The ‘Sensation’ mango is a late-season cultivar that originated in South Florida, specifically in North Miami, and was commercially propagated starting in 1949. It is known for its distinctive appearance, featuring a vibrant dark plum-red skin that makes it easily recognizable. The flesh is typically light yellow, mildly sweet, and has fine fibers. This variety gained commercial popularity due to its attractive coloration and good eating quality.
**Interesting Fact:** The ‘Sensation’ mango is sometimes referred to as the ‘Strawberry Mango’ due to its reddish skin.
