J says... Not sure what Lenn's problem is but Avocados are grown in mildura which has a similar climate so you should be fine. Come to think of it I've seen Mango trees in mildura as well, but they are covered during winter so the frosts dont wipe them out. If you can find a frost free site there's no harm in giving mangoes a shot. | About the Author J upwey 18th October 2012 12:08pm #UserID: 2954 Posts: 397 View All J's Edible Fruit Trees |

Jantina says... Hi Ange, I agree with J, Bacon avo can take down to -6c when established, I'd certainly give it a go. As for mango, unless you are prepared to go to some trouble to protect it in winter etc I'd try a White sapote instead (still need protection when small like the avo) or try the American Asimina Triloba they can easily take down to -10 in winter and the named varieties are delicious. Alternatively go and check out what the mango growers there do. Good luck. | About the Author Jantina Mt Gambier 18th October 2012 6:16pm #UserID: 1351 Posts: 1272 View All Jantina's Edible Fruit Trees |
