Maybe, if you can offer it some frost protection especially when it is young. Read this article, it is helpful. Here is a link that might be useful: mango cultivation in California

the variety will be a seedling of whatever mango you planted the seed from. the picture you posted is definitely an Indian type meaning it will have a monoembryonic seedling which will NOT be true to the parent, in fact it may not fruit at all or produce undesirable characteristics like stringy turpentine flavored mangos susceptible to fungal disease. from my experience and knowledge your seedling will most likely not produce desirable fruit, but it might. maybe even better than the parent, but not likely. the only way to grow an Indian variety of mango is by grafting a known varietys branch onto a seedling rootstock. Asian mangos, which are more kidney shaped and typically green or yellow, are mostly polyembryonic which means they will grow a sprout that is true to the parent along with other sprouts that might be variable this is probably the result of thousands of years of different propagation practices in Indian and East Asia if you go into the tropical fruit forum you will meet many people who grow mangos in zone 9 using outdoor winter protection. mango trees can grow large and vigorous however there are probably well over 1000 named cultivated varieties from around the world, some of which grow slow and dwarf, around 10 foot. this is a relatively new practice, cultivating dwarf varieties and pruning them small for backyard growers instead of large commercial trees. many new cultivars being introduced by nurseries like Fairchild Botanical Gardens are dwarf. mango trees also take extremely well to pruning, all my trees survived borderline freezing temperatures we experienced this freak winter

Thanks Sapote and mangodog. I will be interested to hear if you have success delaying your fruiting season on flowers you cut. Hopefully they don't just mature faster to get back on schedule. Are you intending to cut entire trees or just a portion of the flowers to see if you can extend an individual tree's fruiting?

Hello, Can anyone suggest a Indian type mango variety that may grow well in inland Los Angles area with planting zone 10b: 35 to 40 F? Is it true that either Kent or Golden Nugget are Indian type variety? Are they compact in size? Thanks!
