I am thinking of growing the drawf Irwin in an extra large pot in the backyard. Will it grow in a large pot? Any recommendations as to how large the pot should be? Thanks

Most people will upgrade pot size each year to try and limit the size of the tree, if you just go straight to a huge size pot you have much less control over the ultimate size.

There is a lot of good info on container grown mangos over on the TFF forums.

I have one mango in a pot, the rest are in the ground. Its a nam doc mai grafted onto a dwarf rootstock, most likely Irwin.

Virtually no point whatsoever in growing mangoes in pots.

Growing a mango in a bonsai bag means you have a smaller tree when space is limited. You should get a few fruit anyway. You can take it with you if needing to shift. Otherwise stick it in the ground.

The bigger the pot, the bigger crop you get. I put a small mango in a 200 litre barrell and the tree grew quite big but when bigger needed water nearly every summer day. It was very healthy but then died of a collar rot at 3m tall and counting.Put brick rubble in the bottom to help with drainage and use a mix with reasonable drainage.
