Har Plants a Mango Tree 

I want to plough a mango tree but the place had some aunts

Chihuahua Waves I’ve amended my souls here in Fl and haven’t had any issues yet.

Me too. Mine is growing great right now but it’s low. Feel like it will bite me in the butt later so thinking of pulling out now after allot of recent rain and building higher to give it time in this still summer time to deal with the shock and before winter!

I totally agree with you. i planted my 4 feet avocado tree and decide to move it 2 months later. Same spot just 5 more inches away from the wall. 2/3 weeks later all the leaves dropped and all was left was sticks.... I was super sad but it eventually it revived itself. I learn to leave it alone

There certainly trees that have more invasive roots, but if you want your tree close to your house, it would be best to keep it in a pot

@@TrulyTropical His question is about the size of the pot!

My sweet apples grow in the big pot which is 23" in DIA. We got fruits two years ago. Some fruits are growing.

How are your trees are doing now?

I bet ur trees are all alive

Trimming roots makes a much healthier root system

Mixing some organic matter in with sand often helps.

Wow... sounds like a challenge for you and the the plants! Does your local agricultural extension office provide recommendations? It sounds like adding other materials to the hole would be a good thing.

@@TrulyTropical I put 2 trees in the ground last August. One I added a bunch of kellog potting soil and mixed with the native soil that tree has grown a lot. The other one I mixed a small amount of composted mulch. That tree is barely growing. I could send pics but dont know how to.

I’m also from vista and would love to know if mixing potting soil is a good thing when planting mangoes.

Hopefully it'll grow a lot over the summer! Once its roots get established, it seems to grow very fast

i'm tempted to just put it in the ground and see if it takes off but it doesn't seem healthy enough to transplant and I dont' want the shock to kill it... I just have to fight off the urge for another few weeks, by then I'll be too paranoid to do it during summer

How did you get rid of the anthracnose?

@@Justanotherhuman2 i used a copper spray for foliar and then a systemic that you apply with water and it rids it internally I can't remember the brand or type. Doesn't matter the tree is dead, turns out certain Florida rootstocks are prone to disease out here but some nurseries will just sell you a tree even though most likely it will die. Most people here in socal grow Manilla for the rootstock and then graft or do topwork. Some Florida cultivars will grow here but I haven't run across anyone who has a fruit punch unless it's in a large container or they completely filled a pit with the type of soil that it natively likes and grew it out. My manila is growing fine.

They're good at digging holes, but never in the desired location...

Mixing some organic material (like compost) in with the sand helps.

@@TrulyTropical thanks I love your videos,I'll meet you soon for sure.

I don’t know California but planting in compost is a bad idea. Even if the tree did like that (which it really won’t) the compost will decompose and the tree will sink in the end (leaving it too deep).

What you use as root stock is important, in Fla, most grafting is done on top of a seedling variety named "turpentine" this does well in Florida's soil. but many that have shipped grafted trees to CA, have had problems with turpentine rootstock in their soils. I have read reports from growers that Manila does well in CA as a rootstock, I think some Fla nurseries offer an option for non-turpentine rootstock grafted trees. in any case if you buy from a local nursery, ask what they were grafted on.

gabo if he had a good wife she wouldn’t complain and she would understand.
