Mango - Bowen Seedling (Seedling) ^7/10

Comments: -

Mangoes are one of my favourite fruits. Love tropical plants and growing them in Melbourne is a challenge but also quite rewarding when it's successful.

I had blossoms and tiny fruits on my mango tree in the second and third year but all the fruits fell. Does anyone have any advice on how to look after the blossoms and to get some fruits from mango tree.

Mango - R2E2 (Grafted) ^8/10

Comments: -

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.

I Love mangoes. Growing well in Melbourne.

UpdateJan17-  Very easy to grow, doesn't need much fertiliser or water growing well now during the summer but  I did have to cut it back a little bit after winter.

Dwarf Mango - King Thai

Comments: - I have a few mango trees that grow in pots and ground. They did ok in Melbourne but grew very slowly and suffered some die back in winter. I had 2 mango trees planted in ground died. New growth emerged around late November and easily burnt by hot summer sun. So they need protection from frost and sun while they are young.
