Wanted: dwarf Mango
« on: September 10, 2013, 06:52:56 PM »
Hello,
I live in  Italy (in Palermo) where the weather in the winter is good for many varieties of tropical fruits

I'm seeking some dwarf mangos .... I read that the definition is condo mango

But in the pot is possible to have a fruttification? and which varieties?

I look nam doc mai, pickering, but there are varieties dwarf?


thanks

Yes, the varieties you mention are "dwarf" and will fruit in a pot, plenty of pictures on the internet to support that.

I keep in pots and fruiting if they are grafted in a short time .... maximum height is 4 meters?

There are dwarf varieties even more?

there are problems with the shipment from America for customs ... no one knows sellers in europe?

Pickering... you can forget about that in europe. Nam doc mai, maybe. Canarius sold one clone of nam doc mai named "Mun" but to be honest, nobody has been able to clarify if it was a clone more adapt to be eaten fresh, or it was a dessert variety. However, they apparently taste good when ripened, so you should be able to grow a decent plant from them.

One last thing: i don't think that right now is the best moment for buying/planting a mango tree in Italy, even in Palermo. You've got to wait at least till spring.

yes, the name condo mango comes from the idea that these can be grown in containers in apartments. So dwarf.
