Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: will mangoes grow/produce... Melbourne Beach (beachside)
« on: February 26, 2023, 05:33:16 PM »Climate wise yes they will fruit well in Melbourne Beach. Your main problem if you are right on A1A will be salt spray. I am four houses West of A1A in Mel Beach. Before my sapodilla and seagrape windbreak got big enough my mangos would suffer anytime we got hard onshore winds. I have friends who have given up trying to grow them beachfront, because even on the West side of their house they die after a few days of onshore wind. Hope it helps.
Would this rootstock help with that?

I doubt it. It is salt spray from the ocean that is the problem not high salt content in the soil.
