Haden Mango

Haden Mango

A historic Floridian mango cultivar world-famous for parenting many modern cultivars, producing medium to large oval fruits with a striking crimson-red blush over a bright yellow background, housing firm, rich yellow pulp that is sweet, aromatic, and pleasantly peppery.

Grafted trees adapt exceptionally well to container gardening and terrace setups when tip-pruned regularly, maintaining a compact branching structure and fruiting reliably within just 1 to 2 years!

Description

Haden Mango / Hayden Mango (Mangifera indica ‘Haden’) grows best in 6–8 hours of direct sunlight and thrives in warm, tropical climates. It produces colourful fruits with red, yellow, and green skin and sweet, aromatic, juicy flesh. Water regularly during the early growth stage, allowing the topsoil to dry slightly between watering sessions once established. It prefers fertile, well-drained loamy soil enriched with organic matter. Avoid waterlogging and provide sufficient space for healthy canopy development and fruit production.

Recommended Planting Method for Best Results

For healthy growth and strong establishment, prepare a 2–3 ft deep pit. If available, place a layer of green leaves at the bottom. Mix 1.5 kg bone meal, 1 kg oil cake, 20 kg raw cow or goat dung, and 100 g urea with an equal quantity of soil, then fill the pit and cover it with soil.

Leave the pit for about one month, watering it daily so the mixture decomposes well. After one month, mix the contents again and add 100 g calcium or dolomite. Wait one more week, then plant the sapling.

If you need to plant immediately and cannot wait for the one-month decomposition period, do not add oil cake or calcium/dolomite; use only the soil, manure, bone meal, and urea mixture for planting.
