PlantFiles: Mango
Mangifera indica 'Glenn'

Beautiful tree...makes a nice shade tree when mature. It sets fruit better than most mangoes and the flavor is deliciously sweet and more peachy than other mangoes.

Mine started blooming late in November and is continuing to bloom now in April! Keep soil on the dry side while it is flowering. Protect flowers and small fruit from temperatures below 40 degrees...I usually invert a trash can over my tree during cold nights.

The folks in Florida can't have all the fun.

I have a Glenn Mango planted on a south wall here in Phoenix for maximum cold protection. It doesn't seem to have difficulty with the dry air, but while growth flushes are occurring I spray it down with water to help the new leaves push through. We're dry here so it helps. Love the red color of the new growth flushes. My mango grows pretty fast and likes our heat. Late day sun protection the first year of planting is advised until it gets rooted and acclimated.

Since I live in Phoenix, I don't have to worry about cold all that much, but I definitely protect it on those few nights when frost might threaten the tree.
