**Grafted Kent Mango Tree (Mangifera indica 'Kent')** A Florida-born legend and one of the most beloved late-season mangos—**Kent** delivers big, juicy perfection with that classic sweet-tropical punch that keeps growers coming back year after year!
These premium **grafted** trees produce medium-to-large, oval-to-oblong fruits (typically 1–2 lbs, 20–26 oz or more) with smooth, thick green skin that develops a beautiful **red blush** over yellow undertones when ripe. The flesh is deep yellow to orange, completely **fiberless**, ultra-juicy, tender, and meltingly smooth—bursting with rich, sweet flavor accented by mild peach, tropical fruit, and subtle aromatic notes (often called one of Florida's sweetest and best-tasting varieties, with excellent eating quality and minimal tang).
The tree has a vigorous, upright-to-spreading growth habit with a dense, rounded canopy of large, glossy green leaves—reaching 20–40 feet tall if unpruned, but easily managed smaller (15–25 feet) with regular pruning for backyards, orchards, or larger spaces. Grafted specimens guarantee true-to-type fruit and faster production—often bearing in 3–5 years—with heavy, reliable late-season crops ripening **July–August** (sometimes into September) in Florida and similar subtropical climates, perfectly extending your mango season after earlier varieties fade.
Originating as a Brooks x Haden seedling in Coconut Grove, Florida (1945), Kent is a commercial favorite worldwide for its productivity, shelf life, and standout quality—thriving in warm, humid conditions (USDA zones 9b–11; protect young trees from rare freezes below ~30°F). Note: In high-humidity areas like South Florida, monitor for bacterial black spot; good airflow and care help keep it thriving.
Elevate your mango grove with this timeless powerhouse—homegrown Kent mangoes that bring massive size, fiber-free sweetness, and late-summer bliss straight to your table! Order your Grafted Kent Mango Tree today from Giardino Fresco and savor one of Florida's all-time greats.
Ideal for: late-season extension, large-fruit enthusiasts, backyard orchards, commercial-style growers, and anyone craving rich, juicy mangos that shine in July–August.
Mango growing guide
Kent is a late-season Florida mango with juicy, fiberless flesh.
Plant facts at a glance
Botanical name: Mangifera indica
Listed size: 3 gallon
Mature size: Standard mango trees can reach 30–40 ft or more in the ground. With yearly pruning after harvest, most home growers keep them at 10–15 ft.
Sun: Full sun (8+ hours). Needs good drainage. Once established it tolerates South Florida's sandy and rocky soils.
Water: Water deeply 2–3 times a week the first few months, then about weekly in dry spells. Established trees are fairly drought tolerant. Avoid soggy soil.
Cold hardiness / USDA zones: USDA zones 10–11, and warm spots in 9b. Young trees are damaged near 30–32°F and mature trees at about 25°F. North of zone 10, keep it in a container or protect it from frost.
Time to fruit: Grafted trees often flower within 1–3 years and fruit in about 3–4 years. Florida mangoes mostly ripen May–September, depending on variety.
Taste and uses: Fresh eating, smoothies, juices, salsas, chutneys, desserts and drying. Green mango is used in pickles and salads.
Container vs. in-ground: Compact ('condo') varieties do well for years in a 15–25 gallon pot with pruning. Standard varieties are best in the ground in zone 10b–11.
Care
Fertilize young trees lightly every 1–2 months in the growing season with a fruit-tree mix (for example 6-6-6 or 10-10-10 with minors), tapering off as the tree matures.
Prune right after harvest to keep the tree low and open. Avoid heavy pruning in late fall, because that removes next year's flowers.
Watch for anthracnose on flowers and fruit in wet weather. Good airflow and copper sprays (per label) help.
Mulch 2–4 in. deep, keeping it a few inches away from the trunk.
Frequently asked questions
How long until a grafted mango tree fruits?
Grafted trees usually flower within 1–3 years and set useful crops in about 3–4 years. Seedling trees can take 5–8 years.
Can I grow a mango tree in a pot?
Yes, especially dwarf or 'condo' types. Use a large, well-draining pot (15–25 gallons once established), prune after harvest, and move it inside if frost threatens.
How cold can a mango tree handle?
Young trees can be damaged near freezing (30–32°F). Cover or move potted trees when cold is forecast.
Why are my mango flowers turning black?
Usually it's anthracnose, a fungus that spreads in rainy or humid weather during bloom. Good airflow and a labeled fungicide during flowering help.
Do you ship to my state?
Yes. Ships nationwide, with shipping calculated at checkout. Local pickup in Miami and delivery in Miami-Dade also available. Questions? Call or text Tony at 786-774-2125.
