Mango trees do well across much of Ghana, where warm temperatures and a clear dry season suit them. A grafted tree can start fruiting within three to five years, far sooner than one grown from seed.

The dry season matters as much as the rain. Flowering is triggered by a dry, warm spell, and heavy rain during flowering can reduce the crop. Good drainage, full sun and space to spread all help.

Once picked, mangoes ripen quickly in the heat, so fruit for juice or market is usually harvested when mature but still firm.
