Did you grow it from seed? Ive had many getting off to a wonderful start in my worm farm but thought that they wouldnt do here in Warragul. ive got one thats come up with the compost from the worm farm in my large mint pot. think I'll just keep it all well fed and see what happens .

Yes, it is grown from seed. I think they should also survive in Warragul. Cheers!

thanks Linton, Ive certainly got nothing to lose by trying.

Lemon Drop Mangosteen (Seedling) ^5/10

Comments: - Looked nice and survived winter in ground without protection but then died in spring following a cold night although it sruvived mych colder nights in winter. Maybe the accumilative effect of cold and wind.

Mango - Bowen Seedling (Seedling) ^7/10

Comments: -

Mangoes are one of my favourite fruits. Love tropical plants and growing them in Melbourne is a challenge but also quite rewarding when it's successful.

I had blossoms and tiny fruits on my mango tree in the second and third year but all the fruits fell. Does anyone have any advice on how to look after the blossoms and to get some fruits from mango tree.

Mango - R2E2 (Grafted) ^8/10

Comments: -

Mangoes are one of my favourite fruit, but will probably need a lot of luck to successfully grow one this far south.

UPDATE: it has flowers! Will pick the panicles off but just stoked it has survived (let alone has flowers), particularly after such a cold Winter.

I Love mangoes. Growing well in Melbourne.

Dwarf Mango - King Thai

Comments: - I have a few mango trees that grow in pots and ground. They did ok in Melbourne but grew very slowly and suffered some die back in winter. I had 2 mango trees planted in ground died. New growth emerged around late November and easily burnt by hot summer sun. So they need protection from frost and sun while they are young.

Mango - Bowen Seedling (Seedling) ^9/10

Comments: - Trying to grow one here in Melbourne. Received an 18 month old seedling in a 70mm grow-tube during the winter this year and has been repotted into a 300mm pot.  I took it indoors at night  as it was quite cold. Its begining to push some new gowth as the weather warms up.  Will update regularly.

Susceptible to anthracnose

Like hot dry spring, summer. Night temp of 14c for flowers to set fruits. Cut all flowers off, if you want your tree to flower later. It takes 100-150d from flowers to harvest depending on mango cv

Like full sun (up to 45c), sandy loam soil, med-low wind resistant
