Great video!! Very descriptive. Thank you soo much!! I'm in zone 9b in California. I have a grafted Glenn. I plan to prune next year, I feel like we're too late in the season to tip as temperatures start cooling down in fall.

You have got a lot of knowledge on mango trees. I have learned a lot from watching your Channel. I live on an Island Called Pohnpei which on the pacific side near the equator and our mango trees grow massive. I am talking over 100'. We have some great tasting mango but very hard to pick since they are so tall. The only way to pick them is to climb. It was easy for me when i was younger but now I am not able to do it so easily and I know it's going to get harder as the years go by. I am going to plant and graft some of the best once that I know of and try to train the trees young and see if I can get them to bear while they are still short. I have seen similar Mango here like some of the ones you have shown on your channel but not sure if they are the same. We have our own name for our Mango here but I have no Idea what they are in English. Some are great tasting when they are still green but not very sweat when they are ripe and some are very bitter when they are green but very very sweat when they are ripe. Well I just wanted to thank you for all the great and free knowledge. Thanks

Thanks a lot. I learned a great deal from you .

Hello, I'm from the southern Caribbean and I received a dwarf Julie mango tree recently. We have about 75 different varieties of mangoes here on the island and this is the first time I'm growing one myself. I was looking for a video on how to take care of them and prune them. Thank you for explaining it so thoroughly. You really explained it so well so I know how to go about trimming the branches without doing harm to the tree.

I like your work

Thanks Madam from Tamilnadu.

Thanks for the ideas. I got 9 mengo trees which are more than 25 years old.

great video

is it recommendable to make these cuts to young trees that still don't produce fruits, during spring or summer?

This is what I am looking for. Finally got it. Thanks team.

Thanks

Is it important to prune at an angle? (for mango or any trees) Is it important to prune at a specific direction to influence how a branch grows out? (for mango or any trees) Is it safe to prune during the heavy monsoon season? (mango or any trees) Getting to know these would be a start! Thank you! P.S. I like your T-shirt! Pete :")

I've made cuts in different places on the stem, and noticed that branching develops better if I make a cut closer to the node. I cut half way between nodes and got a bunch of branches or like a cluster though and wonder if I should leave or cut further. What would you recommend? Is a cluster okay or a nice smooth branch instead?

My mango is growing in a v at the base. It has two branches growing from the root. Everyone’s I see has one trunk, should I cut one of the branches and if so, which one?

I have 4 year old mango plant which is 6 feet tall without branch. How can I prune it now. I was not aware of pruning. Will it harm if I cut it in mid?

Hi Chris I recently got a mango tree that is very similar to one of your trees in the video. The problem i am facing is the tree has 3 branches that came out at the original tipping point. Since then it looks like only one if the branches is still alive and the living branch has grown and added new leaves. Now the tree looks very long with one branch pointing upward. I was wondering if you are able to share some advice on how to approach this. I thought 3 possible options however your knowledge in this area would be greatly appreciate. I thought i could either prune the tip to try and expand branches on the leftover branch, or air layer the tree a root the upper half, then cut below the dead branches with the hope of expanding branches, or just cut the mango below the 3 previous branches that were formed from the earlier tipping. I am very new to this and very open to any advice or knowledge you are willing to share. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge via all the awesome videos

Thank you for your tips I have some young trees mangoes, can you help me to prune them?

Any advice? My tree is dying,its still very small. Great video!

Thank you for your video. I love to plant some mango & papaya trees after I am retired. Question: What is the perfect distance between two mango tress?

I missed out on my Pickering fruiting this year ( 8- year old tree ) I believe powdery mildew got it before I caught it. I would like to use potassium nitrate to stimulate flower production and try for a late season crop. I only have one tree and we love the Pickering mango. What are the thoughts on spraying now in early May? Thanks Ron

I have a small grafted mango it's mybe one year old there are some flowers are on my small mango and the leave are getting yelled from the corner I'm thinking to prune it or remove the flowers only ?

