\ud83c\udf45 Quick take:<\/strong> Mango Django<\/em> is a highly productive, indeterminate orange paste\/plum<\/strong> variety featuring elongated fruits with a distinct point (often called “icicle” types by growers). The fruits typically weigh between 2 and 5 oz (60-150 g). The vine has wispy, downward-pointing foliage but is surprisingly vigorous, easily reaching the top of a greenhouse by late summer. Growers praise it for its heavy yields, long shelf life, and exceptionally sweet flavor that actually improves after a few days on the counter. Full summary \u2193<\/a><\/div>\n

Mango Django<\/p>\n

Indet, heavy yielder, you can keep it pruned to 2-3 leaders. The fruits are absolutely delicious orange plums with a little point, weighing up to 5 oz (150 g).<\/p>\n

Sveta, what’s the plant’s growth habit like? Does it have wispy\/weeping foliage or is it a stout vine? And how fast does it grow? Because some varieties are already hitting the greenhouse roof by early June.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Definitely more on the wispy side. It has a pretty standard growth rate for an indeterminate plum pruned to 2 leaders. It did hit the greenhouse roof, but closer to mid-August. Grew it in the middle bed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Not enough written about my absolute favorite variety for some reason \ud83d\ude01 I’ve been growing it since 2018 in a poly greenhouse. Originally used Biotekhnika seeds, but now I only save my own. Year after year it just gets better and yields heavier. The vine grows over 6.5 ft (2+ m) tall, by fall the top is just laying across the trellis wire or crossbar.<\/p>\n

It’s a pretty vigorous plant but slender at the same time. The leaves point straight down and get up to 1.5 ft (0.5 m) long, so I have to trim them back. I keep it to 2 leaders at first, then just let it run wild, which does make the fruits a bit smaller. On the first trusses they look exactly like Southern Tan<\/a> (Yuzhny Zagar), but the flavor is a bit milder. The yield, however, is exponentially higher.<\/p>\n

Tried growing two plants per hole. It did great, but pruning got really confusing. Grew it outdoors in the dirt once, the vine didn’t get as tall and the fruits were smaller, but it set a ton of fruit. The photo is from mid-August 2019 (deleted my other pics), but lately it’s been ripening earlier for me.<\/p>\n

Mango Django. Grew this wonderful variety again! It’s basically an equivalent to my favorite orange icicle Chukhloma<\/a>, just with a more pronounced point on the fruit. They are so delicious and sweet, especially after sitting on the counter for a bit \ud83d\ude0b Average weight is about 2-3 oz (60-80 g).<\/p>\n

Heavy yielders, produce over a long season, store well, great for all-around use, bright sunny color, and just an absolute treat. What more do you need in life? \ud83d\ude01<\/p>\n
