The mango (Mangifera indica) is a very popular tropical fruit. The luxuriant growth of its evergreen leaves also make the tree ideal for providing shade in the home garden. Considerable space is required, however, as the tree grows quickly and can reach a height of up to 15 m with a spread of about the same dimension.

Growing conditions
Mangoes can be grown successfully along the coastal strip of Queensland, from the New South Wales border to the far north of the State, and in the immediate hinterland east of the Dividing Range. For good crops to be produced, dry weather is essential during the blossoming period and while the fruit is developing, but frequent supplementary waterings are needed at this time.

Good wet-season rain or extra watering is desirable during the summer growing season (January to April), but to encourage dormancy, watering should be limited from the end of April to July, when flowering begins.

The mango tree is not frost-hardy, but can usually be established in areas subject to light frosts, provided it is given protection until established. When mature, the tree tolerates light ground frosts.

Soil
The tree is adaptable to many soil types, but good drainage is essential. Deep well-drained sandy soils are preferred.

Varieties
Of the several different strains of mangoes found in Queensland, the most widely grown are Kensington Pride (also known as Bowen Special) and the common mango.

The mango (Mangifera indica) is generally described as a Perennial Tree. This is not native to the U.S. (United States)and has its most active growth period in the Year Round . The Mango has Green foliage and conspicuous Yellow flowers, with conspicuous Orange fruits or seeds. The greatest bloom is usually observed in the Late Winter, with fruit and seed production starting in the Summer and continuing until Summer. Leaves are retained year to year. The Mango has a Long life span relative to most other plant species and a Moderate growth rate. At maturity, the typical Mango will reach up to 65 feet high, with a maximum height at 20 years of 65 feet.

The Mango is easily found in nurseries, garden stores and other plant dealers and distributors. It can be propagated by Container and Seed. Note that cold stratification is not required for seed germination and the plant cannot survive exposure to temperatures below 17°F. Mango has Medium tolerance to drought and restricted water conditions.

If you live in a climate that is favorable to mango plants, you can plant and grow your own mango tree and enjoy the sweet, vitamin-packed tropical fruit for years on end. With a little time and patience, it is quite easy to grow a mango tree from seed or from a small plant. Try your hand at gardening this tropical fruit, and you'll be raising a full-sized tree in no time.

they are tropical fruit trees, prone to fungi and scale insect attacks. they can grow from seeds, but it would be better if from marcotting . the sweetest type of mangos from my experience is the apple mango which is characterised by it's round apple -like shape.
