Description
Originating from Florida, this dwarfing form of Mango is very well suited for growing in the UK as its smaller proportions make it easier for protected growing as required for the winter. These plants do like a warm location out of any draught (warm or cold) and can be one of the more difficult exotics to grow.
With an open habit, the branches of this variety naturally hang down when laden with fruit (and this variety is known for cropping heavily). Maintained at 6-8 feet (1.8-2.4 metres) tall with a spread of around 4 feet (120 cm) 'Palmer' should produce around 10Kg of fruit per year in good growing conditons.
- Patio plant in summer, conservatory plant in winter - or grow in your conservatory or greenhouse throughout the year to give the best chances of fruiting.
- Requires warm conditions (a minimum of 10°C), and plenty of sun in order to flower.
- Protect from frost and cold/draughts in winter.
- Fruit matures between July and September.
- Keep moist when fruit sets.
- Fruit has rich, sweet flavour.
