Mango Trees and Cold Weather 

I'm in Las Vegas and have mangoes trucking through their first winter here. One of them hasn't gotten any damage at all at 29F (ice cream) and the other two (alphonso & manila) have sustained a little outer leaf damage. I'm hoping by them pulling thru this mild winter that they'll be prepared for an almost certainly more severe winter next winter.

Excellent info and presentation. Thank you! Looks like I'll be taking my mango trees (1 yr old in pots) into the house this year for our 2-week Arizona winters. Although it's short it can get down to 32 and sometimes 27 for a couple days. This winter I didn't take them in they survived kept under our bushy tree that sits against the house wall prob kept them warm enough. But after seeing your video I'm not taking any chances this year and will bring them inside for the 2 week winter.

Wow thank you. I live in Northern California (Fremont) and am considering planting a mango tree. This game me a lot of tips on how to best do it

Thank you 🙏. I worry about hurricanes for half the year and cold the other half. Love your videos 🙂

The tarp tent idea is genius

Thank you chris.......for me living in perth Western Australia is most definitely the most relevant information i needed. Fingers crossed i am now bracing myself for next winter.

Thanks for the good tips! Now I have to figure out on my young mango tree that was messed up during this crazy Freeze 2021 Texas

Interesting here in southeast Texas we get some frosts time to time and varies on season. I’ve seen a winter where there was no winter here. We have banana trees and they sometime produce, they’re producing now. The only thing I can say is mulch the hell out the ground. Cold/freezing wind is hard to block off. Thank you for your videos they are very informing!!

Thank you Chris a timely topics. Trying to grow several types in central Ca. zone 9b. My Nan Boc Ma made it thru last years winter and produced 3-4 fruit I bought 5 more types this spring and they are taking a beating but still alive. :)

The dog is convinced he found something! I'm growing them in the SanFran bay area and its all strictly blooms in spring...they never bloom in winter here. Slow growers..more for fun. Because it's at least a ten year wait to get a good crop out of one tree . Why I tell people- plant 3,4,5,. BTW,Not that it takes 10 years for them to fruit..they can do that the first year you plant them. But..amounts that fill a bowl is quite a wait.

I have my trees in large pots and plan to put on wheels. I plan to roll them under a canopy. I brought a couple outdoor propane heaters. I hope this works. I’m just north of Orlando.

I am also mango farmer. Our fruits are world wide best choice to eat with its amazing taste and quality. I will also share details on my channel in a couple of days.

I guess it's better to transplant my Fruit Punch after the next "last frost" and risk the heat rather than the frost. Mine is in a container right now and I want to grow it out a bit before risking transplant so I guess I'll be growing it out over the next year and transplanting it then. We had 3 days in a row at 26-29f but a typical frost in my area is around 33-36f. I'll run XMas lights on my mango come winter :)

💜 Appreciate your sharing! 👍 🌟

Excellent insights and info.

Sir, great information on your channel, I regularly watch your videos.

Thank you for your video. Question: How tall is the mango tree should be, 10 feet? If it is over 10 feet tall, can I cut it?

great video.

On the story of the mango trees that eventually died from frost. Did they ever produce fruit again before they all died? We just had a tough week in SW Florida. Temps were down to the upper twenties three times in one week. I know our mango season is done for this season but was wondering if they will ever bloom again. My yard reminds me of the Agent Orange (defoliant) they dropped in Vietnam that killed all the jungle growth. Thanks for your videos.

So where exactly does cold impact? Is it the roots that get damaged, or it is the trunk that gets hit by cold. I'm trying to figure out a solution - like planting Mango trees next to a heated pond and spray the warm water during cold spells.

In a back in Lakeland I have no problem with frost hose down with water before sunrise

Great video, as usual Chris...I had heard/believed ~40 degrees initial possible damage on flowering...and 27-25 on severe damage or death to mature mango trees..below freezing on very young mango trees...shouldn't we be removing all flowering this early in Winter ?

The ☀️s making it look 👀 warmer than it actually is I know it's super cold in Bangladesh 🇧🇩 there is like a similar cold snap I'm not there right now but I know from the news and family about that

I like your dog. Is he a jack russel?

So informative 👍🏾

5.57 straight to how to protect your tree

Will applying a sprinkler system above the mango tree protect the blossoms from damage much like they do for citrus trees?

I live in a Mediterranean country, and tropical fruits like banana and avocado are grown here and with a very good taste. Do you think we can grow a mango tree here and which varieties do you advice? Lowest temperature in a year is 44 degrees but the climate is dry and hot in summer. We have no water issues. But my only concern is dryness in summer and frost at winter.

Thanks

isn't wet soil during cold snap a recipe for root rot with evergreen/tropical trees? What is a reason to water mango before cold snap when they significantly drop their transpiration rate? There is more benefit from mulching heavily around root zone and keeping it moist than letting them sit in wet soil during cold weather.

Will mango trees grow without precautions in Lake Placid Florida (just north of Lake Okeechobee). It's May and tonight's low is 68F.

Hi. I have a 4 year old mallika and it hasnt sent a flush of new leaves or blossom at the end of march. Is this usual. Thanks.

Is it possible to induce late blooming on select branches by late pruning the previous year?

8:13 how far north do you suppose you could grow mangos like this???

Is pine straw a good mulch for new mango trees?

Are you from Florida USA or Australia?

Can I grow mangos in Chicago?

1989 is when it snowed in Jax I remember

Dragon fruit, Lee-Chi, and Sugar Apple trees can handle cold weather.

We didn't have a frost in the forecast, went out of town and even though we had watered well before we left, we came home to mango trees with all of the leaves brown and dried out. Some of the branches still have a little green on them, others are all brown. They are pretty young trees. We don't know how cold it got or for how long. Is there a chance that the trees are still alive?

Yes mango trees doesnot flourish in frost .these plants are tropical plants reguire plenty of sun shine not more than 40 oc .in summer plenty of monsoon ...no alkaline soil soil Ph 6 to 7 should not exceed.....good fertilisation with calcium ..mango plants bloom in winter temperature not exceeding to frost....mango plants have a tendancy to bloom alternate year ...with good cultural practices a farmer get regular crop the main problum witth flower and fruit drop is sooty mould infection cause by leaf hoppers than secondry infection by black mould the whole panicle became brownish black droop down same with the small fruits ......stem borer ..white ants .powdery mildew Anthracnose fruit rot ..leaf curl in alkaline soils fruit flies are the problums in mango cultivation ......

Do you believe my florigon mango tree will thrive here in riverside California?

Celcius is what is used by billions of people. Shame I need to stop and Google a chart.

How far north of delray will mango trees survive?

when he thinks cold 30s when i think cold -60s

1.25 playback speed will help. Not trying to be mean lol

Dog Likes mango tree

OMG 26 PEOPLE DIED
