How to get it
- • Available in Bill's Seed Shop at 320 Shillings per seed during Rare rotations. Make sure your Plum or Pumpkin income can cover the cost without stalling reinvestment — 320 is a steep jump from Plum's 280.
- • Check the stock tracker before buying. Mango competes with Coconut (380 seed, repeat) in the same tier — if both are available, Mango is cheaper and only 90 Shillings lower in base value.
Best strategy
- • Mango is the direct upgrade from Plum (448 base, 280 seed). The 52-Shilling per-harvest value jump costs 40 more per seed, and repeat compounding means Mango pulls ahead within two cycles for a net gain of 64 Shillings.
- • Stack Mango harvests with Storm weather for Shocked (4.5x) multiplier — a single 500-Shilling harvest becomes 2,250 Shillings. Multiple repeat payouts during one Storm window can fund several Epic-tier seed purchases.

What is Mango worth per harvest?
Mango sells for 500 Shillings per repeat harvest with a 4.5-minute growth cycle. The seed costs 320 Shillings, so you profit 180 Shillings on the first harvest and earn 500 Shillings every cycle after. That works out to roughly 111 Shillings per minute on sustained repeats.
Is Mango better than Plum?
Yes. Mango at 500 base outearns Plum (448) by 52 Shillings per harvest and only costs 40 more per seed. Over 5 repeat cycles, Mango earns 2,500 total versus Plum's 2,240 — a 260-Shilling advantage that grows with every additional harvest. Upgrade as soon as you can afford the 320-Shilling seed.
Mango vs Coconut — which Rare crop is better?
Coconut (590 base, 380 seed, 5 min) outearns Mango per harvest but costs 60 more per seed and takes 30 seconds longer to grow. Mango earns 111 Shillings per minute versus Coconut's 118. If you can afford Coconut, it wins on raw value, but Mango is the better choice when your bankroll is tight.
