Charles F. Springfels was a German immigrant to the United States who had established a jewelry manufacturing business in Buffalo, New York.

[1] At his property in West Palm Beach, Florida a mango seed was planted in 1919, and the tree first fruited in 1925.

The fruit were quite large, reaching several pounds in weight, had good eating qualities and shipped well, giving it potential as a commercial variety.

[5] The variety received some commercial plantings beginning in 1930, but did not gain widespread favor as new cultivars came into existence.

The skin is bumpy and coloration is similar to Haden, with yellow background and red blush.
