Keitt Mango (Mangifera indica)
Keitt mango are oblong in shape with a pale to dark green skin, though they occasionally have a yellow blush. The colour can be misleading, and the only real way to determine whether these large mangoes are ripe is by touch. The skin should give slightly to the touch, and even then the mangoes could rest for a few more days.
Keitt mangoes are fiber-free with a thin seed, allowing for a greater amount of smooth-textured, orange-yellow flesh. Keitt mangoes have a tangy sweet flavour with a hint of honey.
Keitt mangoes are said to be some of the most flavourful and tangy mangoes available

Water regularly around summer. Water once a week or less during winter. Will have higher success with cover over and protection from the rain. |

Well-draining. Keep the soil just moist during growing season. Happy to be in a big pot but soil must be topped up regularly. For pot growing use citrus specific soil. |

Regular liquid fertiliser with high Phosphorus content every 3 months. Apply citrus food vigorously during growth time, alternate with fish fertiliser high in nitrogen. Stop fertilising for 2 months after harvesting to encourage new bloom and growth cycle. Do not apply fertiliser when the plant is fruiting. |
