Mango

Mango is a long-lived tropical evergreen fruit tree grown for sweet climacteric fruit. It needs frost-free warmth, full sun, strong drainage, and careful pruning to keep canopy size manageable. Productive container culture is possible with dwarf grafted cultivars, but full fruiting requires years, high light, and a cool or dry induction period before bloom. Nutrition is potassium-dominant in bearing trees, while excess nitrogen before flowering can push vegetative flush instead of panicles.
