What method's best? Experiment: Ripening Mangos off the tree

 

Do your mangoes go black after you pick them off your Mango Fruit Trees in Australia? Perhaps it's the way you ripen them. There are a few methods to ripen mangoes when picking them as a backyard gardener off your mango tree. You have the luxury of letting them ripen on the tree however this is not practical all the time with birds and bats and possums and also ripening them as you need them. We do an experiment with a few methods of picking them before they are ripe.

R2E2 Mango Tree in Australia is great for cold climates Seedling vs Grafted

We show you just how large the R2E2 mango tree is and we talk about the seedling and grafted mango tree selections. The r2e2 is actually very hardy once established and is a great choice for cold marginal climates in Australia. This is for the seedling r2e2 and not the grafted r2e2. If you are in a subtropical to tropical climate best to get a grafted variety if your climate is cold and marginal than best to get a seedling. You will still need to protect it until it is at least 3m tall.

r2e2 mango fruit trees are for sale at Daleys Fruit Tree Nursery. You can buy r2e2 mango fruit trees here:

Now these great big Mangoes are the R2E2 mango and they are one of the largest of the Mango Fruits. They have this beautiful coloured fruit it's got a good flavour. We grow these as a grafted plant and we also grow them as seedlings. So if you have a seed grown mango tree some of them will be grown true to type but some of them aren't going to be grown true to type so you are going to get some seedling variations as we say. But they are a really fabulous tree it's quite a large tree give it plenty of space. It's going to grow more than 6m so be prepared to have a big tree in your backyard. But they are a lovely shady evergreen tree as well so a great tree to have in your backyard if you have the space. That's a beautiful tree beautiful fruit. The R2E2's are one of the best varieties to grow if you are in a marginal climate so if you live in South Australia or Victoria or south of Sydney and you want to try growing a Mango the R2E2 is one of the best choices to try. It's a bit hardier than the others. So although we can't promise you success if you're in a frost free location and you can protect your tree for the first few years until it's about 3m tall or so you are going to have a good chance of getting Mango fruits. So you might find that you have good Seasons and bad Seasons and that's pretty much Weather dependant. So you haven't got a great deal of control on that it's just something you have to take with growing Mangoes. But worth trying if you want to try growing Mangoes in a difficult Mango growing climate. So like all Mangoes best suited to the Tropics and the Subtropics. Give them a frost free location, good drainage, full Sun and you will be cropping Mangoes like this off a Seedling tree in about 6 years and off a Grafted plant in about 3.

Dwarf Mango Fruit Tree - Purple Irwin

Transcript

This gorgeous mango is the Irwin Mango. And it's got this lovely purple skin to it so these are ready to pick and we will ripen them off the tree and they will get a lovely colouring of oranges and red as well as this lovely purple so they're really attractive fruit with beautiful smooth flesh and they

don't have any fibre and they are only a small tree so this tree is about 4m tall and it was planted in this orchard at the same time as the other mangoes which are nearly twice as big so it shows you it's less vigorous and much smaller. If you wanted to keep it to about 2m you would need to prune your tree back every few years but just keep in mind that because the mangoes come on the end of the growth you are going to cut your crop off so if you do prune your mangoes back be prepared to lose the fruit for a season. This has got a great crop on it this year and having a good crop of mangoes is all weather dependent so if you have a nice hot dry Spring you will have a great crop of mangoes.

Planting Mango Seedlines to be used as Rootstocks for Grafted Mango Fruit Trees

R2E2 Mangos that will be used for seedlings

Grafted Mango Tree - Should I keep the flowers?

If you have a young Grafted Mango Tree it is probably flowering right now so this is timely advice on the question "Should I keep the flowers?"

Seedling mango trees can take 4-9 years before they even start flowering and when they do they are quite mature but your grafted mango tree can flower & fruit even in the first year like this mango tree in the video. So what happens if you don't interfere with your grafted mango tree and just let it flower and fruit? Are you doing the right thing?

Grafting Our Bowen Mango Trees

Nina Grafting Our Bowen Mango Trees

Nina grafting our Bowen Mango Rootstocks with one of our many varieties. Grafting is the art of transforming a seedling rootstock to a selected variety with superior fruiting qualities. Added advantages can be dwarfing, disease resistance, earlier fruiting etc. It's very labour intensive and that is the reason grafted trees are much more expensive. If you wish to learn more we have a youtube on the art of #grafting #mangoes Grafting Fruit Trees Have a go and see if you can topwork some of your trees with 2 or more varieties on the same rootstock and create a #FruitSaladTree
