This mango was a seedling of the Lippens mango, selected by Peter and Irene Lippens of Miami, FL. The seed was planted in 1942 and first fruited in 1951. The Golden Lippens was publicized and described by the Florida Mango Forum in the 1950s, but despite its good production traits, it never became a commonly planted variety.
The trees are moderately-vigorous growers with vertical-orientated canopy, and very good producers. Our tree has produced heavy crops.
The fruit are medium-to-large sized, oval-oblong in shape, turning light-yellow at maturity. The flesh has scanty fiber, with a mild flavor somewhat comparable to that of Valencia Pride. They have a monoembryonic seed.
Golden Lippens fruit are mid season for maturity and ripen from July to August. It has good resistance to both powdery mildew and anthracnose but is moderately prone to skin cracking and rot fungi.
