🥭 Mango Tree for Zone 5: top 15 Condo Mango for growing in cold areas
- 🥭 Can you grow a mango tree in Zone 5? Short answer - yes! The trick is - containers! Mango trees are tropical plants but they do great in pots when you choose the right varieties.
- 🥭 Compact types stay short, respond well to pruning, and produce in containers. You can grow them on a patio, balcony, even move them indoors in your condo for winter. That is why they are called condo mangoes!
- 🥭 With good light, proper watering, fertilizing, and some patience, these trees can reward you with real mangoes. Not a farm harvest, but enough to enjoy and share.
During warm months, they live outside.
When cold weather hits, they come inside.

Mango Talk: How to prune mango trees for best shape and production
by Ed Jones, the Booster Guy
...Why should you prune your mango trees? There are a few reasons.
First, a good foundation is the key to strong growth and a shapely tree.
Second, if you get your mango tree started off on the right foot with a
strong foundation, it becomes much easier to keep it shaped nicely.
And third - it will be forced to produce more branches allowing for more
places for fruit production...
...We received our Mango tree in late February of 2020 as a relatively
small plant in 3 gal pot...
...The opening photo was taken just last week and you can see that as she
grows, her shape is very nice...
...She is now about 7' tall and just as wide. She has a great foundation
and a lot of branches. We also have less grass to mow. She also got her very
own marker painted on a brick:
...We have also enlarged the circle of mulched area under the tree to allow it to be able to get nutrients from it's SUNSHINE Boosters Mango Tango without having to compete with the grass. This is one mistake that I see frequently in my neighborhood with all trees...
