The Angie cultivar was selected for its relatively small growth habit, rich and complex flavor, and good disease resistance. It was named after Angela Whitman, wife of
William Francis Whitman Jr., a founder and the first president of The
Rare Fruit Council International, Inc. (RFCI) in Miami. Angela is also a trustee of
Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden. 'Angie' was featured as a Curator's Choice mango at the Fairchild Garden's 2010 mango festival. It was one of several mangoes recommended by Fairchild's Curator of Tropical Fruit, Dr. Richard Campbell & Dr. Noris Ledesma, for home growers. == Description ==
