FAQs
Can I leave the mango tree outdoors all year?
No. The tree is not frost-hardy and must be moved indoors or to a heated greenhouse once temperatures drop near 4C.
Do I need a second tree to get fruit?
No, this is a self-fertile variety, so it can produce fruit on its own.
What kind of soil is best for this tree?
Use a fertile, well-draining potting compost to ensure the roots do not sit in excess water.
How large will the tree grow?
While supplied at 65-90cm, the tree's growth is naturally restricted by the container size, making it suitable for patio life.
When is the fruit typically ready to harvest?
In ideal conditions, the fruit typically ripens between July and September.
Troubleshooting
Leaves turning yellow and dropping
This is often a sign of overwatering or poor drainage. Ensure the pot has drainage holes and allow the compost to dry slightly between waterings.
Plant not producing flowers
The tree likely needs more direct sunlight or is experiencing temperatures that are too low. Move it to the sunniest spot available.
Brown or crispy leaf tips
This typically indicates low humidity or underwatering. Mist the leaves occasionally if kept in a dry greenhouse environment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Upon arrival, ensure your tree is planted into a high-quality, fertile, and well-drained compost. Use a large, sturdy container that provides enough room for roots to expand, ensuring there are adequate drainage holes at the base to prevent waterlogging.
Watering: Water the tree deeply to saturate the root ball, but allow the top few centimeters of compost to dry out before watering again to avoid root rot.
Feeding: During the growing season, a balanced liquid fertilizer can help sustain the tree's health and fruit production.
Winter Care: Always bring the container indoors before the first frost. Place it in the brightest available location—such as a conservatory window—to minimize leaf drop during the low-light winter period.
