Comments: - Who doesn't like Mangos? I have a huge old Common tree in my yard, I am in the process of Topworking it with Brooks, Keitt, KP, R2E2 and NamDocMai, that's where the Frankenmango name comes from. Plan is to have Mangos early thru late on the same large tree; with the odd off season fruit that the remnant Common branches tend to produce up here I should have mangos 6 or 8 months of the year!

I had a run on mangoes last year - every time time I cut a seed open they were growing. I tried the putting a couple on top of a glass of water with toothpicks to hold them up. These ones died and rotted.

So the rest went into the ground and a few weeks later there were 5 up. They are in a moderately sunny spot, protected from midday sun with dappled afternoon sun. They get a light watering every morning when it's hot and every second or third day in winter.

Planted: 2008

Height 25 Centimetres

Growing: In a Pot

Qty: 4

Sun/Shade: Medium Sun

Fertiliser or Organics Used: seasol every 2 weeks

Pest Control:

On of my babies got eated by snails and was too badly damaged to save. I almost lost another one to curl grub. So now I have to remember to put out snail bait. I check all plants for the grubs and pulled any out. So now keeping an eye open for any sign

Hi there, I noticed that you grew a Keitt mango from seed. I have done the same but still early days yet. Did you ever get any fruit from yours?

Nitro1 says... [1319 days 1hrs ago]

Hi, My dog ended up eating my mangoes :-/ However, before she did it actually DID start to produce fruit!! I lost the first crop and the dog got to it before it flowered/fruited again. Lol, time for take two!

Thanks for letting me know!! I will keep it growing then :)

The tree looks really healthy when it arrived. Not sure about the fruit as I suspect that it takes at least another 3 years before it starts to bear any fruits.
