Bundaberg Late is an Australian mango variety for gardeners who love the flavour of homegrown tropical fruit and want to enjoy the mango season a little longer.
Mangos are a much-loved Australian summer favourite, prized for their fragrant aroma, juicy flesh and naturally sweet flavour. Fresh from the tree, they’re delicious eaten on their own, sliced into fruit salads, blended into smoothies or shared with family and friends on a warm afternoon.
Mangos have a special place in Australian gardens, and Bundaberg Late offers an opportunity to grow a variety with an Australian connection.
Mango trees thrive in a warm, sunny position with well-drained soil and room to develop. Regular watering while establishing will help encourage healthy growth.
For gardeners dreaming of juicy mangos grown at home, Bundaberg Late is a lovely variety to consider for the backyard orchard.
