How to Force a Mango to Bloom

[@Ahijahprince]

A very informative video, Randy! You spelled out all the necessary info! Still, by the comments of some, I'm forced to remember the old saying: "you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink!" Thanks, keep doing what you do!

[@Hey-dm7vo]

Just spray them with potassium nitrate soloution on dormant buds !

[@Trinayraj]

I knew there will a hero without a cape here ... 😂

[@parikshitwankhade993]

Can we use the same in mandrin oranges flowering problem...

[@jahd5790]

In the Philippines they do force their mango trees to bloom too. They do that because of the weather. It rains so much and you won't know when. It rains even in dry season sometimes and we know rain, even just small drizzle can destroy flowers. They do it when it's dry season too and when they think it will not rain. They also don't prune the trees that's why they can't really protect their trees from rain which should have been manageable if they did that, a tree is like a huge tree

[@dorarockefeller2670]

Hey Randy, just wanted to let you know that the Barbados Cherry i got from you last year is doing great. I got my first blooms last week. Only 2 but i was excited considering it is only a year old.

[@Sheikyerbouti8]

So awesome! I love this kind of feedback. So much. I'm so glad your tree is doing well for you.

[@edletts2219]

Very interesting information. I was thirty years old before I even seen a mango. I'm retired and from Oregon, and now I live in northern Thailand and we have about a dozen mango trees on our property surrounding our house and most are just starting to produce a few mangos. The year before last one tree produced two 5 pound mangoes. I have one tree that grew from a seed some workman threw in the dirt beside the house 5 years ago. I was concerned that it hasn't had blooms yet. It's a nice looking tree and full of bird's nests. I see I should wait a few more years, and the watering information was useful.

[@martingoodef811]

ed letts I also live in Isaan, how are your mango trees? (Now 3 years later )

[@edletts2219]

@@martingoodef811 Last year we had more Mangoes than we could eat, and it looks like it's going to be the same this year. That one tree that grew from a seed that a workman threw away produced about 3 mangoes 2 years ago. The taste wasn't very good and they were small. Last year it had about 6 mangoes on it and the taste was much better. This year the tree is full of mangoes, although a lot of them fell off during a strong wind storm we had a couple of days ago, but the tree still has plenty of mangoes. They are rather small, but I'm looking forward to see what they taste like. There were some people in the neighborhood who had small fruit on their tree, but the fruit itself was very good. It almost had a tangerine mango flavor to it. I was going to see if I could get some grafts, but they just cut the thing down. As I stated before, the trees are doing quite well, a couple had problems with bugs and I didn't spray them soon enough, but over all I'm happy with my trees.

[@vijayaponnala8321]

I did spray twice as u said lots of new buds came but no flowers what should I do now

[@dreamgamingofficial407]

You got any new trick for get more fruits?

[@mikenewman4078]

Well done Randy. Foliar fertiliser is used quite a bit in horticulture. Strawberries respond well to application, usually a few trace elements as well. Our mango flowering time is about July with the fruit available Xmas/ New Year. Rain after fruit set can be a pain, a lot of fruit drops. Our tree is a Bowen about 50 years old and clearly a seedling tree. I do recommend a grafted tree as they are much more compact. Ours needs constant pruning, I don't like to prune it too hard as we like the shade. Xmas under mango shade is a family tradition. We would do better if we gave it the classic Bowen haircut, right back to the stump. No shade and the need to paint the stump white, mango back sunburn badly, so nah.

[@golamfaruque1796]

Randy tropical plant, PACLOBUTRAZOLE 15-20% works great.The powder looks to me PACLOBUTRAZOLE. Instead of foliar spray, you also could spray at the base of the trunk if it doesn't have the ingredients of real stump remover. I've been using that for years.

[@Sheikyerbouti8]

Never used it, but yeah, anything that inhibits gibberellic acid will do it. I don't use systemic organic compounds on plants that produce fruit that I eat. Paclobutrazole is a systemic triazole fungicide. Not as bad as a lot of the other chemicals used in agriculture, but I still wouldn't sprinkle it on my cheerios. I'm sort of in the middle ground when it comes to the use of certain chemicals. I DO use systemic pesticides, as well as systemic fungicides, but never on my food plants. I get it though, some things just work so why not use them. I'm not against it. Some people freak out when they find out that I use non-organic fertilizers (gasp). Then they don't want to buy my plants. I would be more on board with the organic gardening movement if it weren't so frequently based on woo-science. It gets a little crazy actually. I've had arguments with people that say that synthetic fertilizers are made from petroleum, which is insane. Petrolem is alkanes, there's very little to no, nitrogen, phosphorus or potassium in them. It's commonly believed though. When it comes to my plants, I use what works, but I am a bit more selective with my food. The "stump remover" I use these days is a laboratory grade pure substance, sold to me as a fuel additive for certain racing fuels. Just fast forward to the end of my video. I hold up a sign with the chem formula. I'm only secretive about it because I don't want to get fined by the USDA, since I'm selling it. Cheers amigo.

