Bullock's Heart Mango

Bullock’s Heart Mango is a rare, heart-shaped mango with buttery flesh, low fibre, and a mild sweet flavour that deepens as it ripens. Originally from India and Southeast Asia, it has found favour with collectors and backyard growers for its productivity and visual appeal. The fruit turns from green to red-blushed yellow when ripe and is often mistaken for a tropical apple due to its size and shape. Trees are fast-growing, disease-resistant, and can be kept compact with regular pruning, making them ideal for smaller gardens or large pots.

This mango thrives in warm climates and benefits from full sun, regular watering during fruit set, and protection from frost. Best results come from slightly acidic, free-draining soil with added compost and potassium-rich feed. Prune after harvest to maintain size and improve airflow. Flowers profusely and sets fruit well when protected from wind.

If you're after something rare, productive, and visually stunning, Bullock’s Heart Mango ticks all the boxes. Great for collectors or growers looking to add variety beyond the usual suspects.
