-
Taste:
The Cogshall Mango (Mangifera indica 'Cogshall') is prized for its rich, sweet flavor with a smooth, fiberless texture. The flesh is juicy and aromatic, offering a tropical taste with hints of peach and citrus, making it a favorite for fresh eating, smoothies, and desserts. -
Best Growing Environment:
Cogshall Mango trees flourish in warm, tropical to subtropical climates with temperatures between 75-95°F (24-35°C). They prefer well-draining, sandy loam soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (5.5-7.5) and thrive in areas with a distinct wet and dry season. High humidity during flowering aids fruit set, while drier conditions during fruit maturation enhance flavor. -
Botanical Name:
The botanical name for the Cogshall Mango is Mangifera indica 'Cogshall', a cultivar of the mango species within the Anacardiaceae family, renowned for its fruit-bearing qualities. -
Common Names:
Commonly known as the Cogshall Mango, it may also be referred to simply as "Cogshall" among growers and enthusiasts, with no widely recognized alternative names beyond its cultivar designation. -
Average Height:
As a semi-dwarf variety, the Cogshall Mango tree typically reaches an average height of 10 to 15 feet (3-4.5 meters) when grown in the ground, though it can be kept smaller (4-8 feet or 1.2-2.4 meters) in containers with pruning, making it ideal for small gardens or patios. -
Growth Rate:
The tree has a moderate growth rate, gaining about 1 to 2 feet (30-60 cm) per year under optimal conditions. It can begin producing fruit within 3 to 4 years of planting, with consistent yields as it matures. -
Sun Requirements:
Cogshall Mango trees require full sun, needing at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight daily to support vigorous growth, flowering, and fruit production. Insufficient light can reduce yields and weaken the tree. -
Cold Hardiness:
This cultivar is sensitive to cold, tolerating brief drops to 30°F (-1°C) once established, but young trees may suffer damage below 32°F (0°C). Frost protection (e.g., blankets or indoor relocation for potted trees) is essential in cooler climates. -
Water Requirements:
Young trees need regular watering—about 1-2 times per week—to establish roots, keeping soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Mature trees are moderately drought-tolerant and require watering only during prolonged dry spells, with reduced frequency in winter to avoid root rot. -
Planting Guide:
Plant in spring after the last frost in a sunny, well-drained spot, spacing trees 10-15 feet (3-4.5 meters) apart if in-ground, or use a 20-inch (50 cm) wide container with drainage holes for potted growth. Dig a hole twice the root ball’s width and as deep, place the tree at the same depth as its nursery pot (keeping the graft above soil level), backfill with native soil, and water thoroughly. Stake if needed in windy areas. -
Fertilizing Times and Recommended Fertilizer:
For young trees, fertilize every 2-3 months in the first year with 1/4 pound of a balanced 6-6-6 NPK fertilizer, increasing to 1 pound by year two. Mature trees should receive 2-3 applications annually: early spring (March) with 6-6-6 or 8-3-9 (1-2 pounds), mid-summer (July) with a high-potassium mix like 0-0-22 to boost fruiting, and early fall (September) with a light dose. Avoid fertilizing after harvest in late summer to encourage dormancy. -
USDA Zone:
The Cogshall Mango thrives in USDA Zones 9b through 11, where it can be grown outdoors year-round. In zones 4-9, it can be cultivated in containers and brought indoors during winter to protect from frost, making it adaptable to a wider range of climates with proper care.
