Cogshall (mango)
Cogshall Mango[edit | edit source]
The Cogshall mango is a mango cultivar that originated in Florida, United States. It is known for its excellent flavor, disease resistance, and compact growth habit, making it a popular choice for home gardens and small-scale orchards.
History[edit | edit source]
The Cogshall mango was first developed in the early 20th century. It was named after the Cogshall family, who were early mango growers in Florida. The cultivar was selected for its superior taste and adaptability to the Florida climate. Over the years, it has become a favorite among mango enthusiasts and is often recommended for those looking to grow mangoes in limited space.
Description[edit | edit source]
The Cogshall mango tree is relatively small, reaching heights of 10 to 15 feet, which makes it ideal for backyard planting. The tree is known for its dense canopy and attractive foliage. The fruit is medium-sized, typically weighing between 12 to 18 ounces. When ripe, the skin of the Cogshall mango is a vibrant mix of red and yellow, often with a slight blush.
The flesh of the Cogshall mango is fiberless, juicy, and aromatic, with a rich, sweet flavor that is often described as a blend of tropical fruits. The seed is small, allowing for more edible flesh.
Cultivation[edit | edit source]
Cogshall mango trees are well-suited to subtropical and tropical climates. They are relatively disease-resistant, particularly to anthracnose, which is a common issue in humid environments. The trees prefer well-drained soil and full sun exposure. They are also known for their ability to produce fruit consistently, even in less-than-ideal conditions.
Pruning is recommended to maintain the tree's size and shape, and to encourage better air circulation within the canopy. This helps in reducing the risk of fungal diseases.
Uses[edit | edit source]
The Cogshall mango is primarily consumed fresh due to its excellent flavor and texture. It can also be used in a variety of culinary applications, including smoothies, salsas, and desserts. The fruit's sweet and aromatic qualities make it a versatile ingredient in both sweet and savory dishes.
