Distinctive Elongated Mango!
Sabre is a South African mango grown for elongated fruit and sweet flesh — a distinctive shape for the subtropical home orchard.
Self-fertile. Frost-free gardens only.
Sabre mango is named for its elongated, sabre-like fruit shape. It is grown in South African subtropical regions for sweet eating quality and a distinctive look in the fruit bowl.
Plant only where winters are frost-free. Self-fertile grafted trees, full sun, deep drainage and a dry spell before flowering give the best crops.
Elongated mangoes with sweet flesh and a distinctive sabre-like silhouette compared with rounder commercial types.
Summer mango season — typically December to February depending on climate.
Grafted trees can produce fruit within 2–4 years. Self-fertile.
Moderate to vigorous evergreen. Prune lightly after harvest to manage size.
Can be grown in a large container with regular pruning in a warm, sheltered position.
Full sun essential.
Water regularly when young. Reduce watering before flowering to encourage bud set.
Strictly subtropical. Frost-sensitive.
No chilling requirement.
Self-fertile. A single tree will produce fruit without a pollinating partner.
Plant in deep, well-drained soil in a warm, sunny, frost-free position. Mangoes are deep-rooting trees that need space and warmth to thrive.
Feed regularly with a balanced fertiliser during the growing season. Reduce irrigation during the dry pre-flowering period (typically May–July) to encourage good flower bud development — this is the single most important management step for getting a reliable mango harvest.
Prune lightly after harvest to maintain the tree's size and shape. Heavy pruning is not recommended as it delays the following season's fruit.
