About Mango
Mango trees form broad, dense evergreen canopies with new growth flushing bronze or red. Panicles of small flowers in late winter and spring are followed by fruit in summer. For home gardens, grafted cultivars are recommended: they fruit within a few years, stay more compact and produce fruit true to type, whereas seedlings are slow and variable.
In humid climates choose anthracnose-tolerant cultivars, and keep trees to a manageable height with annual pruning after harvest.
Did you know? Mango has been cultivated in South Asia for thousands of years.
