whats this zone talk? im in riverside california.. i planted a seed from a mango i ate and its starting to look like a baby tree now lol!..not sure if conditions are good enough to bare fruit but we will see.. i figure trees are like snakes.. they will only grow as big as the pots you put it in..so 5 10gal pot might get a 6ft tree.. im planning on keeping mine in a pot so it stunts the growth and hopefully produces fruit faster then it would if it was in the ground..i hear these trees get over 100ft tall! my neighbors proly wouldnt like that 2 much haha..good luck!

Ajay,

If you go to the "Tropical Fruits Forum"...there's a lot of info on growing mango in Containers. I have several planted in the ground and one growing in a 22" container going on three years this September. I'm in FL, zone 9, It is fruiting for the very first time. Not sure if it will hold...but I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

I have mine in fast draining mix, mango trees doesn't like to be kept wet(soggy). So I water mine very well...then let most of it dry out before watering well again. I don't use bagged soil, I mix my own, I used Al's(tapla) from the "container forum" equal parts of pine bark fines, turface and grit,coarse Perlite or very coarse silica sand(not fine sand). There are many different mixes out there...lots of advise,but this has worked very well for me. Good luck with your new trees!

Here's mine...

Here is my blog with mango trees I got a few months ago. They survived this past harsh winter we had.

Also heard manilla are pretty hardy as far as mangos go
