Valencia Pride Mango

✓ Verified

Florida, USA (1940s)

Valencia Pride was developed in Florida in the 1940s and became one of the state's standout home-garden and limited-commercial mango varieties, later honored as a "Curator's Choice" selection by the Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden's International Mango Festival — a recognition reflecting its lasting reputation among Florida mango enthusiasts even as broader commercial mango production shifted increasingly to Latin America.
