Mango was a wild tree growing in Tifton, Georgia, and selected by Major C. Collins in 1970. KSU reports vigorous growth. Derek Morris says, "Fast growing and large tree, very productive with medium to mostly large fruits. Seed to flesh ratio is good. I note leaves slightly smaller than most others." Jerry Dedon says, "It was real good...but that rascal will deteriorate fast. And I mean it will get just like a water balloon." Reports from North Carolina indicated the same. However, these qualitites may give Mango an advantage in processing: "Because of the rather large size, fewer seeds than many, and ist softer flesh, it may be easier/quicker to pulp out," Morris reports. And some do reports that it tastes like mango and is one of the sweetest pawpaws. Early-mid ripening. Possibly the fastest growing tree, maybe only second to KSU Chapelle®
