Torbert (mango)

The original tree was grown from a seed planted on the property of Tommy Torbert in Goulds, Florida during the 1940s.

Graftwood was given to the University of Miami's Experimental Farm in Perrine, Florida as well as to individuals in the area, and several trees were planted in home gardens around Miami-Dade County.

However, Torbert was not propagated either as nursery stock or for commercial use, and despite having received some attention and published description, it was largely forgotten.

Torbert trees are now planted in the collections of the USDA's germplasm repository in Miami, Florida,[3] and the Miami-Dade Fruit and Spice Park in Homestead.

It has a mildly sweet flavor and light aroma,[5] and contains a polyembryonic seed, an unusual trait for a mango descended from the Haden line.
