Jakarta Mango Tree

Bold tropical flavor • Colorful fruit • Nationwide shipping and Palm Bay pickup

Product description

Bring another distinctive mango to your tropical-fruit collection with Jakarta. This Florida selection is a choice for gardeners who enjoy exploring bold flavors and growing fruit beyond familiar supermarket varieties.

Its medium-to-large fruit develops an orange-red blush over a green-to-yellow background. The dark-yellow flesh is fiberless, with a rich sweetness and pronounced piney, resinous, spicy notes. This is an assertive Indian/West Indian flavor profile rather than a mild mango.

Enjoy ripe fruit fresh or experiment with small portions in smoothies and homemade desserts. Taste varies with ripeness and growing conditions, and its aromatic character may appeal especially to those who already enjoy strongly flavored mangoes.

Order your Jakarta Mango Tree from The Island Gardeners. Nationwide shipping is available for eligible destinations and plant sizes, subject to applicable restrictions and checkout availability. Local pickup is available in Palm Bay, Florida, near Melbourne and the Space Coast.

Origin and other names

Botanical name: Mangifera indica ‘Jakarta’
Origin: Selected by the Zill family in Boynton Beach, Florida, USA.
Reported parentage: Likely a Kent seedling; Bombay ancestry has also been suggested but is not established here.

The cultivar name does not indicate an Indonesian origin. Keep the full name in product records to distinguish it from other mango varieties.

Fruit size and appearance

Fruit shape can vary, including broad ovate forms like those in your supplied references. A reliable average fruit weight was not established for this listing, so size is described without an invented ounce range.

Crop load and growing conditions affect individual size and color. The reference photographs guide visual appearance but do not independently establish nursery stock identity.

Tree size and growth

Jakarta is reported to be very vigorous with an upright, open canopy. It is not presented as dwarf or semi-dwarf. Allow room for the developing tree, access, and pruning; a maintained size depends on management rather than a fixed cultivar height.

UF/IFAS recommends generous spacing for vigorous mangoes when growth will not be controlled—typically 25–30 feet or more from structures, other trees, and power lines. Selective pruning after harvest helps maintain access and structure.

Growing and care

Choose full sun, a warm location, and well-drained soil. Avoid areas that remain wet after rain. Water during establishment, then adjust irrigation to rainfall, soil moisture, and tree needs. Feed according to age and appropriate local mango guidance.

Protect young trees from frost. Palm Bay and Central Florida growers should plan for cold events; customers in freezing climates need suitable protected growing conditions before ordering.

A young tree can be container-grown with sufficient root space and drainage. Long-term container growing requires ongoing root-space and canopy management and may be demanding for a vigorous variety.

Production and disease considerations

Cropping can be inconsistent, with disease problems reported at inland sites. A Florida grower reports steadier performance near the coast. Do not promise dependable heavy yields or assume a tree will perform identically at every location.

Provide airflow, monitor flowers and fruit during wet weather, and seek local guidance if symptoms develop. Claims that a particular companion cultivar will reliably solve fruit-set problems are not established in this listing.

Harvest Planner and My Food Forest

South Florida harvest guide: Late May–July.
Recommended month filters: May, June, July, with May identified as a possible late-month start.

These are garden-planning months, not promised picking dates. Flowering, weather, tree condition, and location affect the season. Nationwide shipping does not mean Florida's calendar or climate applies to every destination.

Use the Harvest Calendar to compare Jakarta with earlier and later fruit trees and see gaps or overlaps. Add it to My Food Forest, then record your own bloom and harvest dates to refine your garden's forecast. The supplied QR code is the nursery-designated Harvest Calendar link.

Quick growing information

Frequently asked questions

Is Jakarta an Indonesian mango?
This cultivar was selected in Florida. Its name should not be used as an origin claim.

Is the flavor mild?
No mild-flavor claim is made. Read the profile above when choosing between varieties, particularly if you prefer gentle flavors.

Is it a dwarf mango?
No. Review the growth and spacing guidance before choosing its permanent site.

Will my tree produce a large crop every year?
That cannot be guaranteed. See the production notes above, and consider your site's humidity, weather, and growing conditions.

How soon will my tree fruit?
Timing depends on age, propagation, establishment, health, and growing conditions. Ask about the actual nursery option; no first-fruit date is promised.

Can I grow it outside Florida?
Suitability depends on your climate and growing setup. Mango is cold-sensitive; freezing climates require protection and sufficient space for the developing tree.

Do you ship nationwide?
Yes, where the destination and selected plant size are eligible. Applicable restrictions and available checkout options determine whether a specific tree can ship to your address.

Can I collect my order locally?
Yes. Local pickup is available in Palm Bay, Florida, near Melbourne. Follow the instructions provided with your order.

Does the product graphic show the exact plant I receive?
The graphic illustrates mature fruit and cultivar features. Actual plant size and condition follow your nursery option; fruit on arrival is not guaranteed.
