Mango Tree

Given the correct growing conditions this is a very vigorous grower with an upright habit and compact canopy, and can reach in excess of 30 feet (9 metres)!  In the UK  it is grown in a pot and should be kept pruned to a manageable size. Place on a sunny patio in the summer and move to a conservatory in the winter. Mangoes need as much warmth and sunshine as possible in order to flower, although it may take some years to establish itself before it begins to flower and fruit.

Wrinkling of the skin means the fruit is ripe.

• Requires warm conditions, and plenty of sun in order to flower.
