Mangifera indica (Seed-Grown Bowen Mango)

Mangifera indica, commonly known as Bowen Mango, is a tropical fruit tree valued for its lush green foliage, fragrant flowers and delicious, sweet mangoes. Seed-grown Bowen mango trees develop into vigorous, leafy specimens that provide attractive shade and a tropical feel to gardens and outdoor spaces. The fruit is popular for its rich flavour and juicy flesh, making it ideal for fresh eating, smoothies, desserts and a variety of culinary uses.

Perfect for spacious backyards, tropical gardens and home orchards, Mangifera indica is an excellent choice for gardeners who want to grow their own mango tree from seed. Seed-grown trees can vary in fruit quality and characteristics, and may take longer to fruit than grafted trees. For best results, plant in a warm, sunny position with well-drained soil and provide regular watering while establishing. Once mature, the tree can become a substantial feature that offers generous shade and the potential for home-grown tropical fruit.
