Pot size for mango and persimmons?
« on: October 01, 2018, 07:25:31 PM »
Hi guys,


I have persimmon and mango in 15 gallon containers right now.  I am growing them in container and 1 of them need to repot.   I currently have empty 20-25 gallon pots (size 19"x19").   Can i keep them in this pot and maintain their size or they will need to up 1 more size?

thanks,
tony

Type of mango tree you have might help answer your question. I am new to planting mango tress, well not entirely new I planted a Home Depot Manilla in the ground couple years ago and neglected it. But it grew strong and big with just sprinkler water without any fertilizer and fruited every year. I now have 12 varieties of mango trees, planted 9 in the ground and planning to grow rest condo mangoes (Ice Cream, Pickering and Cogshall) in 65 gallon pots.

I don't have those 2 varieties, but from what I have seen online those varieties grow big.

I dont' want that much fruit.  I  only want enough for family, maybe 30 is enough.
