KP Mango

Kensington Pride mango, known as KP, is Australia’s most loved mango for a reason. The fruit is juicy, rich, and perfectly balanced between sweet and tangy. Its fibreless flesh melts in the mouth. Grown across the country and proven in Perth, this tree is strong, moderately cold-tolerant when mature, and fruits reliably once established. So perfect it's the Aussie go to rootstock for all other mangos. The fruit turns golden-yellow with a blush when ripe and has a distinct tropical aroma that screams summer.

KP mango prefers a sunny, well-drained spot with good airflow. Protect young trees from frost for the first two winters. Mulch well, feed with organic fertiliser in spring and summer, and water deeply during fruit development. Responds well to yearly pruning to control size and boost fruit set.

A reliable fruiter that thrives in Perth's heat, KP mango is perfect for backyards and large pots. Great choice if you want a dependable mango with world-class taste and a bit of nostalgia.
