💬 Ways to protect mango trees from cold

• 
  🔹 Right location: Plant in sunny areas with protection from cold winds.
• 
  🔹 Cover them up: Use blankets or frost cloth to protect young trees.
• 
  🔹 Add mulch: Helps keep the roots warm during cold weather.
• 
  🔹 Move potted trees: Bring them inside when it gets too cold.

  🔹 Use Sunshine Boosters to improve tree hardiness
