Hi Jeff,

Maybe Glenn or Irwin? I have a Glenn mango, but it's still young so I can't say what it will look like, but it is supposed to be moderate sized.

Diana.

I think Diana's right Jeff, you can prune/train them to suit your needs. They are pretty tough critters once they establish themselves. I have pruned/trained my tree away from the neighbours yard.

Have 12 different mango varieties and would have to say by far Glenn and florigon are sort of semi dwarf,both trees been in the ground now10 or 12 years and still only4 mtres tall ,but easy to keep under control by selective prunning,i might also add both the glenn and florigon are consistent in there production and good at anthracnose resistance,a major problem with mangos growing in south east qld,good luck.Im in springwood south side of brisbane.Another possibility is Palmer,lovely coloured mango.

Thanks Wayne.Pruning is an understatement.That is one open mango tree.

Thank you also David.Very helpful.
I live in Rochedale South.If I can find your mango trees I won't need to plant any.
