@jaybrielakoi7747 4 года назад

Thanks for the information I seriously appreciate it. I am about to plant a few trees at my grandmas house on the westside of Oahu. Do you have any advice for mango tree roots? I don't want to keep the roots in as much as possible. Is there a way to do this?

@GardenTricks 4 года назад

Thanks for your comments. Mangoes have a taproot, going around 25 feet deep in soil, but it branches out closer to the surface in order to moisture from the upper layers of soil. These roots can extend to 25 feet from the tree, penetrating the buildings, pipes and other structures, so always plant away from building walls. I am doing an experiment, in which I am keeping the tree in a large pot for 4-5 years, that will make the roots pot bound. I will then plant this tree in soil, and hopefully its roots will not extend that much because they are bound in a small place. However, this will affect the growth of the tree.

@jaybrielakoi7747 4 года назад

@@GardenTricks Thanks for the answer. So then what is. your suggestion then to plant a mango tree near a house to provide shade and fruit but to not have roots messing with my house? Should I try the pot thing like you? That's the only thing I Could think of.

@GardenTricks 4 года назад

You may try to grow it in pot if you do not have enough space. When you see the roots coming out of the pot, transplant the plant into bigger size. I do not recommend to plant the mango tree, even initially potted one, very near to house - keep it more than 15 feet. If you do not have that much space, then keep it growing in the pot, only thing you have to change the soil/pot every 3-4 years, but the tree will grow fruits. The tree size and number of fruits will be reduced.

@gogetmejuice 2 года назад

Thank you for this viendo. With your pruning method, what is the max height the mango tree will reach once mature?

@GardenTricks 2 года назад

Depends on many factors, but may be 12-15 ft in 15 years as compared to more than 30 ft, if not pruned. The main advantage of pruning is to increase the number of branches to get more fruits at the flowers grow only on the tips of branches, so more branches means more fruits and also to make the tree denser at lower height.

@swathis163 3 года назад

Hi! Thank you for the tips! I need your advice: I have 2 mango plants in pots and they are 6 months (about 20 inch), grown from seed. I’d love to eat mangos in a few years. What should I do? Pruning and then grafting? Or grafting and then pruning? Thank you, you have such wonderful plants!!

@GardenTricks 4 года назад

If you have grown your mango trees from poly-embryonic seeds, then you may prune. The tree will produce fruits in less than 5 years and not required to be grafted. BUT if the trees are from mono-embryonic seeds, then first prune and then graft them. For Poly=embryonic seeds, see ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vtsKLOMvyCE.html

@eleonorac3894 4 года назад

Garden, Places, Health thank you very much!! I guess that my seeds were monoembryonic. The variety is Kent and the seed was smooth. To do the grafting: do I need a plant that already produced fruits? Or can I graft one of my little plants of mango on the other?

@GardenTricks 4 года назад

@rolexblack 4 года назад

Thank you fo this informative video. I have a two years old mango tree that I prune in late December, instead of getting 2-4 branches I got 7. Should I keep them all?.also every 2-3 weeks there is a growth flush and buds are formed. Should I prune when the plat is dormant in between these weeks as the branches are getting long or should I wait till autumn ( lose of preciase growth)? And finally when should I expect it to bare mango, please keep in mind Im living in Dubai.

@GardenTricks 4 года назад

It is good that your mango tree is growing well. You can keep all the 7 branches, or cut the one which is going inwards to clear for air circulation. Cut the branches again whenever they grow to 10-12 inches. The fruiting depends on the type of seed, the poly embryonic type will fruit in less than 5 years.

Dear Sirs, Your video of pruning a young mango tree is very interesting and educative. Thanks for the same. I have purchased yesterday 5 mango plants of different varieties, namely alphonso, kesar, badami, totapuri are grafted trees and there is one more which is from seed. These trees are about 1 to 1&1/2 years old and some have grown to about 5 feet with branches. The question is can I effect a cut on these grafted trees same like you have shown in the video above so that I can have 2 branches system like in yours ? Will there be any effect on the grafted portion of the main stem ? I want to finally pot them in big pots 24"x24". Will they grow same like yours ? Also I have other grafted fruit trees about a year old like pomegranate, guava, chickoo, sweet lime. Can I do the same way of pruning like above and have the same branching system to these trees or is there a different method ?? Kindly advise, Regards, Sharad

@GardenTricks 4 года назад

Thanks for your comments. Grafted trees: Never prune below the graft. You can prune above the graft. Mostly all the trees can be pruined.

