Jakarta Mango Tree 7G - Urban Abundance

Jakarta Mango Tree in 7-Gallon Pot Available in Jupiter, FL

Deeply aromatic, richly flavored, and uniquely beautiful, the Jakarta Mango (Mangifera indica 'Jakarta') is a standout among mango lovers who crave complexity and visual appeal. This mid-to-late season variety offers medium-sized fruit with dusky red skin, orange flesh, and a rich, spicy-sweet taste that’s often compared to fruit punch with hints of resin and spice.

Perfectly suited to South Florida’s climate, the Jakarta Mango tree is vigorous, productive, and a prized addition to any edible landscape or tropical fruit collection. The 7-gallon pot size offers a strong, healthy young tree already on its way to summer abundance.

Care & Growing Info (Optimized for South Florida):

Sunlight: Full sun—at least 6 to 8 hours per day. Direct light is essential for strong fruit production and rich color.

Watering: Moderate. Water deeply but infrequently—allow soil to dry slightly between waterings. Well-drained soil is critical.

Soil: Loose, sandy or loamy soil with excellent drainage. Improve fertility with compost or worm castings. Avoid soggy or compacted spots.

Fertilizer: Feed with a mango-specific fertilizer 3–4 times per year. During bloom and fruiting, add potassium and trace minerals to improve fruit flavor and health.

Growth Habit: Upright and moderately vigorous. Reaches 15–25 feet in-ground. Easily kept smaller with strategic pruning. Trees in 7-gallon pots are typically 3–4 feet tall.

Temperature: USDA Zones 10–11. Thrives in South Florida heat and humidity. Protect young trees during rare cold events below 35°F.

Maintenance: Moderate. Annual post-harvest pruning maintains shape and airflow. During wet seasons, use copper fungicide preventatively for anthracnose or powdery mildew.

Harvest & Seasonality:

Planting Time: Best planted in spring or fall in South Florida. Can be planted year-round with consistent watering and mulch.

Harvest Time: Typically July through August. Offers a mid-to-late season harvest window.

How to Harvest: Pick when fruit begins to soften slightly or shows color change. Ripen indoors at room temperature.

Seasonal Notes: Excellent companion to early varieties like Sunrise or mid-season types like Valencia Pride to extend your mango season.

Medicinal & Nutritional Benefits:

Jakarta mangos are rich in Vitamins A and C, fiber, and antioxidants like beta-carotene and polyphenols. They promote immune function, skin health, and digestion. The spicy-sweet taste reflects the presence of beneficial terpenes that support inflammation regulation and cellular health.
