Sturrock was selected by David Sturrock in West Palm Beach, FL in the 1960s. It was a cross between the Haden and Duncan, which Sturrock hoped would have the production of Duncan but the color of Haden.
The fruit are oval to round in shape, turning a pale yellow color at maturity with limited pink blush. The flesh is firm, fiberless, and yellow in color, containing a monoembryonic seed. The flavor is in the classic group and has developed a minor following among our customers.
The trees are somewhat vertical growers and moderately vigorous. They have been very heavy producers. The fruit are highly resistant to anthracnose and also appear to be *highly* resistant to rot and bacterial spot as well. Sturrock is an early season mango ripening from June to July.
