fl.
We planted our Hawaiian Smith in 2016 after obtaining a tree directly from Hawaii and it has flowered enthusiastically indicating precocity. The tree has been a very slow grower, almost dwarf-like.
The fruit has been small-to-medium sized, oval shaped developing beautiful crimon red blush. The flesh is orange, fiberless with a paper-thin seed. Smith's flavor is in the classic group and comparable to mangos like Bailey's Marvel, Maya and Ah Ping.
It appears to be an early or mid-season mango in south Florida.
Flavor: Classic
Country: Hawaii - USA
