Thanks for replies.In brief purusal of information about Paclobutrazol, in abstract of a research into its toxic effects: "Due to its high mobility, high stability and potential for bioaccumulation, the risks of PBZ to the health of organisms and ecological systems have become a serious concern."
You will probably have to use dwarf varieties to keep six feet.If you have room, plant one every five years and alternately replace one every ten years. The older they get the harder to control. Try to grow in full sun exposure to stay shorter. These are just my thoughts. Paclobutrazol chemically dwarfs mango.
you could try something like espalierhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eS2vkvzHiiE
I like Pickering as for as size and flavor. I’ve used this page to look at characteristics to chose some new mangoes, plus a little side research once I’ve seen some that look appealing. https://toptropicals.com/html/toptropicals/articles/fruit/varieties_mango.htm
