Don starts with ... I would like to grow a mango tree in Wollongong, NSW [Illawarra district]. Can anyone recommend a variety that does well in this area & also is resistant to the common diseases of anthracnose & black spot? Average min temps in winter are 6 to 7 degrees and average max in winter is 18 degrees. | About the Author Don Wollongong, NSW 24th July 2012 5:44pm #UserID: 7095 Posts: 3 View All Don's Edible Fruit Trees |

David says... Hi Don ,Having lived in Sydney from 79 to 85, you could try something like Florigon or Glenn, each has some built in genetic resistance to anthracnose a fungal disease mangoes are prone to in wet climatesd , mangoes generally prefer dry climate at flowering time and Sydney generally is not dry in spring hence the problem. Do some investigating even the Daleys website has some good info on varieties. Good luck. | About the Author David Brisbane 31st July 2012 8:59pm #UserID: 1961 Posts: 670 View All David's Edible Fruit Trees |
BJ says... Growers here have also said Haden is a good one for cold tolerance and fruit set, as it will flower repeatedly until the condidtions are right, then set fruits. The fruit isnt what I'd call top teir though. Keitt likes the cold, but likes it dry and can be a bugger of a tree to get growing into a nice shape. | About the Author Theposterformerlyknownas Brisbane 1st August 2012 8:03am #UserID: 3270 Posts: 1552 View All Theposterformerlyknownas's Edible Fruit Trees |
