🥭 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.

🍷 What Guava variety is the best for Guava Vine

• 🍷 Araca Pera, or Brazilian Guava tree (Psidium x angulatum), is a unique Guava hybrid of a flavorful wild guava from the Brazilian Amazon which is rare in cultivation.
• 🍷 These fruit are 1.5-2", with an acidic, sour guava-like flavor. Its juice is concentrated and must be diluted and sweetened to produce a delicious drink.
• 🍷 It is the major source of a special Guava Wine production. Our favorite Guava Wine is from Schnebly Redland's Winery - this is where we obtained the seeds from their mother plants. This refreshing and vibrant rose wine is full of flavor and has a bouquet that never stops.
• 🍷 The fruit is processed into ice cream sorbet, gelatins and candies.
• 🍷 A great container specimen or a bushy tree for frost-free gardens.
