Brooks (mango)

The original tree reportedly grew from a seed of the 'Totapuri' mango, which is also called 'Sandersha' (from Maharashtra, India) that was planted on the property of a Mr. Brooks in Miami, Florida in 1910.

[1] It was also a parent of several Florida mangoes, including Kent, Sensation, Hatcher and probably Keitt.

The flesh is yellow in color with medium fiber and has a mild, sweet flavor.

In Florida the fruit typically ripens from August to early October, making it a late-season cultivar there.

The trees tend to be of low vigor and do not get much over 20 feet in height and have an open canopy.
