Taste, season, cold, and how to plant this one.
- Taste
- An Indian dessert mango: intensely sweet, lush, and low on fiber. Different from the Florida resin types, in a good way.
- Ripens
- Late spring into early summer when the bloom was strong. It wants heat to taste like itself.
- Zones
- Zones 10 to 11.
- Hardiness
- Compact, so you can cover it. Anthracnose on wet flowers is the main risk, not our mild winters.
- Size
- A smaller tree, often kept under 12 feet. One of the best patio mangoes.
- Tips
- Do not overhead-water the bloom. A Mallika in full sun against a warm wall is the setup we like.
- Pollination
- Self-fruitful.
