Will it grow here?

The other question. You’re holding a plant at the nursery. We answer yes, no, or “only if you cheat winter.”

🥭 Mango

23 / 100

Poor outdoor candidate

A true tropical. Outdoor fruiting is realistic only in frost-free South Florida and similar pockets.

Winter minimum temperatures ⚠️ Too cold for an unprotected outdoor plant
Hardiness zone ⚠️ Zone 8a is cooler than ideal
Season length ✓ 229 frost-free days
Summer heat ✓ This crop likes the heat
Sunlight ✓ ~8 hours is a good match
Space ⚠️ Needs ~120 sq ft per plant
