Rapoza Mango
Mangifera indica
Originally developed in Hawaii, Rapoza is a standout variety prized for its intense tropical flavor, low fiber, and exceptional disease resistance—especially against anthracnose, which plagues many mangoes in humid climates. This makes it an excellent choice for growers in rainy or coastal areas where other mangoes might struggle.
Rapoza produces medium to large fruit, usually 12 to 24 ounces, with deep orange flesh and a rich, sweet, aromatic flavor that’s often compared to classic Indian mangoes. The skin ripens to a blushed red over green, making it visually appealing for market or home use. The fruit is almost completely fiberless, with a smooth, custard-like texture.
It’s a mid- to late-season producer in most climates, typically ripening from July to August in Florida. The tree is compact to moderately vigorous, and generally manageable at 12–15 feet with pruning, making it suitable for smaller yards or high-density orchards.
Pros:
Excellent flavor with low to no fiber
Naturally disease-resistant, especially to anthracnose
Good yields and attractive fruit
Can be kept small with pruning
Considerations:
Not as well-known commercially, so better for home growers or specialty markets
Somewhat slower to bear in cool climates compared to early-season types
Best for: Backyard growers, food forests, or anyone seeking a premium-quality mango that performs well in humid or rainy conditions.

Winter Shipping Advisory
Cold Weather Alert: Tropical trees are highly sensitive to cold temperatures. During colder months, our greenhouses maintain warm, optimal conditions for growth, which makes plants more vulnerable to cold damage during shipping.
Recommendations: If temperatures along the shipping route are below 40°F, we recommend holding your order until it’s safe to ship. We will notify you if a delay is necessary.
No Freeze Warranty: We do not guarantee plants shipped during freezing conditions. Shipping in cold weather is at the buyer’s discretion and risk.
Shipping Schedule
Local (In-State) Shipments: Orders ship Monday through Wednesday to ensure delivery before the weekend. Most locations within the state receive deliveries in 1 to 2 days.
Out-of-State Shipments: Orders ship primarily on Monday and Tuesday to avoid weekend delays.
