Pruning Young Mango Trees

[@luisefearango]

Thank you for your serial of videos on Pruning and mango in general. They have been very helpful. I am planting 500 Mangoes in Cali Colombia. Luis

[@shivamaraj7055]

Priceless information. Much thanks for sharing

[@fiat5001963]

Hello, thanks for the video!!! Great help for those of us who are new at planting trees. I planted a Carrie Mango tree 2 years ago. She has not had fruit yet but I'm hoping next year. Watching your video you mention, "remove the old bloom spikes..." not sure what those are and what they look like... could you elaborate a little. Also, branches that are woody and not healthy.. how can I tell??? THANKS!!!!

[@putiwang7679]

I have Carrie mango, so delicious. It's second year i get fruit.

[@wishnilove]

You should have done a close up on the"woody"branches and the flowered branches.

Richard, I have a small mango tree. It is about a year old, and all it really is for now is a vertical stick with leaves on it. It is about a foot and a half, and I am thinking that it is time to start shaping it, so that it will spread out. How do I do that? I do not want to kill it by snipping off the tip ( don't know if it would do that - I haven't grown a mango before). Thanks in advance, your skill and knowledge really show in the video... thank you for sharing it with us.

[@gulftoad]

questions regarding bloom spikes: - is it advisable to tip a branch just behind the base of bloom spikes? - should I remove a bloom spike that has leaves growing from it, but no fruit? - is it advisable to remove unhealthy, fruitless bloom spikes while tree is fruiting?

Excellent video

[@Syncere20]

I have a 4 month old mango tree I transplanted it but I left it in my car to long and the very top little baby leaves dried out. What do I do now ? Should I cut the top off where the dried leaves are ? Thank you for your help.

[@saroo7497]

Are the trees grafted ones?

[@ashishmishra7796]

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.

[@yousafabbas6914]

Hi sir actually i wanted to seek information regarding bloom spike pruning. 1) is it advised to tip a branch just behind the base of the spike bloom? 2) should i remove the bloom spike that has leaves growing from it, but no fruit? 3) should i tip all the branches where it had no reproductive growth ( only vegetative) on the stage when the fruit on the other branches is small sized like Pea sized ? in order to promote vegetative growth during fruit

[@pabrici7236]

I need HELP! I have an about 10 year old mango tree in my small front yard. I would love it to blossom as a very big tree but i just have a small yard so i have to make the mango tree small. This (about) 10 year old mango tree, i have cut it in half of its length several months ago. Now, several months later, it has many small branches around its stem that sprung out. Bear in mind that i want/need just a small mango tree for my little front yard. I don't know what to do to make it the way i want it. I want a mango tree but only the litte version of it. What/how will i do to make it? If i could share some photos of it here i will, so that you'll see it. Thank you

[@Derek_Wong]

So is this a dwarf mango tree, or are you just keeping it small by trimming it down?

[@AyaFirst]

Thanks for the videos. Can you put one for pruning carambolas and doing espalier like in the fruit orchard at Fairchild? Thanks.

I have grown from seed 2 mango trees, Dr. Campbell... An Artfulo which is about 3.5 ft & the Haden which is about 9 ft, as of today. I have been told, that I can grow them from seed & then heard I should have grafted trees. Please if you can advise me, how to bring out the best of the Seedling Mango Trees, that I have started so they can bare fruit. Thank you so very much.....

Dear sir, may I ask which branches should we keep and which branches should we remove in order to keep the size of the tree but still giving a lot of fruit? how long will the mango tree keep trying to grow upward? thanks a lot, Jesus bless you.

[@fairchildgarden]

Hi! Thank you so much for your question. There are a lot of pruning tips for mango trees, please refer to our Mango pruning and training guide: www.fairchildgarden.org/Portals/0/Mango%20and%20fruit%20growing%20pdf%20articles/2017-Training%20and%20Pruning%20a%20Mango%20Orchard.pdf?ver=2018-06-11-122542-230&timestamp=1528734431149. It was written by our Tropical Fruit experts here at Fairchild. Thank you and please let us know if you have any other questions.

[@suepoo121]

Do you recommend removing the flowers the first year of planting so that the tree can focus on growing? How much does stopping it from fruiting really benefit the tree? I am going to plant one in my yard this weekend and have been wondering how to best treat the tree. Mangos are my favorite and I don't want to stop it from fruiting if it only marginally benefits the tree. Of course if it is highly beneficial, I'll do it.

It is interesting to combine species for fructification, for mango seedlings. is there any specific variety to make it or can it be done with any variety? 2) hacer podas de conservación, prevención es importante para conservar un cultivo con las características deseadas. si por alguna razón las podas no se hacen de la mejor manera que porcentaje de probabilidad hay en que los próximos frutos no tengan los estándares esperados o exigidos para exportación? to do preservation, prevention is important to preserve a cultivar with undesirable characteristics. if for some reason the products are not made in the best way that percentage of probability is that the next fruits do not have the expected or required standards for export?

Is it normal that mango tree has dark red leaves? I planted a mango tree from a seed and it sprang about a week ago. It grows nicely, every day it makes new leaves and old leaves just grow on?

[@berleezysbigassforehead5656]

Zagica the dark leaves are just new growth

[@sureshbabu643]

Pruning should not be done immediately after harvesting,we must give rest for 15 days atleast

[@stainless0521]

this is all very nice but you are assunming your audience knows something. What about those that don't! What are 'bloom spikes'? What do they look like??? What do 'unhealthy leaves' look like? You've got the video. Why can't you show us!

[@may.africa]

stainless0521just look on what he is doing. He is doing it, while talking. And please, dont blame him for your ignorance. Maybe searching a little will do you good, instead of putting the blame on him just a thought

[@may.africa]

this is the first time i saw this video, and i clearly understood every word he said. hahaha

[@gulftoad]

stainless0521 bloom spike are the pointy branch-like outgrowths that flowers and (hopefully) fruit grow on. google/youtube search "mango blossoms" for pictures and videos.
