Mango Suggestions For Container Growing In Greenhouse
« on: July 29, 2020, 08:57:30 AM »
I'm looking to add a Mango to my plant menagerie.
Apparently they are pretty popular! ;D
I need to strike a balance for a variety that will grow fine in a 20 gallon container... Thrive in a cool winter greenhouse that stays above freezing... And tastes excellent while producing plenty of fruit to justify the space it will occupy.
I have no first hand experience with tasting or growing Mangos like my friends in Florida and California... so I would appreciate any input.
Adam Shafran suggested Pickering or Ice Cream to me.
Also I will need to be able to purchase and have it shipped.... so suggestions for growers would also be appreciated.

Thanks.

Kevin Jones

Vote up for pickering mango.
Be very careful and mindful of what you sow, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.

Pine Island Nursery ships pretty cheap- about $30. Condo mangoes stay pretty small- mallika, ndm, pickering, cogshall, etc.

I'd go with Malika or Pickering. Malika can get big, but will be really bushy and fruit heavily if pruned regularly and properly.  Also, a bit more finicky fruiting-wise, but a mango tree on the smaller side would be Mahachanok
