Most new mango varieties come from this nursery: Zill High Performance Plants
From Pete Kanaris GreenDreamsFL: "Have you ever wondered where the tropical fruit nurseries & groves get their wholesale stock? Zill High Performance Plants is #1 in the country when it comes to new & top-notch Mango cultivars! As mentioned in the video, they do not sell to the public & they do not ship. You must have a business/resale license to contact Zill High Performance Plants. (wholesale / bulk orders only)".
4,500 trees is not a big order for Zill, said Pete. Not so sure about that. Nevertheless, the place is impressive, as it the hype about the new varieties. Past performance have shown that some of these newer varieties may be plagued by low productivity and diseases that have not been fully evaluated at the time of the launch. The 4,500-order was for Jubilee farm near Tampa, video is here.

Mango Varieties: Kent
From Truly Tropical: 'Kent' is a delicious late season mango. It originated at the residence of Mr. Kent in Coconut Grove, Florida. Kent is popular for its excellent taste and lack of fiber. It has firm, tender, melting flesh with a rich, sweet flavor.
Mango Varieties - Florigon
The original tree grew from a seed planted in 1932 on the property of John G. Kaiser of Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Kaiser was the police chief as well as the clerk of the court for Ft. Lauderdale. The tree was believed to be a seedling of the 'Saigon' mango, however a 2005 pedigree analysis estimated that 'Haden' was the likely parent,[3] but this is complicated by the fact that 'Florigon' is a polyembryonic mango. The name 'Florigon' was a combination of 'Florida' and 'Saigon'. The tree first fruited in 1936.
Initially, 'Florigon' did not receive widespread attention but later on it has become recognized for its excellent flavor, good production characteristics, and disease resistance. The original 'Florigon' tree is still standing in Ft. Lauderdale!
The fruit is small and ovate in shape, averaging less than a pound in weight. At maturity it is almost entirely yellow, sometimes with some light blush. The yellow flesh is sweet, mild, and non-fibrous, containing a polyembryonic seed.'Florigon' fruit matures from May to July in Florida.
The trees are moderately vigorous and have upright, open canopies.
From Truly Tropical:

Yes, you can grow a mango tree from a seed - and Nam Doc Mai is the one to plant (polyembryonic)
Yes, you can grow a mango tree from a seed - and Nam Doc Mai is the one to plant. This variety is well-adapted to South Florida. You can buy the mango fruit from Truly Tropical farm in Delray Beach: http://delraymango.blogspot.com
Nam Doc Mai is a polyembryonic mango and when planted, the seed will produce several seedlings most of which will produce fruit that is true to type. Still, have in mind that trees propagated by grafting will come into production earlier, producing fruit 1-2 years after planting vs. seedlings which can take up to 5 years to fruit.
