That is probably one of the most asked questions in mango grower circles. Well, the best type of mango tree is the one that grows the variety that you like the best. The only way to know this is to eat as many tree ripened varieties as you can and then make your selections. Be sure to buy a grafted mango tree as it is the only sure way to get the variety you are wanting. Mango trees can be grown from seed, but there is no guarantee that the new tree will be anything at all like the parent plant.
It depends on your climate, space, and taste preferences. See our mango variety comparison guide to help you decide. Contact us and we'll help select perfect mango for your needs.

Mango trees typically flower in spring and begin fruiting in summer, depending on your climate and variety. Most grafted trees begin to produce fruit in 2–4 years. Mango trees need consistent warmth and sunlight to set fruit properly.
Mango trees thrive in full sun. They require at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily to produce healthy growth and fruit. Insufficient light can lead to poor flowering and reduced yield. If growing in a container, place the tree where it gets the most sunlight possible.
Mango trees are sensitive to cold and should be protected from temperatures below freezing. Prolonged exposure to freezing temperatures can damage or kill the tree. Young trees are especially vulnerable, but mature trees may survive short frosts with some leaf or branch loss. Dwarf varieties in containers can be brought indoors during cold snaps.
Standard mango trees can reach 30–40 feet tall when planted in the ground. However, most home growers choose semi-dwarf or dwarf condo varieties, which stay around 10–15 feet tall and are easier to manage. In containers, growth can be kept even smaller through pruning.

Mango trees are quite tropical in nature and are suited for growing in the ground in USDA zones 10 and up. They do not like temperatures under 35-40° F and can be damaged by frost. Temperatures that are under freezing can kill mango trees if they are young and unprotected. A mature mango tree will likely survive a freeze, but will sustain some damage to leaves and limbs. If you are in a location that is a little cooler, you may find that growing one of the dwarf mango tree varieties will work for you. You can keep them in a pot and simply bring them in when temps get too low. Dwarf varieties can be kept to a smaller size and will still produce some fruit when growing in a container.
Water newly planted mango trees every few days during the first few weeks. After establishment, water once a week during dry periods for the first 2–3 years. Mature mango trees (5+ years old) generally only need watering during extended droughts. Too much watering can cause root stress or reduce fruit quality. Avoid irrigating during fall and winter unless there's an unusual dry spell. Always adjust watering based on your soil type and climate.
For young mango trees in the ground, apply a balanced fertilizer every 2 to 3 months during the first year. Start with about 1/4 lb and gradually increase to 1 lb per application as the tree grows. Look for blends like 6-6-6-2 or 6-3-16, which contain nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and magnesium. As the tree matures, reduce nitrogen and focus on potassium to improve fruiting—use low-nitrogen mixes.
In addition to base fertilizers, apply micronutrients such as zinc, iron, manganese, magnesium, and boron at least once per year. These can be added as foliar sprays or soil amendments depending on your soil pH. For alkaline soils, use chelated forms (like FeEDDHA) for iron. Avoid over-fertilizing and never exceed label rates.
If you're not sure which mix to choose, check your soil type or ask your local garden center for a mango-friendly blend. Regular feeding combined with good watering and full sun will ensure your mango tree thrives.
Potted mango trees need more frequent feeding than those planted in the ground. Use a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer with extra potassium and micronutrients to support fruiting and reduce stress from container conditions. It is especially important for young trees to develop strong roots in limited soil volume.
We recommend SUNSHINE Mango Tango, which is gentle enough to use with every watering, year-round. If using a dry, slow-release fertilizer, apply it every 4 to 6 weeks during the growing season and avoid fertilizing in winter when the tree is not actively growing.
Absolutely! Dwarf and condo mango trees are perfect for container growing. They thrive in pots when placed in full sun and given good drainage. This makes them ideal for patios, balconies, or small yards. Many customers in cooler zones grow them in containers and bring them inside during winter. Even in pots, mango trees can produce delicious fruit with the right care. Explore mango trees for container growing.
Yes - with proper care and the right variety. Dwarf mango trees can be grown indoors if they get enough light, ideally from a south-facing window or grow light. Indoor trees should be placed in large containers with good drainage and fed regularly during active growth. While fruiting indoors is possible, indoor mango trees are best used as seasonal growers - kept indoors during cold months and outdoors during warm weather. Check our indoor-suitable mango varieties.
Mango trees typically flower from winter through spring and begin fruiting in late spring through summer, depending on the variety and growing conditions. Most grafted mango trees begin flowering right away, and even young trees in 1- to 3-gallon containers may set fruit their first season. However, it's recommended to remove early fruit from small trees to avoid exhausting the plant.
You can expect a reliable first crop within 1 to 3 years after planting a grafted mango tree. To produce well, mango trees need consistent warmth, full sunlight, and relatively dry conditions during the flowering and fruiting period.
No, mango trees are self-pollinating. You only need one tree to enjoy fruit. While having multiple mango trees may slightly improve yield due to cross-pollination from insects, a single healthy, grafted mango tree will produce fruit on its own. This makes mango a great choice for small gardens, patios, or even container growing if you're limited on space.
Mango trees are relatively low-maintenance, but can occasionally attract scale, aphids, or fungal issues like anthracnose. Good air circulation, proper watering, and periodic sprays of neem oil or fungicide can help prevent problems. Healthy trees grown in full sun are more resistant to pests.
