A Note on Growing Mangoes While incredibly rewarding, growing mangoes does require patience and consistent attention, especially in their early years. They are tropical plants and will not tolerate frost, meaning they are best suited for outdoor growing in USDA Zones 9–11. If you live in a cooler climate, you’ll need to provide winter protection or grow your tree in a container that can be brought indoors. Expect the plant to establish itself for a season or two before it starts producing its first fruits. Frequently Asked Questions Q: How quickly will this mango tree produce fruit?
