Waterfall says... I would look for one on a dwarf rootstock if it has to be in a pot. Canley vale nursery often have these otherwise forbidden fruits specialise in this and usually have lots but I'm not sure if they deliver. I was just up there for a wedding so dropped in and picked up a nam doc mai mango on dwarfing rootstock. I have not tasted many different types of mango as its mostly kensington pride (Bowen) mango in the shops which are delicious and my wife eats the green ones which I also enjoy now since being introduced to that. Other than those I have not tried any of the varieties found at nurseries so can only go off the descriptions of flavour which can be subjective. I'm not sure there are any completely disease resistant varieties either, most seem to be susceptible to something but these things are manageable. | About the Author Waterfall Waterfall 4th November 2014 9:53pm #UserID: 10026 Posts: 422 View All Waterfall's Edible Fruit Trees |

shaz says... I've had a chat to my local bunnings as well and they seem to have grafted ones but the lady said i'd have to wait around 2 years for it to bare fruit which sucks. Is it possible to buy one in Sydney which will give fruit this season without spending a $1000+ ? Or if I bought a 18 month old grafted can I give it anything to stimulate growth ? | About the Author shaz Epping 5th November 2014 9:56pm #UserID: 10762 Posts: 5 View All shaz's Edible Fruit Trees |

Brain says... The lady is correct, as the tree needs to be bigger in order to successfully hold fruit. Some gardeners even recommend to sacrifice fruit for the first 3 yrs. However, if you dont care too much long term, it is possible to have fruit in the first year. Try to find a tree that has little mangos already on it and hope for the best. If you are lucky, the fruit may hold. | About the Author Brain Brisbane 5th November 2014 10:39pm #UserID: 6289 Posts: 638 View All Brain's Edible Fruit Trees |

Waterfall says... I was at Canley Vale today and they have a lot of mango trees, some were barely over 1m tall with fruit on them but it was during the big thunder storm so I didn't get a chance to look at all the different types they had. I did see lots of Kensington Pride (Bowen), some were very advanced big trees. They also had some kiew savoy which is the green eating one and a valencia pride, probably more but I was getting rained on. | About the Author Waterfall Waterfall 5th November 2014 10:44pm #UserID: 10026 Posts: 422 View All Waterfall's Edible Fruit Trees |

Waterfall says... Well you have missed out this year anyway unless you buy one with flowers on it now. I bought my KP mango from Canley Vale at the end of last summer, the first photo is when I bought it, I then cut it down to 0.75m so it would branch low and the second photo is this spring. It has set lots of fruit now which I will be removing anyway so it puts its energy into some nice branches.
