This is an exceptionally attractive mango variety. Valencia Pride is very elongated, compared to other mango's. The color is absolutely beautiful. David Fairchild once said this about Valencia Pride, "The color? How can I put it into words that will mean anything? A delicate mottling of scarlet which spreads like a wash over a background of gold and deepens to a spot of purple; but where a branch of the tree shaded it; it was bright green. The color has to be seen to understand." And we completely agree!! |
