How to grow mango trees
Where to plant and place your mango tree
Mango trees are native to tropical locations, so they are best grown in full sun. They can be grown in pots too. Mango trees have long tap roots, so choose a pot at least 45cm (18″) deep to accommodate the roots.
Nurturing and caring for your mango tree
As your mango tree grows, pot it on into larger pots filled with a free-draining compost such as cactus compost.
Keep the temperature around your mango tree at 21°C (70°F), with a minimum temperature of 4°C (40°F). Mist indoor trees regularly. Feed pot-grown mango trees once a month with a liquid feed in the growing season and water when the top few inches of compost in the pot has dried out.
Repot your mango tree every few years if it becomes root-bound. Remove it from its pot and place it in a larger pot, making sure the trunk of the tree is at the same depth in the new pot. Fill around the rootball with fresh potting compost and water well.
How to prune a mango tree
You should prune mature mango trees in late summer. Remove any dead or crossing branches, and thin the canopy as necessary to allow air and sunlight to reach the remaining branches.
