Mango trees can tolerate a wide range of climates where optimal temperatures should be between 27°C to 36°C. Our nursery saplings should produce fruits within it´s first 4 years. A mango tree planted from seed requires four to eight years before it will bear fruit.

How do you keep a mango tree small?
Before the End of 2019 we added young Mango Trees to our Food Forest. Mango trees are deep-rooted plants that can grow into massive trees. Pruning the mango tree when it is still small and just above your knee height. This encourages the tree to form a lower canopy.
