Introduction to Mango Growing Environment (Part 1): Climate and Sunshine Conditions
Sufficient sunshine
Mangoes are a typical tropical and subtropical fruit tree with very specific climatic requirements. The most suitable regions for mango growth have an average annual temperature between 24 and 30 degrees Celsius, and are generally free from frost damage throughout the year.
Mangoes are quite sensitive to low temperatures; when temperatures drop below 10 degrees Celsius, growth can easily stagnate, and even damage branches or flower buds. Therefore, in Taiwan, they are mostly cultivated in the southern regions, such as Tainan, Kaohsiung, and Pingtung, where the warm climate and short winters are ideal for mango cultivation.

Soil drainage
Besides climate, soil conditions are also a key factor affecting mango growth and yield. Mangoes thrive in well-drained, deep sandy loam or loam soil.

If the soil is too heavy and waterlogged, it will cause root hypoxia, leading to root rot or poor growth. Ideally, the soil depth should be at least 60 centimeters to allow the mango roots to fully extend and absorb water and nutrients.

Drainage system
Although mangoes have a certain degree of drought tolerance, their water requirements vary at different growth stages, making proper water management crucial. During the seedling and vegetative growth stages, adequate and regular irrigation helps with branch and leaf growth and tree vigor establishment; however, before flowering, moderate drought can actually promote flower bud differentiation, while excessive water may result in only leaf growth and no flowers.
