Dwarf Mango - Sensation

The sound of this fruit and the idea of a red dwarf mango is rather exciting to me. The plan is to put it in a giant pot (about 0.5 m3) to match the other dwarf mango (which will also be in a giant pot). I've gently rubbed its tip (spring 2010) and it now seems to be preparing to branch (yippee). I've planted strawberries all around the pot to act as a living mulch

Alas, no branching ... but LOADS of fruit. In Jan 2012 I've had to remove over a dozen the size of apricots to stop them weighing down the plant. I've added support to stop the remaining fruit from bending the plant to the ground (I intend to thin down to 1-2 fruit, but want to see how they develp first)

Home grown mangos are the ultimate! so much flavour packed into a little fruit! Delicious!

Hi bj why do u gently rub the tip? Does this make it want to flower

Oh too make it branch. Rather than topping it.

Your story is so encouraging, this is exactly what I want to do - buy 2 different Mango trees and place them in 51cm Pots. The Palmer Mano and this one sound fine!

What climate do you live in? I want to know if they grow in greenhouses in cool temperate climates?

just planted at 4 ft tall, but feeling good as researched it's yield v high, resistance to disease good, and good for people who want lots of fruit trees as only grows 2-3 m tall. Dug a hole almost 1m cubed, filled with well draining compost and soil, so it should be happy.

Growing: In the Ground
