Generally about 4-5 months, depending on the variety and your heat units; but mangos can also be eaten green.

That is an incredible variety!! Sweet and fiberless...delicious!

Mangos are not difficult in containers but this is a first for flowering. Among (sub) tropicals other than Citrus, I also grow ruby red guava, dwarf papaya, pomegranate, figs (outside), bananas, and two rescue avocados that had sprouted in my compost pile and grew to almost a foot over summer (just got those in pots).

subtropix,

Have fun with your seed grown avocados; but don't expect to get avocados. The odds are less than 1 in 4 that they will ever produce; but having two in the same place increases the odds. My Mother once grew a tree and it produced fruits; so she said, "See, you were wrong". I wasn't wrong, she was just lucky.

Do you have any idea of how much I want to grow one again...???

I had a Glenn, yup, all the way up here in New England and I did get fruit set..Then the fruit grew about the size of a half dollar..It was getting there and boy was I so proud of myself..Then the squirrels back then got wind of it that I had that tree and decided to steal the fruit and then toss the entire plant off my roof! I could not pick that poor thing up off the hot pavement until I got home at the end of the day until it toasted...I spent a good 75 dollars for it and I have not had the money to invest again for now..I know how exciting it is to get fruit and congrats.

You can plant from pit but I am not sure if they grow true from pit. They are really not that slow from seed but will need bottom heat at this time of year. I had heard from a South Florida nursery that Glenn is not too bad in a container. More commonly though, people who do mangos in containers go with 'Cogshall'/condo mangos, but I find the growth on Glenn more vigorous. LOL about the squirrels there, I only saw one take off with a Kumquat, but as there are a lot of feral cats around me, squirrels tend to be nervous and not linger in my yard. I once planted a Dwarf Peach in my yard and was stunned to see it covered with fruit in the same season in which it was planted. I waited for that morning when those luscious peaches would be perfectly ripe. Well, that AM there was not a SINGLE fruit on the tree or any evidence of one on the ground. It really turned me off from growing most edibles (as I also have a huge deer population with which to contend). However, getting my thread back to the topic of CITRUS, I must say, that most critters have NOT be tempted by my Citrus collection..., ignoring both the aromatic foliage (a turn off apparently) and the fruit. (Most of my subtropical tree collection is Citrus for this very reason!) They also have not touched my figs (I think the foliage must be toxic to some extent)., but need to protect my loquats as the deer LOVE the foliage, not to mention the fruit, so..., so these guys have to go either on a gated top deck or in the garage, otherwise they get eaten.

Sub, don't let them fool you! The squirrels in my yard never even gave it a thought to eat my figs for years until this summer..I was shocked to seem them half eaten so not I use a stinking net or squirrel repellent that seems to do the trick. Never in my mind would I thought of that.

I hear you about the peaches..Same thing happened to me year after year along with pears..I cut them down I was so aggravated..lol

LOL Steve! I got plenty of figs this year and if the winter is not too bad, I should get tons more next year....fingers crossed! Subtropix, I also have a ruby red guava tree. It is huge and has tried to produce guavas, but the squirrels love them. I had one large guava that I had protected...when I took my trees outside recently to disinfect them, the guava went out too - without the netting. Well, in a few hours, it was taken. I was incredibly annoyed!

That must be lovely! Do mango blossoms have a scent? I hope you get lots of fruit.

Laura, that must have been so frustrating! Gah. Squirrels... blasted little demons.

Squirrels are just rats with bushy tails.

Steve, your one liners always make my day..lol Did you even know that you make many peoples day? ))

Jem, not that I know of, at least not the ones I had..I wish they did or I would invest another 75 dollars for the fragrance even if I lost the fruit.

I read that they do have a fragrance but sniffed today, and detected none (at this point).
