I am a heavy-yielding and highly attractive mango variety known for my distinct purplish-red blush and my reliable, late-season harvests.

I originated in Miami, Florida, in the 1930s and have since become a favorite in Mediterranean and subtropical climates for my cold-hardiness and beauty.

I prefer regular, deep watering during the flowering and fruiting periods, but I am relatively resilient to short dry spells once my root system is established.

I need full, direct sunlight to develop the intense "sensation" of my purple and red skin pigments; shaded fruits will remain mostly green.

I thrive in warm climates between 20°C and 35°C, but I am noted for having a slightly better tolerance for cooler subtropical winters compared to other Florida varieties.

I have a naturally symmetrical and somewhat compact growth habit, making me an excellent choice for smaller gardens or even large decorative pots.

I enjoy a balanced fertilizer in the early spring and a potassium-rich feed during the summer to help my fruits reach their full color and sweetness.

My scientific name is Mangifera indica 'Sensation' and I belong to the Anacardiaceae family.

My fruit flesh is a safe, Vitamin-rich treat for pets, but keep them away from my sap and leaves, which can be irritating to their skin and mouth.

My lush, evergreen canopy is a great air filter, providing oxygen and cooling shade throughout the year.

I am a great source of Vitamin A and dietary fiber, and my beautiful, plum-colored fruits make me a stunning "edible landscape" tree.

I am generally hardy, but I can be susceptible to "internal breakdown" if I am left on the tree for too long, so I should be picked at the right maturity.

I am a long-lived perennial tree that, with proper care and pruning, can remain a productive garden centerpiece for 30 to 50 years.
