 53/ Nam Dok Mai T4 mango. 

This is an ultra dwarf mango that you can grow in a pot. I rarely water it more than what the rain gives. It will share its pot with small vegetables. It is tolerant of extreme heat and high winds, but I am growing mine slightly sheltered. It does need fert to produce fruit. Pest resistant. Keep above freezing.

I grew a champagne mango from seed, but a rat chewed it down to its base when it was two years old. That was the end of that mango. 
 @adfbf87b Thank you for all this. I am outside Tampa. We had our first good mango harvest this year and 9 cherimoyas! 
 @531867f6 nice! 

Have you see the University of Florida’s gardener’s extension program on fruit trees? It has detailed information on which trees can be reset after falling and what size to keep the trees to protect from excessive wind damage or toppling.
