Glenn is a Florida mango cultivar that originated in Miami from a seed of the Haden variety and was introduced in the 1940s. It is widely recommended for home growers because of its reliable production, disease tolerance, and consistently mild, sweet flavor that appeals to those who find other mangoes too intense. Glenn is an early-to-mid-season variety and is monoembryonic, so it is propagated by grafting. The tree has a moderate, manageable growth habit that suits dooryard plantings, and its fruit resists the anthracnose problems that plague many Florida cultivars, making it one of the most dependable and forgiving mangoes for backyard cultivation in subtropical regions.
