Mango Masters: Dr Richard Campbell on The World of Mangos

Fairchild Tropical Garden's fruit collection has deep roots, dating back to 1936 when David Fairchild himself planted the first mango trees. Today, our expansive collection of award-winning cultivars from around the world is a cherished gift that we proudly share with the South Florida community.
Join us for an immersive experience in mango how-to and horticulture through a captivating lecture series, featuring an elite lineup of mango experts throughout the weekend. Among them is Dr. Richard Campbell, former curator of tropical fruits at Fairchild, who has spent years traveling the globe, collecting and cultivating exceptional varieties of tropical fruits. His invaluable expertise continues to shape tropical fruit cultivation here in Florida.

Mangoes are going bananas these days! Both mango and dragon fruit are rapidly growing in popularity in the United States. In Florida, mangoes thrive, while in California, dragon fruit is becoming a star. The genetic diversity happening with dragon fruit is accelerating its growth and appeal, leading to more unique and vibrant varieties hitting the market.

Reading this while the taste of store bought Kent is still fresh in my mouth! :-) They are firm with a thicker skin, so easy to transport.
