Although some people are allergic to the meat, mango is highly favored in Eastern cooking as well as fresh fruit. Pick mangos fully ripe off the tree and eat immediately for maximum taste and sweetness. Plant mango in full sun in fertile, well-drained soil. Water very regularly until established and be sure to fertilize properly. Be watchful for common pests such as scales and sooty-mold.
Weather can be a factor in fruit production from year to year.
For example, if it's too humid during the time of fruit setting, fungus can be a problem to fruit and leaves. Even after fruit is set, anthracnose fungus can attack. Be prepared to spray with copper fungicide to save your crop. You may be interested in receiving great tropical plants mail order from Master Gardener.