Hi what I can spray after pruning for not get disease on the cut area is copper fungicide ok?

Which month in the year is suitable for this prunig ?,all trees does pruning?

I want to keep my potted mango and guava trees small (3 and 7 gallons). When and how should I cut the trunk?

Is there any thing I should put on the the cut area after pruning?

Can you root the pruned branches?

I must have pruned above a growth ring because it grew eight or nine branches. Should I cut some new branches and how many branches should i leave?

My mango sapling is over 5 feet tall and has not been pruned. Is it OK to prune it back to 3 feet? I'm in the Space Coast of Florida, can I prune in December, January?

When would you stop pruning. I recently took on the care of a young mango tree bout a year after uprooting it from a neighbor who no longer wanted it. No fruits have produced as of yet. Been giving lots of water and minimal pruning. New leaves have started to grow up. I wonder if i should be feeding it more fertilizer or any other natural substances for better growth during these hot Florida times.

When is the right size of the plant and time of the year to move mango plant from the pot to the ground?

At what year root circling starts in polythene bag or container of grafted tree.

What kind of saw and pruners you were using

Can I prune Kent mango tree to keep it small

Great examples especially tree #2. Dry detailed on how to determine where u want a branch to grow. I’ve since cut all my trees below the growth rings, tipped others and cleared the centers of branches that were crossing. It hurt but it made since after this video. Now my question. Should I now 1) feed to promote growth and 2) no additional pruning til next year!

USEFUL TIPS 👍

Which month is perfect for pruning mango tree thanks

I have an Alphonso ten years old but not flowering you have any solution I hope your valuable information from India

Do you have a video explaining pruning a a young mango that's flowering but you do not want it to fruit because it's still too young? I have heard mix thing and don't know what to do... I have a grafted Nam Doc Mai that's only 2ft tall, but it's now flowering... thank you

Is it possible that I can do pruning for an eight years old mango tree

Are those bolt cutters?

You said," Every tree every year" . Does this mean we prune 1st year seedlings too ? If so, I would love to see the example. Thank you for your time. Nice video.

What happens when the tree has blossoms and yet new leaves are also coming out?

Hi, I am from middle Europe, and trying to grow seeds from shop bought mangoes, maybe from Brazil, monoembryonic ones, in a greenhouse, in winter inside of the house. My seeds are not growing much in the full sun in June after germination outside in my greenhouse(not heated), in the shade better. Inside in front of the window is the best, just from spring till September. I get end of May outside 10-13 degrees in Celsius at night, maybe it is too cold daily max. is 25-27 degrees Celsius, what is about 40 C at noon in the greenhouse. In the house constantly 20- 24 degrees Celsius, and they grow in summer every month 1 section(15-20 cm) rapidly.I mean house and inside, where i live so no greenhouse, just in front of the window, no humidity. Of course the bigger plants can handle 40 degrees Celsius in my greenhouse and they grow a couple of sections, but slower than inside..I sprinkle the leaves with water every day. Can you give an explanation for monoembryonic and polyembryonic seeds, and the difference? As far i know a polyembryonic seed has multiple shoots,one of them perhaps the smallest is not true to type, the others are clones of the mother tree. So a monoembryonic seed, with one shoot, has not the genetics of the mother plant, then what? It will flower much later..why? And it won't be so tasty? I am a bit confused:) Can i get good fruits from a mono-seed? My oldest mono-tree is about 4,5 years old and maybe 1/3 the size of yours in Florida:) Any asian varieties growing better in my region with not much humidity, of course in containers? I have 4 seasons :) Thanks, Adam

I have newly grafted mango after two new shoot grew about 8 inches then the rest of the buds starting to push out little bit then it start to falls off. Do you know what's wrong?

Sounds like Sidney Powell.

Are you transjender ?

How much do you sell your trees for?

I have an Alphonso ten years old but not flowering you have any solution I hope your valuable information from India
