Mango - R2E2 (Grafted) (Seedling)

Comments: -

Went well for a number of years but then it and my other mango (which was grown from a seed) died I think from some type of fungal disease. This was after a period of heavy rain. I have seen others grow mangoes really well in this area though. They like a warm sheltered spot with good drainage. They tend to fruit well every second year.

Update September 2014: masses of flowers this year after a one-third prune in autumn. The scent is awful - think stale, soapy water or a bit like Photinia flowers. Still, small fruit are already forming and I hold high hopes for a fabulous crop this year. Might need to think it out if things get too frenetic.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The fruit was of good quality. Perhaps not as superior as a Bowen type mango but better than the majority of mangoes in Brisbane. Survived the November 2009 storms in The Gap / Keperra. 2010-2011 season has been disappointing only because it was wet during flowering and no fruit was set. The tree has made up for it with fresh vegetative growth and is getting a little larger than I expected!

Update Nov 2013. Set and produced a good crop of fruit in 2012-13 but did not set well this year owing very dry weather following pollination.

Update 09-Dec-2011: Got around 2-3 tiny fruits which dropped before they matured. Just one fruit remaining which is as big as a closed fist at the moment. New pic attached.

I love mangoes, my favourite being the Alphonse variety. But unfortunately we do not get it here in Australia. Daleys is seeking propogation material for the last 2 years :( The variety closest to alphonse i believe is the bowen variety. But I have planted the R2E2 variety which produce a larger fruit and is equally sweet.

This tree was in my apartment balcony in a pot for about a year before i planted it into the ground last year. And about a month later it flowered and produced 3 lovely fruits :)  

This year it has already started flowering profusely (pic). I might have to prematurely remove the fruits in december coz i dont think this little tree will be able to bear the weght of the fruits if it holds on to 3 or more.

Comments: -  Not very vigorous here. The fruit tastes way better than in the shops though. Thinking of top-working our 3 because they are underperforming, compared to the Mahachanok, for eg.
(this is the very first fruit we got - so it's really small)

Yummy fruit. Attractive tree. Prone to fungal and scale problems. Furit yields increase each year. Do not water whilst in flower. Wait until fruit set.

Mangoes are one of my favourite fruit, but will probably need a lot of luck to successfully grow one this far south.

UPDATE: it has flowers! Will pick the panicles off but just stoked it has survived (let alone has flowers), particularly after such a cold Winter.

The fruit is large and juicy and I love the canopy of mango trees which provide a lovely cover and shade.