@sharadbailur7009 4 года назад

Thanks ! Will I get the double branch if I cut the main stem above a node and above the graft say at about 1 feet height of the plant ( some plants are about 5 feet height) Sorry I am asking because I will be losing all the top branches with very few leaves below and I want to be 100% sure to get it right first up !

Question 1: Can this severe pruning technique be successfully applied to a 5 or 6 foot mango tree or any fruit tree that I've just bought from a nursery, especially when I don't like the current branching pattern on it? At what height would you recommend I make the first cut on such a tree? Question 2: Will there be any visible nodes found on a very small or 5 -6 foot tree when making the first low cut in order to cut just above the node? Or is it so, that for the first cut, nodes doesn't matter? Question 3: So if I make the first severe cut at the middle of a 6 or 12 inch stem, won't that just leave me with a 3 or 6 inch stump? Is that what you meant and is required? Looking forward to your reply. Thank you Sir! Pete :")

1. 5-6 foot tree: If there are multiple branches, then prune each branch by one third. If only one stem, then you can prune at about 1-2 feet high. This can be done on most trees. 2. It is better, if you cut above a node (stem joint). If you cannot find a node, just cut, the plant will branch out at nodes. 3. 6 to 10 inch stump is alright. Good luck!

@@GardenTricks (Referring to our previous conversation.) 1. So does that mean 4 - 6 foot trees must not / cannot be pruned down to 12 inches (the first cut) like in your video? I like to keep my trees short. :) 2. Do you mean to say that if I can't find nodes, just cut it anyway and the branches will grow out in time? 3. I'm confused now, 'cause if I do it as it's said in your video, it would leave me with a 3 or max 6 inch stump. So, are you saying that you have later found out from your own experiences that it's better & healthy to have a 6 to 10 inch stump, post initial hard pruning rather than an extremely short 3 inch stump? I guess being confused and puzzled a little bit in the beginning is okay. :)) Please give me some clarity for the above. Thank you Sir for your time and efforts to educate me. Much appreciated! Pete :")

@@alwayspete @alwayspete 1. You can cut to 1 foot high. 2. Yes, plant will branch out at any node below the cut, even if the node is not visible. 3. 3 inch stump may have some problem, the branches at such a low height may be infected from soil below, also while watering the leaves will get wet, causing fungus. Also if there is no bud in 3 inch stump, then the tree will produce a single branch from the soil and not from the stump.

@@GardenTricks 1. Previously I had asked my first question wrongly! Sorry about that!! I didn't mean to ask if I could prune down to 12 inches (1 foot). I meant to ask if could I prune down a 5 - 6 foot tree to a 6 - 10 inch stump. Or would this make no difference since the plant has grown up and is not a small plant? These 5 -6 feet trees have 8 - 9 branches. So will it be a con to prune it down to a 6 - 10 inch stump? Or would it still thrive regardless and become a short & smart tree given some time? :)) In your video, I guess that the small mango plant is being pruned down to 6 inches. Am I right here? 2. Clear! :))) 3. Oh I see now! Several cons of having a 3 inch stump!!! By bud, do you mean node? Wow! A single branch from the soil would be pointless as the graft would be rendered invalid, wouldn't it? Pete :")

@GardenTricks 3 года назад

@@alwayspete First of all, never prune below a graft. I would not prune such a grown up tree to 1 foot , I will only prune each of the branches. Yes, a node means the point where leaves emerge.

I have a two-and-a-half-year-old mango tree. It's about two and a half feet tall. Can I still cut it? I'm in an apartment, I have began many. This is the farthest I've ever gotten

@GardenTricks Год назад

You may cut the branches, leaving about 2,3 nodes. If it has no branches, then cut the trunk about 1 foot high.
