Care & Growing Info (Optimized for South Florida):

Sunlight: Full sun—at least 6 to 8 hours daily. A sunny location ensures strong flowering, dense canopy growth, and excellent fruit color.

Watering: Moderate. Water deeply and infrequently. Allow topsoil to dry slightly before watering again. Avoid overwatering, especially in pots.

Soil: Well-draining sandy or loamy soil. Enrich with compost or aged organic matter. Avoid waterlogged or heavy clay soils.

Fertilizer: Apply mango-specific fertilizer 3–4 times per year. During bloom and fruiting, supplement with potassium and micronutrients like magnesium and sulfur.

Growth Habit: Compact, upright, and elegant. Typically reaches 12–20 feet in-ground but can be maintained smaller with pruning. Excellent canopy for small gardens. 7-gallon trees are generally 3–4 feet tall.

Temperature: USDA Zones 10–11. Thrives in South Florida’s subtropical climate. Protect young trees from rare cold snaps below 35°F.

Maintenance: Low to moderate. Prune lightly after harvest to maintain airflow and structure. Apply copper fungicide preventively during rainy periods to avoid fungal issues.

Harvest & Seasonality:

Planting Time: Best planted in spring or fall, though year-round planting is possible with consistent irrigation and mulching.

Harvest Time: June through July in South Florida. A reliable mid-season variety with exceptional fruit-holding quality.

How to Harvest: Pick when the shoulder of the fruit begins to rise and color shifts slightly. Let ripen at room temperature indoors for best flavor.
