Waterfall says... 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. http://tropicalfruitforum.com/ 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.

denise1 says... 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. | About the Author denise1 auckland NZ 5th March 2015 8:47am #UserID: 6832 Posts: 688 View All denise1's Edible Fruit Trees |
