Know before you buy
Yes, the 'Pickering' variety is specifically bred for container gardening. Its compact growth habit keeps it manageable at 4–5 feet, making it perfect for pots on a patio or balcony.
Because this is a grafted plant, it will fruit much sooner than a tree grown from seed. You can generally expect early and reliable harvests once the tree is established.
This tree is suited for Hardiness Zone 10. If you live in a cooler climate, you must bring the tree indoors during the winter, as it requires a minimum temperature of 50°F.
To help the tree bloom, it benefits from a slight chill during the cooler months. Ensure it receives plenty of full sun throughout the year to support healthy growth and fruit development.
The 'Pickering' mango is highly regarded for its excellent flavor and low-fiber flesh. It offers a smooth, sweet eating experience that is often superior to many store-bought varieties.
