Mango-Glenn by Zill's

Taste:
The Glenn mango is renowned for its sweet and mild flavor, often described as having a peach-like quality with hints of coconut or citrus. The flesh is smooth, with minimal fiber, making it highly desirable for fresh eating. The fruit is juicy and aromatic, with a pleasant, creamy texture.

Best Growing Environment:
Glenn mango trees thrive in tropical and subtropical climates. They prefer warm temperatures and are best suited for USDA hardiness zones 9b to 11. These trees need a well-drained soil that is slightly acidic to neutral (pH 5.5 to 7.5). They are sensitive to cold and can suffer damage or even die if exposed to freezing temperatures.

Common Names:
The Glenn mango is commonly referred to simply as "Glenn" or "Glenn Mango."

Average Height and Growth Rate:
Glenn mango trees typically grow to a height of 10 to 15 feet, though they can reach up to 20 feet under ideal conditions. They have a moderate growth rate, with young trees growing faster in the first few years before slowing as they mature.

Sun Requirements:
Glenn mango trees require full sun to thrive, needing at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight daily. Insufficient sunlight can lead to reduced fruit production and overall poor health.

Cold Hardiness:
While Glenn mangoes are relatively cold-tolerant compared to some other mango varieties, they are still sensitive to temperatures below 30°F (-1°C). Young trees and blossoms are particularly vulnerable to frost damage.
