Origin | Florida, US |
The 'Parvin' mango is a named commercial mango cultivar that originated in Southwest Florida.
The original tree was reportedly grown from a Haden mango seed, [1] and was planted in 1940 on the property of Clint Fisk Parvin in Bradenton, Florida. [2] During the 1940s Parvin was submitted for evaluation to the Variety Committee of the Florida Mango Forum, which gave it a positive recommendation. Characteristics such as color, production and handling characteristics (due to its thick skin), and flavor made Parvin a potential commercial cultivar. While Parvin only saw limited commercial plantings in Florida, it is grown on a commercial basis in Puerto Rico.
The fruit are oval to oblong in shape and have a rounded apex, lacking a beak. The skin is thick and the color is yellow with red or crimson blush covering much of it at maturity. The fruit average a little over a pound in weight, and typically ripen from July to August in Florida. [3] The flesh is fiberless and has a deep orange color with a sweet flavor, and contains a monoembryonic seed. Parvin is known for producing many small, seedless fruit often referred to as "nubbins".
The trees are vigorous growers that will develop rounded and spreading, dense canopies. [4]
