How cold hardy is a mango tree?

[Anto989]

Hi guys,if we have a lemon tree and a mango ,grafted of the very same age,whats' the hardiest?Can a 3years old mango tree (grafted) die with avout 2 degrees under 0 for few hours?

Just for comparison,a lemon tree can live here,same for passiflora edulisand psidium cattleianum.
Edulis flavicarpa die,just like pepper plants

Anto, I think you posted your question in the wrong forum, maybe the moderator can move it to the tropical fruit section?
I guess that is why you didn't get a response yet. I am no mango expert but here is what I know after killng a few trees myself.
As far as I know mango is more sensitive to frost then all the plants you named. It seems to be able to take some frost for a short time, but certainly not in the same amount that a lemon tree or lemon guava can. I think the mango tree, especially a small or young one can easily die with 2 degrees of frost for a whole night.
Goid luck,

Regarding mango, It is not only the temperature, but the humidity as well. Mangos don't do very well even in green houses in Mediterranean countries. You may still try and even have them fruit in a green house. Papayas are performing well on condition you plant them south side of a wall or house and cover them during winters. Sprinklers over the trees help a lot too.

Good luck!

Indeed they do, but it is a pretty care intensive tree, I must admit!
