Mangifera indica Kensington Pride mangoes, also known as Bowen mangoes, are Australia's most popular and commercially grown mango. It is an attractive tropical, evergreen tree with a dense canopy of long, narrow green leaves. Clusters of fragrant small yellow or pink flowers appear through winter and spring. The large, fleshy fruit is usually green, ripening to bright yellow with red blush, around March and April. The sweet, juicy mango is perfect for fruit platters, chutneys, ice cream and smoothies.
