Glenn

Glenn is a natural selection mango variety originating from Miami, Florida, USA — found in the orchard of Roscoe Glenn in the 1940s as a seedling of Saigon, later established in 2005 to be a cross between Haden and Saigon. Super-early, completely fibreless, and intensely aromatic — once cut, the fragrant aroma of a Glenn mango can be smelled from quite a distance. Buttery smooth pulp with pleasant tropical flavours and sweetness at TSS 23 brix. Average weight 350–400 grams, often developing a red blush on sun exposure. Excellent resistance to anthracnose, bacterial black spot, and rot diseases. As of 2026, Glenn is the only good mango variety averaging more than 300 grams that ripens in April in West Bengal, India — when markets across West Bengal and neighbouring states still have no comparable mangoes available. This gives Glenn exceptional commercial pricing potential. Tree-ripened shelf life is 4–5 days, extendable to 7–8 days with 80% ripe harvest and hot water treatment — adequate for the domestic market. Highly suitable for high-density and ultra-high-density commercial plantations, orchards, terrace gardens, kitchen gardens, rooftop gardens, and even container growing with regular pruning.
