🥭 How to take care of a mango tree in winter

• 
  

  ❄️ Watering

During winter, mango trees need minimal watering. Overwatering can cause root rot, especially when temperatures are low. Water the tree only when the soil feels dry about 2 inches deep.

• 
  

  ❄️ Fertilizing

Avoid feeding in the winter with dry fertilizer. It may cause root burn, plus encourages new growth that is more susceptible to cold damage. Wait until spring when the weather warms up to resume heavy feeding your tree. You can continue using Sunshine Boosters natural liquid fertilizers - Sunshine Mango Tango: it is safe to apply year around since its intake is regulated by reduced water, and only the necessary amount of essential elements will be delivered.

• 
  

  ❄️ Temperature Protection

Mango trees are sensitive to cold. If you live in a region with freezing temperatures, move your mango tree indoors or to a sheltered location like a garage with a bright light source. If it's in a small container, consider bringing it inside for the winter.

• 
  

  ❄️ Sunlight

Ensure the tree gets as much sunlight as possible. If indoors, place it near a South-facing window where it can soak up the sun during the day.

❄️ Check for Pests

Winter can bring pests indoors. Regularly inspect the tree for any signs of insect problems around the leaves and stems.

By following these guidelines, your mango tree will be healthier and better prepared for the next growing season.

🌈 Mango Rainbow tasting table: what's the taste of that Mango variety?

🥭 We just had a mango tasting table of a few early and mid-season varieties and here is our impression:

• 🟠 Tommy Atkins (purple) - the earliest variety, sweet a juicy, but a bit fibrous. The fruit is super colorful! The tree is an excellent producer, vigorous and problem-free.
• 🟠 Haden (red) - a full sweet flavor, less fibrous than Tommy. Very colorful, large fruit.
• 🟠 Florigon (yellow-green, round) - completely fibreless, sweet and flavor is somewhat mild pineapple-like.
• 🟠 Baptiste (bright yellow) - very sweet, firm flesh, good flavor.
• 🟠 Val Carrie (green elongated) - reminds large Asian mangoes, with firm flesh, very sweet, fibreless and juicy. It is a cross between Valencia Pride (large fruit) and Carrie (excellent flavor). It took the best from its parents. Very aromatic flesh has no fiber at all.
• 🟠 Kent (large green-and-red) - excellent flavor, large size, and very little fiber. Eat before fruit gets too ripe.

• 🥭 As a true Condo Mango, Carrie stays naturally small with a dense, manageable canopy and minimal pruning. It’s perfect for containers, patios, and small yards, while still producing reliably year after year. More 👉

Mango Rainbow: a miniature Angie 🌈

• 
  🥭 Angie mango is a South Florida selection named after Angie Whitman, wife of the legendary mango collector Bill Whitman and a trustee of Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden.
• 
  🥭 It is prized for its rich, complex flavor in the Alphonso class, with deep sweetness and layered apricot notes. The fruit is oblong, about 1 lb on average, with smooth yellow to orange skin and an Indian-orange blush on sun-exposed shoulders. The flesh is deep tangerine orange, fiberless, and intensely flavorful.

  🥭 Trees are semi-dwarf, good as Condo Mango, highly manageable with pruning, and known for excellent disease resistance. Its early season is another major advantage in South Florida, often allowing fruit to mature before the heavy summer rains. More 👉
