Frequently asked questions
Where in Kenya can I grow Grafted Tommy Mango?+
Grafted Tommy Mango performs best in Machakos, Makueni, Kitui, Embu and similar zones at sea level to 1,500m above sea level. If you're unsure about your area, send us your location on WhatsApp and we'll confirm suitability before you order.
How long before my Grafted Tommy Mango seedling starts fruiting?+
Because it is grafted from a proven mother tree, expect 3 years to first commercial harvest. Grafted seedlings fruit much earlier than seed-grown trees and stay true to variety.
How often should I water a young Grafted Tommy Mango seedling?+
Water deeply twice a week for the first three months, then once a week through the first dry season. Mulch heavily around the base to lock in moisture and reduce watering needs.
Do I need more than one tree for pollination?+
Grafted Tommy Mango produces well as a single tree, but planting 2 or more nearby improves fruit set and total yield. Most of our customers plant a block for better economics and easier management.
