General Information:
Keitt is a late-season, semi-dwarf variety with large, highly coloured fruit. Keitt originated in Florida as an open pollinated seedling of Mulgoba, which was first selected in 1939. Keitt is grown commercially in many mango exporting countries, such as the USA, Israel, Mexico and South Africa.
Although Keitt was first introduced into Australia in 1979, it was not widely grown until the late 1980s.
