Gary Zill Talks Pruning Mango Trees

[@joujou0315]

Thank you. Please do a video on avocados... (Day, Madame Blanc, Poncho)

[@davidjslack]

Great information and great job capturing the Florida legacy in fruit trees

[@LeChristEstRoi]

Gary Zill is a living legend!

[@linaD08]

Great video!!! Paul, if I may ask, can you do an video of you actually pruning one of your mango trees once the season is over this year? It would be wonderful to see the actual decision making process of what needs cutting back and why. Thank you in advance!!!

[@rnr1728]

Great interview with great questions. Thanks Paul

[@artfulwatcher3812]

Paul with another great video with golden content. The mango wizard, Mr Zill himself. Man am I glad I found this channel. Thank you sir for your hard work putting this all together.

[@TheBradmd]

Great job Paul. What a wealth of information he is, and hope God blesses him even more for sharing

[@MsFishingdog]

Good job. On this video. Enjoyed watching.

[@lumeguru]

Very good information! Yes, if we do trim the top, we are estimulating The sideways grow, so a big tree is ever a big tree. Some people prun 2 metres back the whole canopy every year, but not in all cases the tree bares fruit in this way. I have most of mine earher small varieties, or dwarf ones. A big tree pruned is a big one , anyway, it has the growing habit of a big tree, ever shall be a big boss at your yard.😊 Be safe, cheer times folks.

[@misaventuras6995]

Great questions Paul, thanks.

[@jeff6899]

Outstanding ! Adapting / modulating some of this info to the low interior desert !

[@SouthFloridaSunshine]

Love him for trying so hard to dwarf mangos for “the people”we are very grateful. We need dwarf mango varieties since the yards ( since I moved here in 79) have shrunk down even more in South Florida.

When Mr. Zill talks, Listen.

[@FIUPanther305]

Great video

[@SouthFloridaSunshine]

Perfect timing and you lucky duck Paul! Just got a Peach Cobbler yesterday, so needed this :) Realized I bought something not great for my yard size watching one of your older videos.

[@backyardmangoes4333]

Great info.

[@AdvExplorer]

yes good advice, would love to see tips and active examples on it too, thank you for your videos we share similar values about growing and eating fruit!

[@ocneal]

Thanks, Paul. I’m way over here next to Disneyland on the West Cost in California. I’m kind of learning about all this mango business. Apparently, even as references in this video, California is much different in terms of weather, I presume. There’s a lot of other knowledge that you dispense which is worthwhile for growing mangos here. Once again, thank you.

[@LordTommygun]

Ian came and pruned mine into a totem pole here in Englewood lol.

[@captainramom3367]

Nice

[@kentknowles3433]

Great interview Paul. Can you go into detail by example and explain what is a flush, how to identify it and how to identify old wood or hard wood from new. These terms are thrown around but never fully explained an shown. Thanks keep up the great work.

[@FruitfulTrees]

i'll be uploading a video of me pruning my tree

[@manojdpatel]

How and where can I get Miyazaki plants or a scions please let me know

[@KeysTreasures]

Excellent and informative video. I've grown many plants in "Grow Bags" up to 25 gallons. They are available at 100+ gallons. Could you talk about fruit trees grown this way?

[@manojdpatel]

Do you have Miyazaki mango plants available?

[@themaestro7922]

TELL HIM WE WANT MORE FROM HIM! Hours more.

[@FruitfulTrees]

full interview coming soon

[@originaldanman]

Have a 60 year old Pettigrew at about 30' and a 35 year old Zil at about 20', cut them back to 7' two years ago. The Zil died and but the Pettigrew needs to be cut back again. Like Walter said, the big wounds have not healed and one of the branches coming out next to the wound had so many mangos it broke off. I probably got about 150 off it this year. One thing I noticed about this mango is that the first fruit aren't even worth eating, but by the end of the season they are amazing, and their ripening time is spread out over a month and a half. Picked the first fruit in the beginning of June and still have 4 on the tree.

[@juliandidonato3700]

good timing for this topic.I need to trim quite a bit off of mine. thanks Paul. Question: I have an excellent tasting mango, and I lost the tag for it and don't remember the name. Is there a way I can post a photo or 2 to see if it can be identified? I looked at a ton of photos and I can't find an exact match

[@FruitfulTrees]

Better to take the mango to someone to taste for a better identification

[@Ismael-o9h]

Paul I am looking for good prices on tropical sand also breadfruit tree and guama

[@FruitfulTrees]

don't know about the sand, only a few people sell breadfruit and they are on the expensive side everywhere.

[@nancyolan6686]

We're can I buy a lancetilla mango tree

[@TheMinor7th]

I’m just moved in to a new house with a massive mango. The base trunk is 30-40 inches wide and the tree is 30 ft tall. The drip line is probably 60-70ft in diameter. It seems he is recommending that I cut it down. Dang it

[@FruitfulTrees]

wow that's big
