The Tebow mango, also known as the ‘Young’ mango, is a relatively new cultivar that originated in South Florida. It is a hybrid of the Kent and Edward mango varieties, known for its rich, sweet, and slightly floral flavor. The fruit is typically medium to large, with green skin that develops a slight red blush as it ripens. Its flesh is notably fiberless, smooth, and a vibrant orange color. The Tebow mango is a late-season variety, ripening from July to August.
**Interesting Fact:** The Tebow mango was named after the American football player Tim Tebow, reflecting its Florida origins and popularity.