[@jamestropicals8262]

Do you water mango trees in the spring, summer and fall and stop watering in the winter? I live in central Utah and my grafted mango tree is growing indoors since winters coming. I’m watering it less in the fall but water it more in the spring and summer

[@Sheikyerbouti8]

Me, no, but that's because I live in Tamnpa Florida, where the rain pattern is almost perfect for them. Plus my trees have taproots that extend down to groundwater, so they don't really need water ever. If its a REALLY hot, dry Spring, then I'll water a few times a week until the summer rains begin. You, yes, but don't completely stop watering in winter, because your tree is in a pot and does not have a taproot that extends to groundwater. Just water way less and let it dry out more between watering.

[@cesarfernandez3913]

I just purchased a couple of your packs I'm really looking forward to seeing it bloom I have two mango trees thank you for the advice and product. I didn't know not to water it during winter but then again it hasn't really gotten cold out here in Florida

Thank you so much. It doesn't get cold in India where they are form, either, but there is a distinct wet season (summer) and dry season (winter).

[@indica77]

Did you use the stump remover as is or did you extract the chemical out? How long did it took for you to see the results?

[@Sheikyerbouti8]

As it is. It is over 99% pure as is. For any product, if you aren't sure, look up the MSDS for it online. When I do this, I get panicles beginning to pop out after two or three weeks.

Hi legally I can't. Blame the USDA for that. Watch the whole video. The exact information you are looking for, is there. I just can't come right out and say it or the USDA could fine me. If you were to read all of the comments that other viewers have left, you might find the information there too. Cheers.

[@Sheikyerbouti8]

Hi Julianne. It's not a patented material. It's a simple ionic compound that people have used for various purposes for thousands of years. By calling this product stump remover, it no longer falls under the jurisdiction of the USDA. It comes down to having to spend ridiculous amounts of money to perform extensive laboratory analyses. Not to mention the legal fees. In other words, unreasonable amounts of red tape. I know people who have developed hydroponic nutrients who have had all of their products pulled for what are pretty much BS reasons. My friends that manage a chain of Hydroponic stores are frequently being raided by the USDA for the products on their shelves, so this is a very real issue, and the fines can be substantial. It's now much more difficult for me to get certain highly effective products that I used to use such as gibberellic acid, due to these regulatory nightmares. To compound the problem, this material is also regulated by the NSA, the FBI and the Dept of Homeland security. As you implied, it is not impossible to make claims about the product or to disclose its chemical make up, but to do that legally would cost me more money than it is worth to me, since I can't even patent this product. I just wanted to make people aware of this process and to provide them with a product to use in order to do it. I barely make any money off of this at it is. At this point I think I've made enough in net profit from selling the stump remover, to buy a pizza. I'm not doing this for the money. I do this more for the love of growing tropical plants and to help other people do the same. Thanks for commenting though.

[@jamestropicals8262]

1:34 Will the mango tree start to die if you never water it in the winter?

[@Sheikyerbouti8]

Every area is going to be different. Where I live, in Tampa FL, once a tree has its taproot fully grown, they rarely need water at all. I only water in Spring when it is very hot and dry, and I don't do that every year, only when it is hotter and drier than usual. In past years, I've literally gone multiple years with out any supplemental watering. This year and last year, I irrigated in Spring. Never in Winter though. A newly planted tree needs water, regularly, for several months and up to 1+ years, but after that, they are quite amazing at securing their own water. Even with newly planted mangoes, I back off a lot on water in winter, if not entirely.

[@reefman46]

just one question you mentioned something about winter where are you from can a mango tree be planted in the state of connecticut its a stupid question but if i could i would have a few of them lol

[@Sheikyerbouti8]

I'm in Florida. Not a stupid question. It's not impossible, but my advice would be to stick to apples, cherries, plums and pears. Planting a mango outdoors in CT is out of the question. You can grow dwarf mangoes in pots though. Pickering is one of the smallest, if not the smallest, dwarf mango. Pickering is easily kept under six feet productively and it will produce in a container. You'd need to keep it as a houseplant during the freezing months, in a bright South facing window, or under high intensity grow lights. Keeping a mango tree healthy in your climate will be difficult, but I know a woman in Canada who fills her apartment with citrus trees, mangoes, and other tropical fruit trees, in Winter, and moves them outside in Summer. She gets fruit too, but not a lot of it. So, it's do-able, but not ideal either. Don't bother trying to grow seedlings or non-dwarf varieties, unless you don't care whether or not you get fruit.

