Kensington Pride Mango Tree
Kensington Pride Mango is one of Australia’s most loved mango varieties, famous for its sweet, juicy flesh, rich tropical aroma, and excellent flavour. It produces medium to large fruit with golden-yellow skin and a slight blush when ripe. A fantastic choice for Perth home gardens, this mango thrives in warm sunny positions and rewards growers with delicious fruit in summer.
Features
- Premium Australian mango variety
- Sweet, aromatic, fibre-light fruit
- Excellent for fresh eating, smoothies, and desserts
- Evergreen tree with dense glossy foliage
- Great for backyards and large pots
Height & Width
- In ground: 4–8m high x 3–6m wide
- In pots: Usually 2–3m with pruning
- Can be maintained smaller with regular trimming
Trimming Methods
Pruning helps keep the tree compact and productive.
- Trim after fruiting season or late summer
- Remove dead, weak, or crossing branches
- Shape into an open canopy for better airflow
- Reduce height by cutting back long upright branches
- Light annual pruning encourages more fruiting branches
Tip: Keep tree under 3–4m for easier harvesting.
Planting Method (In Ground)
- Choose a full sun location with protection from strong wind.
- Ensure soil drains well—mangoes dislike wet feet.
- Dig hole twice as wide as root ball.
- Mix soil with compost and coarse sand if drainage is poor.
- Plant at same depth as nursery pot.
- Water deeply after planting.
- Mulch around base, keeping mulch away from trunk.
Planting in Extra Large Pots
Kensington Pride can grow well in large containers.
- Use 75–100L+ pot with strong drainage
- Use premium fruit tree potting mix
- Add coarse sand/perlite for drainage
- Place in full sun
- Water regularly but avoid soggy soil
- Feed during growing season
Pot growing makes pruning and harvesting easier.
Care in Perth
Perth’s warm climate suits mango trees very well.
- Needs 6–8 hours full sun daily
- Protect young trees from frost
- Deep water during hot summer
- Reduce watering in winter
- Feed in spring and summer with fruit tree fertiliser
- Add potassium to encourage flowering and fruiting
Black Spot / Anthracnose Disease Control
Anthracnose is a common fungal disease in mango trees, especially during humid or wet conditions. It causes black spots on leaves, flowers, and fruit.
Symptoms
- Black or brown leaf spots
- Flower drop
- Dark spots on fruit
- Fruit rot
Control Methods
- Prune for better airflow
- Avoid overhead watering
- Remove infected leaves and fruit
- Keep tree clean and disease-free
- Apply copper-based fungicide during flowering and fruit development
- Avoid excessive nitrogen fertiliser
Good airflow and proper pruning greatly reduce disease risk in Perth.
