The ‘Torbert’ mango is a named cultivar that originated in Goulds, Florida, during the 1940s. It was selected by Mr. and Mrs. Tommy Torbert, though its exact parentage remains unknown. An interesting fact about the ‘Torbert’ mango is that despite its South Florida origins, it was ‘re-introduced’ to the United States in 1981 from a ‘Torbert’ tree that had been planted in Honduras, highlighting its journey and re-discovery.
