BrianL-
himsagar seems to be doing pretty well outdoor ,in term of taste, I don't know what it's like yet since it's my first year with the fruits.

As a resident Californian, could I ask what soil you used and how frequently you watered your mango trees? Also are thse from seedlings or grafts?

no special soil other than compost. my soil drains pretty well. it's not clay.
