Phoenix Mango

[BurkTheMangoLover]

Please share pics of your tree or your fruit from this year. Purchased this variety in 3 gal in march and ive already had to up pot it twice and its now in 25 gal. Definitely a "super vigorous"grower. I've been tipping it with my fingernails and attempting to train it. Im so excited for this variety as i hear its in a lot of peoples top 5. share your experiences with this fruit or tree please.

Had a couple fruits, both times taste was excellent. Typical mango flavor but is extremely sweet and juicy with fruitiness definitely top tier. flesh of mango dark orange.
I put in a small 3G of Spring of 2023, has flushed 4 times this year and now is over 5ft tall. Definitely on the vigorous side

Looks like it will have an upright dense canopy, can't comment on disease resistance- but foliage is stilly pretty clean despite the metric ton of rain we've received this year. Hopefully will flower this winter.

mine definitely has an upright dense canopy as well. im pleased to hear this is your experience. looking forward to this variety more and more.  this tree doesnt take much. a little fish emulsion and maybe a dash of epsom salt and everything is very green and strong.

Planted this Phoenix less then 3yrs ago.  Snipped it in half i'll guess after 6 months? and branched out to 4, hard to tell in photo.
I trimmed it alot after all my trees flowers got wiped by powdery mildew this spring.
Yet to taste it, darn better next summer lol.
Its in middle of M4 & Peach Cobbler which seem same vigor.  Rapid.

Great idea for the grass barrier! Im gonna steal that.

I've always mulched from the drip line in.

My yard has angry grass. I mulch and crab grass puts out its shoots all toward the drip irrigation spray heads. 2x8” redwood buried 2/3 deep on edge would be a great barrier. Plus it would create a perfect surface to weed whack against!

beautiful tree. mine looks like a younger, identical version. upright, dense and a nice copper color when flushing. thank you for sharing. i also hear Phoenix is susceptible to powdery mildew so ill have to prepare for that should it flower this winter. thank you for sharing.

It is my understanding, Peach Cobbler and Phoenix are vigorous trees. They do not support what I'm doing on our property. M-4 as a moderate grower fits what I'm doing. Your mentioning that M-4 is vigorous scares me.

[pineflatwoods]

My M-4 hasn't been overly aggressive so far. I'm noticing the Phoenix is more susceptible to anthracnose on the leaves than others, have to keep an eye if it flowers this winter

fortunately my Phoenix is spotless. i have an Irwin next to it that got it really bad this summer and i was worried that it would affect the surrounding trees but thankfully both my Phoenix and Dwarf Hawaiian have exceptionally clean foliage. fingers crossed that it stays that way.

M4 on left, Phoenix right.
I've yet to taste Phoenix, M4 was ok.  Cogshall my fav that fruited so far.  I love my old Kent.

I had some exceptional Kent mangoes 🥭 this season. All the fruit were.clean but they were early

The trees look amazing with dense canopies.

How did you get so much growth and trunk thickness in 20 months? Please share the secret 

[MasOlas]

Agree, spill the beans, please!
