Definition:
Mango is a tropical fruit of the Mango tree.Mangoes have been cultivated in South Asia for thousands of years that it is native to the Asian continent Mango trees make handsome landscape specimens and shade trees. They are erect and fast growing with sufficient heat.
Adaptation: Mangos basically require a frost-free climate. Flowers and small fruit can be killed if
temperatures drop below 40° F, but mature trees may withstand very short periods of temperatures as low as 25° F. The mango must have warm, dry weather to set fruit Pollinators are flies, hoverflies,but do not fertilize after midsummer. Organic fertilizers perform best.
Frost Protection: During the first two years, the trees should be given some protection such as an overhead cover during any frost threat. Once the tree is 3 to 4 feet high, overhead protection is difficult but still worthwhile, especially if an unusual cold snap is predicted. Frost damage can also be avoided by erecting an overhead lath shelter, Do not prune dead parts until all frost danger is past.
