Climate, Cold & Container GrowingCan mangoes grow in an arid subtropical climate?
Commercial experience in places such as Carnarvon shows that mango production is not confined to humid tropical climates. Assess extreme heat, wind exposure, cold episodes, and the conditions during flowering and fruit development. A dry climate can reduce some disease pressure without removing the need for careful site selection. Use local production evidence and a trial planting to judge suitability rather than treating the label 'desert' as either permission or disqualification.
