The 'Kent' mango is a named mango cultivar that originated in south Florida. ==History== The original tree, a seedling of the Brooks cultivar started in September 1932, was planted on January 1, 1933 on the property of Leith D. Kent in Coconut Grove, Florida.〔https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=0ysyAAAAIBAJ&sjid=w-cFAAAAIBAJ&pg=2450,1904249&dq=kent+mango&hl=en〕 'Kent' was reportedly a cross between 'Brooks' and 'Haden', which a 2005 pedigree analysis supported.〔http://www.crec.ifas.ufl.edu/academics/faculty/burns/pdf/192-197.pdf〕 The tree first bore fruit in 1938. It was selected, named, and described in 1945. 'Kent' quickly rose in popularity in Florida for its excellent taste and lack of fiber. The tree was susceptible to anthracnose, however, and the fruit's poor shelf life limited its commercial scale in Florida. 'Kent' is grown on a limited commercial scale outside of the United States, particularly in Latin America. Today it is still widely grown as a nursery stock tree for home growing in Florida, where it remains popular. 'Kent' is a parent of several other Florida mangoes, including 'Young' and possibly 'Gold Nugget' and 'Jakarta'. 'Kent' trees are planted in the collections of the USDA's germplasm repository in Miami, Florida,〔http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/acc/display.pl?1614028 USDA, ARS, National Genetic Resources Program.

The original tree still stands in Coconut Grove. In France 'Kent' is the main imported cultivar,〔() Source of Sept 2009 consulted on 21/10/2011〕 with imports coming mainly from South America and Africa. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kent (mango)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
