Hi Sam

I don't think that there are any specific Mango varieties currently available that are well-suited to growing in Melbourne. However some people do seem to succeed with them here.

There is an established tree, probably a seed grown Bowen, that has fruited in Springvale over a number of years. One of the other growers here in Melbourne is having good growth with Nam Doc and it seems to be flourishing much better than the Kensington for instance.

There are some cold hardy varieties being cultivated in Europe which I am trying to get seeds. Apparently they are polyembrionic and the seeds grow true to type.
