Conteúdo: | 'Lancetilla' mango originated near Tela, Honduras and was listed in a 1956 accession list for the Lancetilla Experiment Station. The name 'King George' was also given to this mango within Honduras, and early accessions in cultivar collections often have this name. It first attracted favorable attention due to the unusually large size of its fruit. Grafted trees planted in various locations in Honduras proved to grow well and to produce consistent, heavy crops of fruit. Trees with a heavy crop produce fruit of 1 to 1.5 kg, while fruit on trees with a lighter crop often exceed 2.5 kg. The fruit is attractive, with a yellow background color and a light to deep red blush on the surface exposed to the sun. Fruit that develop in the full sun have nearly 100% red color. The flesh is completely fiberless, orange, and has a sweet, mild flavor. Tolerance to anthracnose and powdery midew is good under South Florida conditions. It ripens in the middle season to the early late season in South Florida. The tree itself has a leggy growth pattern, but with careful pruning it can be maintained at a small, productive height of 4 m. Although the fruit may be  considered too large for large-scale commercial marketing, it definitely has potential in specialty markets and in home gardens.
