M-4 Mango Tree 7G - Urban Abundance

M-4 Mango Tree in 7-Gallon Pot Available in Jupiter, FL

The M-4 Mango (Mangifera indica 'M-4') is a standout dessert mango with intensely sweet, coconut-flavored flesh and buttery, fiberless texture. A favorite among mango connoisseurs and late-season fruit lovers, M-4 was developed in Florida and bred for flavor, not mass market shelf-life—making it one of the most sought-after “home orchard” varieties. Its fruit is medium to large, typically ripening when most other mangoes are winding down.

In a 7-gallon pot, this M-4 mango is well-rooted and ready to deliver rich, late-season flavor to your South Florida garden or edible landscape.

Care & Growing Info (Optimized for South Florida):

Sunlight: Full sun—6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight daily. Needs ample light for strong fruit set and flavor development.

Watering: Moderate. Water deeply and infrequently. Allow topsoil to dry slightly between waterings, especially in containers.

Soil: Well-draining sandy or loamy soil. Enrich with compost or aged organic matter for fertility and moisture retention.

Fertilizer: Use a mango-specific or balanced tropical fruit fertilizer 3–4 times per year. Add potassium and trace minerals during bloom and fruiting.

Growth Habit: Medium-sized, spreading canopy. Grows 15–25 feet in-ground. Can be pruned to 10–12 feet. 7-gallon trees are typically 3–4 feet tall.

Temperature: USDA Zones 10–11. Well-suited for South Florida’s heat and humidity. Protect from cold snaps under 40°F while young.

Maintenance: Moderate. Light pruning after harvest supports airflow and tree shape. Good resistance to anthracnose, especially with proper spacing and care.

Harvest & Seasonality:

Planting Time: Best planted in spring or fall, though adaptable to year-round planting with proper care.

Harvest Time: Late season—typically July through August in South Florida.

How to Harvest: Pick when fruit softens slightly and turns from green to golden blush. Allow to ripen fully off the tree for peak coconut-sweet flavor.

Seasonal Notes: Known for excellent post-harvest flavor and consistent yield. Late-season timing extends mango harvest into summer’s end.
