🏆 Three must-have fruit for every tropical garden

🍍Pineapple is a tropical favorite that's incredibly easy to grow, making it a perfect choice for beginners. With minimal care, Pineapples don't take mush space, you can grown them underneath other fruit trees. Plant good varieties, and when you get your crop, plant the tops and you will have your little Pineapple plantation in no time: you'll enjoy sweet, juicy fruit from those little babies in about 18-24 months. Freshly harvested pineapples are delightful in smoothies, salads, or grilled, adding a tropical flair to your garden.

Mango trees are not only a staple in tropical gardens but are also easy to cultivate. They flourish in sunny spots and well-drained soil, requiring little maintenance once established. These vigorous trees can yield an abundance of juicy, flavorful fruit in just a few years. They are perfect for fresh eating or adding to salsas and chutneys. Condo varieties are dwarf trees and can be grown in containers.

Avocado trees are fun to grow and add both beauty and nutrition to tropical gardens. Grafted cultivars start yielding fruit within a few months with proper care. The rich, creamy avocados are a culinary favorite, perfect for salads, spreads, and smoothies. With their lush foliage and bountiful harvests, avocado trees are a fantastic choice for gardeners looking for ease and abundance.

How to protect Mango Trees from Cold Weather

🌞 Mango trees love warm weather. They grow best in temperatures between 70F to 100F.

📍 Cold weather can be harmful to mango trees: when the temperature drops below freezing, trees can get damaged. Frost can hurt young leaves and flowers, reducing the amount of fruit.

💬 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

➡ Fertilized mango trees are stronger and more resilient.

• ➡ They grow faster and have better root systems, making them more hardy against cold weather.
• ➡ Sunshine Boosters provide the essential nutrients needed for strength and vigor, helping plants recover faster from cold damage.

Sunshine Boosters "Mango Tango" makes mango trees stronger and more resistant to cold. A well-fed tree can survive cold better and produce more fruit. With Sunshine Boosters, you ensure your mango trees stay healthy, even in chilly weather!

🌈 Mango Rainbow tasting table-2: what's the taste of that Mango variety?

We've had another mango tasting table and asked participants to describe the taste in a few words. And this is what we got:

• 🟠 Haden - mild, melting, classic heavenly mango flavor,dark yellow flesh, almost fiberless.
• 🟠 Ugly Betty - opposite to the name, the taste is excellent , juicy, melting, sweet.
• 🟠 Cotton Candy - true candy, fiberless, sweet, melting.
• 🟠 Madame Fransis - dark orange pulp, slightly fibrous, robust, meaty like a steak, good with cognac. A little pulpy but unique flavor.
• 🟠 Diamond - bright yellow, fiberless, sugary, juicy, no pulp at all, classic mango taste, good with ice cream, "wow" taste!
• 🟠 Pickering - zesty, waterfall: all the flavors come at once, eat with White wine and/or a cake. Oval fruit somewhat flat, very large for a dwarf tree!
• 🟠 Baptiste - hint of citrus, melts in your mouth, dark orange flesh, crisp, eat with Red wine and cheese.
• 🟠 Florigon - creamy, buttery, spicy. Eat with Ice cream!
• 🟠 Tommy Atkins - has a bit zing to it, perfect consistency, perfect taste. Super colorful, crimson red to purple skin!
• 🟠 Nam Doc Mai - gold standard! Perfect every day.
• 🟠 Carry - tastes even better than all others, smooth buttery, lite!

What is the biggest mango fruit?

🔍 We discovered one of the biggest Mango fruit after we planted this new variety - Kiew Yai.

Right now the fruit is almost a foot long!

⏳ The tree was planted in April - only 3 months ago.

😋 Looking forward to tasting it soon and sharing our taste impressions with you. Stay with us!

⬆️ Reminder: In order to have good quality fruit, your Mango tree must be grafted. Grafted varieties start fruiting right away, while seedlings may take from 7 to 10 years to fruit and the taste of the seedling's fruit will always be a surprise, they may be small in size and very fibrous.

How India grows most of the mangoes in the world.

• 📍 India grows 45% of all the mangoes in the world. However, exports account for only 1% of international trade - almost all the mangoes are consumed locally by the residents.
• 📍 Mango import in the US limited by only easy-to-ship, fibrous varieties such as Tommy Atkins.
• 📍 To enjoy the full palette of mango varieties, you need to grow your own tree or buy fruit from local growers in southern areas.
