Carabao Mango Plant For Outdoor Gardening - Grow the World's Sweetest Mango

Plant Characteristics and Features

• Variety: Carabao, also known as Philippine or Manila Mango, is a highly acclaimed variety celebrated globally as the "World's Sweetest" mango.
• Type: A grafted plant (approximately 2.5 feet tall when shipped), which ensures the plant is true to the variety and begins fruiting sooner.
• Fruit: Produces elongated, slender fruit with a golden-yellow skin. The flesh is intensely sweet, juicy, and known for its exceptionally smooth texture and floral flavor.
• Fruiting Time: With proper care, the grafted plant can start bearing delicious fruit in as little as 1 year.
• Growth Habit: The tree has a vigorous, upright growth and is generally low maintenance once established.

Sunlight and Water Requirements

• Sunlight: The Carabao Mango Plant thrives in Full Sun. Place it in a location where it receives a minimum of 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight each day for optimal health and fruit yield.
• Water Needs: Water deeply and consistently for young plants. For mature trees, water during prolonged dry periods and especially when fruit is developing. Always allow the topsoil to dry slightly between waterings. Ensure excellent drainage to prevent root rot, which is crucial during the rainy season.

Essential Care and Growing Tips for Indian Gardens

• Soil: Plant in rich, well-draining, loamy soil with a neutral to slightly acidic pH (6.0 to 7.5). Mix in organic compost or well-rotted manure to boost soil fertility.
• Potting: This plant is suitable for ground planting as well as large container gardening (using a minimum 20-inch diameter pot) on terraces or balconies.
• Pruning: Perform annual pruning after harvest to remove dead or crossing branches. This helps maintain a manageable tree size and promotes better air circulation and sunlight penetration.
• Fertilization: Fertilize with a balanced fruit-specific fertilizer, one that is high in potassium, during the growing season (spring and late summer) to encourage flowering and a heavy fruit set.
