Home of the Honey Gold Mango! the Ideal Family Business in Close Proximity to Rockhampton
Honey Gold mangoes were first bred by chance in Queensland's Rockhampton region in 1991 and are the result of a Kensington Pride off-type pollinated by an unknown variety. When the original tree first bore fruit, the grower recognising its unique taste and appearance named it Honey Gold. Piata Farms bought the plant breeders' rights to the variety in 2002 and sent the first fruit to market in 2009. The original tree still bears fruit today.
