Notes
Mango (Mangifera indica) is a tree for borders and containers, and it needs little care. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 10 and warmer, down to about 30°F (-1°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes full sun and dry, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It is evergreen and drought tolerant. Butterflies, bees, and birds visit it.
Pairs well with Tamarind, Blue paloverde, Safari Sunset leucadendron, and Arizona Sun blanket flower.
