I just bought 2 Mango trees from Pine Island Nursery and was very pleased with them. Good packing and shipping (in pots) and nice plants.

I also bought a tree from a website called " The Mango Man", and I didn't expect much but got a big tree in a big pot and it really looked great. They also have some videos on their website, I haven't watched them yet but there are a few of grafting that might be of interest to the folks here.

Have someone experienced the cultivation of mango trees (dwarf cultivars ?) in container like citrus ? Did you obtained fruits ?

I have a Nam Doc Mai mango that was growing in a container and fruited for me. It is now planted in the ground inside the greenhouse.

I'm glad you had a good experience with the "mango man". I tried ordering from him several years ago and received nothing but a run around. Needless to say, I did not place an order then or since. I don't think you can go wrong with PI. Good luck with your new plants.

When it was in container, you did like citrus : in the garden in summer and indoor in winter (or in a greenhouse, what was the minimal temperature) ?

The plant started off outside, then inside the house for winter for a couple of seasons. Last year it came into the greenhouse for good. Min. temp in GH is 65. When it was in the house. It was very very hot due to the grow light.
