Congrats on your new mango trees!! They seem to be nice and healthy. I have a potted Glenn mango in a fast draining mix...Al's(Tapla)mix from the container forum. Don't over water, since mango doesn't like soggy(wet) soil. Water well, and let it dry out mostly between watering. Lightly fertilize during the growing season...I've used Fish Emulsion or MG, diluted in half strenght since mangoes are prone to fertilizer burn. Water less and don't fertilize in the colder months. I'm sure yours will do well... Give lots of sun also...Good luck!

Julie will be fine in a larger container.

Manilla im not sure about but mango trees have tap roots and are best planted in the ground.

is Manilla also Ataulfo aka Champagne mango? or is it a different variety. theres conflicting info on the internet.

Hi ajay

I am in northern california and have some mango trees in pots. I have a glenn, carrie, ice cream and lancetilla.

All but glen have blossoms and lancetilla has itty bitty baby mangos which I am sure will fall off.

Here is my blog. I will try to take pics of itty boitty mangos tomorrow.

Here is a link that might be useful: mango

tammysf ,Where did you buy your mangos and did you ever protect them from the cold?.....

I think Manilla/ataulfo are different from the champagne. I have had plenty of both this season and the taste is similar, but the Champagne's always seem to be much larger and I think they are just a bit smoother.

If you don't mind, How much did you pay for your Julie? Could you take a close up of the graft on it? I am having troubles getting grafts to take and am curious how they did it.

jsvand5,here is the close up on the graft on it.I paid $30.00 for it...

Wow, trees in CA must be more expensive than FL. $30 seems like a pretty high price for a newly grafted mango. Looks healthy though.

I bought 3 from top tropics and the glenn from laverne (home depot carries laverne).

During frost I actually did not protect them because I was on vacation and they got pretty beat up.

I am pleased to see the infloresence and new growth. Little mangos getting bigger and it kills me to know I need to prune them off but waiting for plant to stop blooming.

The first several months to a year are very critical for small mango/any fruit trees. You should make sure the soil does not dry out for extended periods as this can stunt a young mango trees growth. I recommend innoculating your soil with beneficial bacteria and fungi and avoid adding chemical N-P-K fertilizers as this will inhibit the growth of the beneficial organisms in your soil. Make sure to add lots of organic compost and maybe just a hint of well composted cow/steer manure. You don't want to add to much manure even if it is well composted because it can still be "Hot" and burn your plants. Adding Earthworms and other garden worms will make your plant thrive. The organic way may not be the fastest way to spur growth but in the long run, your plant will be much healthier. You may also want to transplant your trees to a slightly larger pot every 4-6 months depending on how fast it grows.

Mangoes grow really fast when it is super hot. If you want to take advantage of this and you really want to use chemical fertilizers but are afraid of killing your beneficial organisms and scareing away the worms, you can always do a foliar spray of chem fertilizer

hi ajaysr5 ,
i think u have paid too much for that tree, i mean in india u will get it for $1.00 or less, but ur tree looks wonderful. for $30 which will be like rupees 1800 for me, i will be able to buy around 18 t0 20 nos of grafted tree, that wil be much taller and older.
