Manila mangoes, also known as Ataulfo mangoes or Honey mangoes, are a specific cultivar of mango prized for their exceptional sweetness, smooth texture, and aromatic flavor
Plant Care:
Climate and Location: Manila mango trees thrive in tropical to subtropical climates with warm temperatures and plenty of sunlight. They require well-drained soil and protection from strong winds, as they have shallow root systems.
Soil: Manila mango trees prefer loamy, well-draining soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. If your soil is not ideal, consider amending it with organic matter such as compost to improve drainage and fertility.
Watering: Provide regular watering to young Manila mango trees, especially during dry periods, to establish healthy root systems. Once established, mango trees are moderately drought-tolerant but still require regular
watering, particularly during flowering and fruiting periods.
Fertilization: Fertilize Manila mango trees with a balanced fertilizer formulated for fruit trees, following the manufacturer's instructions. Apply fertilizer during the growing season, typically in spring and summer, to support healthy growth and fruit production.
Pruning: Regular pruning helps maintain the shape of the tree, promotes airflow and sunlight penetration, and removes dead or diseased branches. Prune Manila mango trees during the dormant season, typically in late winter or early spring, before new growth begins.
