Mango Sunrise

It tolerates mild maritime conditions but benefits from windbreaks and protection from salt spray; monitor humidity closely to prevent mould.

Check trichomes and pistils for ripeness; expect a harvest window from late September to early October in most years.

Use moderate nitrogen during vegetative growth, then reduce N and increase phosphorus and potassium during flowering.

Yes, it responds well to organic amendments such as compost, worm castings and balanced organic fertilisers.

Improve airflow through training, remove dense lower foliage, site plants where they get maximum sun and use preventative biological treatments if needed.

Yes, large pots of 20–40 litres work well outdoors and allow you to move plants under shelter during poor weather.

About 8 to 10 weeks under a standard 12/12 flowering cycle with stable environmental control.

Aphids and spider mites are common; early detection and gentle biocontrols like predatory insects or soap washes stop outbreaks.

Dry slowly at cool temperatures and cure in airtight jars, burping regularly to maintain 50–60% relative humidity and preserve aroma.

Low-stress training and topping to create an even canopy work well, combined with selective defoliation to open the centre to light and air.
