The Davis Haden mango variety originated in Florida, United States, and was introduced into Australia in the early 1970s. Captain John Haden first selected Haden, a seedling of Mulgoba, in 1902. The pollen parent of this variety is thought to have been a turpentine variety that was widely grown in Florida at the time. The flesh of a "Haden" Mango is full of sweet flavor and it is of excellent eating quality. The fruit is eye catching, having a deep yellow base with a crimson blush . The tree usually grows large with an open rounded canopy and yes, we have plenty of "Davis Haden " in our nurseries .

The 'Irwin' mango is a commercial mango cultivar which was developed in South Florida. This
Mangifera indica Cultivar's original tree was a seedling of the Lippens cultivar that was open-cross pollinated with Haden, planted on the property of F.D. Irwin in Miami, Florida in 1939. The tree first bore fruit in 1945 and was named and described in 1949. The fruit gained commercial acceptance due to its good production, flavor, relative disease resistance, and attractive color. 'Irwin' has also been sold as a nursery stock tree for home growing here in Malawi and you can find them in our botanic Garden nurseries of Malawi.

We may be biased, but there is nothing better than a peaceful moment in the botanical gardens.

whilst most of the plants found in both of our regional gardens. (Zomba, Lilongwe & Mzuzu) are indigenous and native , you would still find thousands of other plant species cultivated in from all parts of Malawi. Their adaptation tells a story of plant survival in a new and challenging environment. Due to covid-19, only a limited number of people will be allowed. pay us a visit now !!
