Mini Patio Mango Tree

Fragrant white flowers can appear from late spring to early summer, followed by fruit in warm, bright conditions. Fruiting is not guaranteed every year in the UK, but warmth, light and careful watering give the tree the best chance. To produce flowers and fruit in the UK, it must be grown indoors year-round in bright, warm conservatory conditions.

On Arrival

Unpack your mango tree straight away and check the compost. If it feels dry, water thoroughly and allow any excess to drain away. Keep the plant somewhere bright, warm and sheltered for a few days while it settles after its journey.

Potting On

Your mango tree can remain in its 1.5 litre pot briefly, but it will grow best when moved into a larger container. Choose a pot with good drainage holes and use a good quality, free-draining compost. Never leave the pot standing in water, as mangoes dislike wet roots.

Summer Care

For ornamental patio display, your mango tree can enjoy summer outdoors in the warmest, sunniest and most sheltered position available. A patio, greenhouse or conservatory is ideal. Water deeply, then allow the top few inches of compost to dry before watering again. Avoid keeping the compost constantly wet.

Feed during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertiliser to support healthy growth.

Flowering And Fruiting

In the UK, mango trees are not expected to flower or fruit outdoors. To produce flowers and fruit, they must be grown indoors year-round in bright, warm conservatory conditions, where they can enjoy consistent heat, high light levels and protection from cold.

Winter Care

This tree is frost tender and must be brought indoors before temperatures fall below 4C. Keep it in a bright conservatory, greenhouse or frost-free room, away from cold draughts. Water much less in winter, giving just enough to prevent the compost from drying out completely.

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
