Pina Colada Mango Tree

Pineapple-and-coconut flavor notes • Smaller growth habit • Nationwide shipping and Palm Bay pickup

Product description

Bring another taste of the tropics to your garden with Pina Colada Mango. This specialty Florida cultivar is a wonderful conversation piece for a fruit-tree collection, pairing its memorable name with a distinctive eating experience.

Its small fruit offers aromatic, fiberless flesh with a sweet flavor and pineapple-and-coconut notes. Enjoy ripe mango fresh, blend it into smoothies, or use it in homemade frozen desserts. Flavor changes with ripeness and growing conditions; the name describes tasting notes rather than added ingredients.

A compact, slower-growing habit makes this variety worth considering where space is limited, with suitable pruning and care. It is a specialty choice for flavor exploration rather than a promise of heavy crops.

Order your Pina Colada 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 ‘Pina Colada’
Also written: Piña Colada Mango.
Origin: Gary Zill's breeding program, Florida, USA.
Reported parentage: Dot × Gary.

It is a mango cultivar, not a hybrid with pineapple or coconut.

Fruit size, appearance, and texture

The 2025 Mango Grower's Summit cultivar presentation reports approximately 6–12 ounces (170–340 grams). This is a reported range, not a guaranteed average. Another Florida grower often sees fruit below 8 ounces; crop load and growing conditions affect size.

Fruit is ovoid to oblong with a rounded tip. The skin can progress from green toward light yellow, and the flesh is yellow. The seed can occupy a relatively large share of this small fruit, so edible yield per mango is modest.

The supplied photographs guide the graphic's green-to-golden colors and natural skin markings. Photos alone do not establish cultivar identity.

Tree size and growth

Pina Colada is described as low-vigor, with an open, spreading canopy. Final dimensions depend on rootstock, climate, site, and pruning; this listing does not promise a fixed mature height.

Container growing may be practical with adequate root space, drainage, light, and ongoing canopy management. A compact habit does not remove the need to plan for growth. Confirm the selected nursery tree's size before choosing a permanent location.

Growing and care

Choose full sun and well-drained soil. Avoid planting where water collects. Water during establishment, then adjust irrigation to rainfall, soil moisture, and tree needs. Use an appropriate mango fertilizer according to local recommendations and tree age.

Prune selectively after harvest for access and structure. Protect young trees from frost; Palm Bay and Central Florida gardeners should have a cold-protection plan. In climates with freezing winters, arrange suitable protected growing conditions before ordering.

Production and disease: Yield can be light and performance varies by site. Anthracnose susceptibility has been reported in some locations. Provide airflow, monitor flowers and fruit during wet weather, and seek local advice when problems appear. This variety is not presented as disease-proof or consistently high-yielding.

Quick growing information

Frequently asked questions

Does it contain pineapple, coconut, or alcohol?
No added ingredients are implied. This listing is for a living mango tree; its cultivar name describes a flavor association.

Is it a good choice for a small garden?
Its growth habit may help with space planning, but it still needs sufficient room, sun, and pruning. See the growth section above before choosing a site.

Will it produce a large crop?
Do not choose it on a guaranteed-yield basis. Production depends on the tree and growing conditions; see the performance notes above.

How soon will my tree fruit?
That depends on propagation, age, establishment, health, and growing conditions. Ask about the actual nursery option; a first-fruit date is not promised.

Can I grow it outside Florida?
Suitability depends on climate and your growing setup. Mangoes are cold-sensitive. Customers in freezing climates need appropriate protection, including enough room for the tree as it grows.

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

Is local pickup available?
Yes. Pick up in Palm Bay, Florida, near Melbourne, following the instructions provided with your order.
