Plant arrived in May 2020 in great condition with soil still damp. Will plant this into a pot after 1-2 weeks outside and provide updates. 

We will see how it copes with winter in Toowoomba - may have to bring it inside on cool nights

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. 

Planted: 2016

Growing: In a Pot

Dwarf Mango - Irwin (Grafted) ^7/10

Comments: - Grafted this one myself after learning the skill for my PhD. Growing like a weed, getting a new vegetative flush pretty much every fortnight. Am going to let it get a bit taller then decapitate to force lateral buds to keep the height down. Growing in a 100L pot because I rent. Come the dry season I'm going to have a crack at inducing flowering using foliar Potassium nitrate.

Question: Will I get fruit if it is in a 100L pot?

I love my little Mango Tree__ She is simply gorgeous! She came 2 weeks before Spring 2015 so carefully packed. She travelled very well and is still happy. She has four lots of leaves now and I would love to get another one. I am growing all Dwarf Fruit Trees in 51cm Green Pots. If I shift, I can take them with me. And it is possible to have a Mini Orchard this way plus more variety.

I will place a picture here early next year. I am using SoilCharge Organic Fertilizer for my fruit trees and veges.....it has naturally occurring trace elements and you can use it once a month instead of once each season. I like that idea better. I also have a special water filter that clicks onto the garden hose - it omits chlorine so your plants can benefit more from the water.
