2026 Mango Mania by Tropical Fruit & Vegetable Society of the Redland

Taste up to 150+ mango varieties, take mangoes home, and learn from one of Florida’s most passionate mango growers — all in one unforgettable day.

Mango Mania is a limited‑attendance fundraiser hosted by the Tropical Fruit & Vegetable Society of the Redland, created specifically for people who truly love mangoes.

Unlike large, crowded festivals, this relaxed and immersive event is designed for serious mango enthusiasts who want to taste rare varieties, ask questions, and connect with experts.

🌟 Special Guest Speaker

Chris Wenzel — Founder of Truly Tropical

Chris Wenzel will present “All About Mangoes”, sharing decades of hands‑on experience growing tropical fruit in South Florida.

On her 5‑acre farm in Delray Beach, Chris grows 200+ tropical fruit trees, including 90+ mango varieties, many of which are rare or hard to find.

During her presentation, Chris will cover:

• How she built Truly Tropical from the ground up
• How new mango varieties are developed
• The history and evolution of her farm
• Planting, grafting, and mango tree care
• Proven tips for growing mangoes successfully in South Florida

This is a rare opportunity to learn directly from a leading mango grower in an intimate setting.
