Mangifera indica 'Sensation'

Popular SA Commercial Mango!
Sensation is a popular South African commercial mango — attractive red blush, fibre-moderate sweet flesh and reliable mid-season crops in the subtropics.
Self-fertile. Frost-free gardens only.
Sensation is one of South Africa's best-known commercial mango cultivars — grown for attractive red-blushed fruit, good flavour and reliable cropping in frost-free subtropical regions. It is a strong choice for home gardeners who want a proven orchard variety rather than an obscure novelty.
Self-fertile grafted trees. Full sun, deep well-drained soil, and a dry pre-flowering period are the keys to a good crop. Not suitable for frosty Highveld winters.
Medium mangoes with attractive red blush over yellow ground colour and sweet flesh suited to fresh eating and local markets.
Mid mango season — typically mid to late summer depending on region.
Grafted trees can produce fruit within 2–4 years. Self-fertile.
Moderate to vigorous evergreen. Manage size with light post-harvest pruning.
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.
