🌳 Why Large Grafted Trees Are Better

These are not seedlings — they’re grafted trees, which means you get the true variety with known flavor, quality, and performance. Large grafted trees give you a real head start:

  • Already mature with a strong root system.
  • Handle transplanting and weather shifts with ease.
  • Can bloom and fruit in the first or second season.

No guessing, no waiting years — you’ll get the exact fruit you want, sooner.

    For Indoor and Patio Growers

    No space for a full orchard? You can still grow your own tropical paradise! Our large grafted Condo Mango trees adapt beautifully to big containers on patios, balconies, and sunrooms. They stay compact, flower sooner, and can fruit even in pots when given good light and warmth.

    Bring the tropics indoors — move your tree outside for summer sun, then back inside before frost. It’s the perfect way to enjoy homegrown fruit wherever you live.

    Give your garden a smart start this season. Large grafted Mango trees are ready — but only for a short time before winter.

    👉 Plant now, harvest sooner, and enjoy the true variety!

    Plant Care Tips by Top Tropicals Plant Expert Tatiana Anderson

    Large grafted Mango trees are easy to establish.

    • Soil: Well-drained, rich mix — avoid heavy clay.
    • Water: Deeply once or twice a week after the tree is established; keep soil evenly moist during the first few weeks after planting.
    • Light: Full sun or bright patio spot.
    • Feeding: Use balanced fertilizer Sunshine Boosters Mango Tango with every watering and Green Magic controlled release fertilizer every 6 months for steady growth.
    • Protection: Cover on cold nights for the first winter.

    Plant once, care lightly, and your tree will reward you with fast growth and early fruit.

    🌳 Big Trees, Local Pickup Only

    For our local gardeners, we have something special. Extra-large 15- and 25-gallon Mango trees. These are full, mature specimens that simply can’t be shipped, but they’re perfect for local pickup or delivery.

    Instant Impact and Faster Fruit

    These trees already have strong trunks, big root systems, and start blooming next Spring. Plant one in your yard and it instantly looks like it’s been there for years.

    Delivery and Installation

    We offer local delivery and professional installation for large trees in the nearby area. Our team can bring the tree to your garden, position it correctly, and help with planting and setup.

    👉 Contact us to arrange delivery and installation for your 15- or 25-gallon tree.

    Limited Availability: Quantities are small, and these big trees go fast — once sold, they won’t be available again until next growing season.

    "Large grafted trees give you a head start — they’re stronger, settle in faster, and can reward you with fruit the very next season," says Tatiana Anderson

PeopleCats saving us from COVID-19!

Cat owners have higher immunity for COVID-19?

In our previous newsletter, we were talking about cats fighting the coronavirus and how to help them to recover.
The research made by Sabina Olex-Condor, a Polish doctor who works in a clinic in Madrid, showed that due to cross-immunity (cats are a known reservoir of coronaviruses) cat owners have milder sympthoms of COVID-19! Perhaps this is due to the fact that in a cross-reaction antibodies are produced to the virus, and owners of cats are more protected from COVID19... Read more)
Now that quarantine has been introduced almost universally because of coronavirus, dog owners are also in a better position - they can officially go outside for a short while. But the benefit of dogs (and other pets) is not only that. Scientists from the Italian city of Catanzaro found in the course of the study, that those who have a four-legged pet, have very mild symptoms of the COVID-19. A similar effect was observed in those in contact with cattle... To find an explanation for this phenomenon, the researchers compared viruses. It turned out that the disease of bulls, cows and other cattle is similar to Chinese coronavirus by 38.4%, and the virus of dogs by 36.9%. This means that owners of animals already have some kind of immunity. So the owners of cats and dogs, as a rule, tolerate coronavirus easier or completely asymptomatic. Read more...

Stay safe and healthy with your PetPeople!
