Condo Mango Tree

[Chavy87]

I recently purchased a condo mango tree as a experiment, to see they could grow in northern California (Sacramento) 9b. I have only seen mango trees in Mexico and Hawaii so I'm not very familiar with what a healthy mango tree looks like. I did transplant it a month ago. It gets full sun, and I keep the soil moist, watering it 3 times a week. It's been in the triple digits for the past two weeks. The tree seems to have some brown tips on a few leaves, I'm not sure if this is a water problem or sun/heat problem. Thank you in advance for the advice.

Brown leaf tips can be caused by either too much water, or fertilizer.

Overall yellow / yellow-ish coloration on the leaves can be a sign of heat stress / burn..   Might build a shade tent over it for the rest of the summer.

While far less common than down south, there are people in Nor. Cal growing Mangoes with varying success.

While maybe not as large as they can get in Mexico, Hawaii, or even in FL,  LOTS of good sized examples in gardens around So. Cal.  that fruit regularly.

Would look through So. / Nor. Cal - related threads on Mangoes / Mango cultivation out there  over on the Tropical Fruit Forum.  With some exceptions of course, that is pretty much where a majority of CA. ( and AZ ) tropical gurus growers hang out.
