R2E2 is a early season variety with a large, highly coloured fruit. It was developed by the Department of Agriculture in 1982 and takes its name from the row and position in the field of the original tree at the DEEDI´s Bowen Research Station. R2E2's are the third most popular variety grown in Australia.

R2E2’s are the third most popular variety grown in Australia. R2E2′s have a long shelf life, they are firm when ripe and are sought after on the export market. They have a yellow, moist flesh and a tangy flavour. Although they might seem cheaper than other varieties because of the size it must be remembered that they also have a considerably larger seed.

R2E2

R2E2 is a mid-season variety with large, highly coloured fruit. It was selected in 1982 by Ian Bally, Ross Wright and Peter Beal as a seedling progeny of the Florida variety Kent, and takes its name from the row and position in the field of the original tree at the department´s Bowen Research Facility.

Released for commercial production in 1991, R2E2 has gained wide acceptance throughout all mango-growing regions in Australia and is the third most popular variety grown. R2E2 has a long shelf life and is sought after on the export market.

Pride. The fruit is firm when ripe and has an extended shelf life. For best flavour and appearance, the fruit should be harvested when the nose of the fruit shows signs of yellowing. Fruit picked at this stage is still firm enough to be handled by sorting and packing equipment and arrives on the market at the optimal eating stage. Because of R2E2's large fruit size, high-sided mango trays (130 mm) are needed for marketing to prevent the fruit bruising.

Pest and disease status

R2E2 is similar to Kensington Pride in its tolerance to anthracnose (Colletorichum gleosporiodies) but it is slightly more susceptible to bacterial black spot (Xanthomonas campestris pv. mangiferaeindicae) than Kensington Pride, though less susceptible than Keitt. R2E2 is affected by major insect pests such as mango scale (Aulacaspis tubercularis), Tipborer (Penicillaria jocosatrix and Chlumetia euthysticha), fruit flies (Bactrocera sp.) and planthopper (Colgaroides acuminata).

Fruit disorders

R2E2 is generally not affected by many disorders. However, some internal fruit breakdown has been reported in trees growing on sandy soils. The sap of R2E2 will cause sapburn, though damage is not as severe as with Kensington Pride. Skin browning is often seen on ripe fruit.

R2E2 is the most susceptible of the Australian varieties to boron deficiency. In boron-deficient trees, the flowers may be kinked or bent in the main stem, and leaves are bent with ragged edges and small holes. In severe cases, cracks appear in the trunk and major limbs that ooze black gummy sap. Trees growing on sandy soils, similar to the granitic sands of the Mareeba district, are the most prone to boron deficiency.

Marketing

R2E2 fruit is highly sought after and generally fetches higher prices on the domestic markets than other varieties. R2E2's colour, shelf life and overall quality make it well suited to export markets. R2E2 has export clearance for Japan after treatment with approved vapour heat treatment for fruit fly disinfestation
