The Valencia Pride mango is a popular backyard variety that is easy to grow and can provide excellent shade. It is a classic Florida mango variety that originated as a Haden seedling planted in Miami, FL in 1937. The fruit of Valencia Pride is large and wide, oblong-sigmoid shaped, with yellow background color and pinkish blush covering much of the fruit well before maturity. The flesh is firm, light yellow, with only scanty fiber, and contains a monoembryonic seed. The flavor is of the classic sort, medium sweet with light stone fruit and honey character. The sweetness can vary considerably year to year on Valencia Pride.
