The Kent mango (Mangifera indica ‘Kent’) originated from a seedling of the Brooks mango in Florida in the 1930s. It has become widely cultivated in the Americas, Africa, and parts of Asia due to its excellent fruit quality and productivity.
The fruit is oval to round, large in size (typically 500–900 grams), with green skin that may develop a red or yellow blush as it ripens. The flesh is deep orange-yellow, juicy, and almost fiberless, offering a rich and sweet flavor with low acidity.
Kent mangoes are monoembryonic, so they must be propagated through grafting. The tree has a vigorous growth habit and produces fruit reliably each year. Harvest occurs during the late season—typically July to September in Florida and similar subtropical regions.
