Mango Ice Cream HD Wallpaper
The 'Ice Cream' cultivar was discovered in Trinidad and Tobago, and was later brought to the United States by Maurice Kong of the Rare Fruit Council International and introduced via Florida. It is of unknown parentage.It became recognized for its semi-dwarf growth habit; trees can be maintained under 6.5 feet in height, and it has been promoted as a 'condo mango' by Dr. Richard Campbell of the Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden. Because of its dwarf properties, 'Ice Cream' is often grown in a pot. It has become a commonly sold nursery stock tree marketed to home growers in Florida.
'Ice Cream' trees are now planted at the USDA's tropical fruit germplasm in Miami, Florida, as well as the Miami-Dade Fruit and Spice Park in Homestead, Florida.
