Hey y’all,
I just purchased my first mango tree!
I currently have a loquat, starfruit and dragon fruit as well.
I am located in northeast Florida in zone 9b
I chose a grafted Pickering mango in a 3 gallon container and I intend to continue to grow this tree in a container due to the occasional freeze that we have here.
How long can I leave the plant in this 3 gallon container before I should up pot it into a 5 gallon pot?
And what organic soil do you recommend?
I am currently using 80% organic forest mulch and 20% organic mushroom compost for my main soil mixture throughout the garden.
Would this mix work well for a mango tree?
Or should I mix in 50% native sand/soil with 50% of the above mixture?
Any advice is greatly appreciated!
