I love mangos. It is probably a dream that I will be eating fruit from this plant but I have a Glasshouse, I’m going to try it.Semi-dwarf  tree, this “condo mango” is suitable for container growing. Fungus resistant, good disease tolerance, and the fruit is fiberless which is a very desirable feature for a mango.


Comment: Living in Mexico in my youth, women use the word “Mango” when talking about a good looking man. I do not know why, but perhaps because everyone loves mangos there.

HEIGHT X SPREAD: 12 ft x 5 ft PLANT TYPE: Tree - Tropical evergreen Semi- dwarf GROWTH RATE: Slow TEXTURE: shiny and leathery. Bold LIGHT: full sun WATER: medium, regularly, do not overwater. SOIL: high Organic
As observed in Coastal NC. BLOOMS: white/ near white, blooms repeatedly: late winter/early spring, late fall/ early winter. FRUIT AND SEED: 10 - 16 inches oval, yellow to red fruit ripens June-July .The fiberless fruit has a mild, sweet flavor that appeals to many. KEY FEATURES: Leaves have leathery texture/rippled. It can easily be maintained at just eight feet tall, and it will still produce a good size crop year after. It is also fungus resistant.
A year cycle in the life of ...... at Mooring Hitch Tree came about 2-3 ft. tall. 4 months later the tree looks good but exactly the same as it arrived. I expect it to start growing come spring. I placed it on a relatively large pot so I hope it is making roots. Fertilized about every 2-4 weeks during winter with citrus formula (30-10-10) plus liquid iron. Plant perish after hurricane flood august 2011
