Wayne Pickering
Wayne Pickering, widely known in the mango community as The Mango Man, was a nutrition educator and fruit enthusiast whose name is associated with the Pickering mango selected by Walter Zill. The person and the cultivar are related historically but are not interchangeable subjects: claims about the tree's performance should be checked against cultivar information rather than inferred from a biography. Mango Database's tribute discusses his community connection. Personal recollections should be identified as recollections, without treating an unverified quotation or date as an established scientific fact.