[@mrsupert3562]

I am from Kingston ,Jamaica and used to have a Julie mango tree in my yard and it would bear all year round. Never used any form of fertilizer or enhancer .

Awesome! Yes that's how things grow in Jamaica. You'd be surprised how many Jamaicans come to me for advice on growing the plants they have been growing all of their lives. They move to Florida and all of a sudden they can't get them to grow. Not everywhere is like Jamaica.

How old does the mango tree have to be before you can force it to flower?

[@renantemalinao8677]

A huge 70+ year old mango tree can be forced to blossom three times in a year with out stressing the tree. Just divide which side (North, South, East or West) of the tree to be sprayed with. Spray North side only. after few months spray south side only. Forcing the six year old tree to bear fruit would damage its soft branches during windy nights.

[@agriperma]

Here in the tropics, we use KN02 ( potassium nitrate ) to initiate flowering on plantations. I have read that Urea will also work. Its important that you also prune your tree , this should be done, at would normally be after your harvest time. ( usually summer ), new growth will be about 3-5 months old, when you apply your foliar spray in winter or early spring. ( when that variety normally would flower ). As you mentioned in the video, stress, is key factor for mango trees to "know" when they should flower. wet and warm winters, are what prevent many trees from flowering, also nitrogen, in the winter is a big no no. If the tree thinks its going to die, it will flower. In India, old traditional method was to start fires under the tree, the smoke, triggers stress, and the trees will flower. another method, is to get the machete and whack a few cuts around the trunk, and main limbs. I do not recommend the above two methods, just mentioned them, to make a point about the stress trigger. Here is the Caribbean, we do not get the cold fronts, and sometimes, get rain in the winter, ( instead of the normal dry period ). So KN02 is a absolute necessity for commercial farmers. it also sync the flowering on all the trees, so that harvest is not extended. So varieties have no problem, and will flower every year, no matter the weather. my Pickering, and Ice Cream. are like that, Kesar seems to be ok too.

[@Sheikyerbouti8]

+agriperma Hi. Thanks for watching. I agree with everything you said. One nit picky thing though. Potassium nitrate is KNO3 not KNO2. I was a chemist for fourteen years so I tend to be a bit anal about formula units. Not trying to be a jerk. Cheers.

[@agriperma]

Sorry my bad, thank you for correcting me, KNo3 . that's what I get for relying on my memory at 3AM, I have read that KN03 has limited effectiveness at higher latitude, I am assuming this is due to other "triggers" taking priority. anyway , look forward to more videos on this subject,

[@ahmedidiris9526]

please jam very interested in air laying ,but how many days would it take before citing it for transplanting

[@Sheikyerbouti8]

Hello If you are referring to air-layering mangoes, I would advise against it. It is possible to root mango trees this way, but air-layered mangoes will grow slowly for years and never really take off or become vigorous trees. I've never heard of one becoming a producing tree. They usually just sort of peter out and die after several years of growing very slowly. This is because mango trees need a taproot to grow properly, and they only grow a taproot from a seed. This is why mangoes are always grafted onto a seedling rootstock. Air layering is a very useful way to propagate many different kinds of plants, just not mangoes. If you want to know more about air-layering in general, please feel free to email me at [e-mail]. Cheers!

[@itskarl79]

so does potassium nitrate cause all tropical plants to flower?

[@Sheikyerbouti8]

[@kenshanbackyardgarden]

Smudging (Smoke) technique is the best and natural way to induce or force your mango tree to bloom.

[@punasurf4697]

I have a very large mango tree. No way to get to the top. Can I treat the lower branches only and get results on those branches or does the entire tree need to be coated? Can you explain who this treatment counter acts a very wet winter season? Mahalo

[@Sheikyerbouti8]

I don't know the answer to your first question. As I learned this method, I was told that every leaf needed to be treated in order to shock the tree. So, I guess the answer is, it can't hurt to try. The hypothesis about how this works exactly, is that mangoes need to be under stress in order to initiate blooming. Normally this is achieved by lack of water in the dry season. This method stresses the tree with a sudden, large concentration, of nitrogen, directly into the phloem tissue, via foliar application. Other methods involve slashing the bark and using hot smoke from smudge pots, and those methods work too, but they also damage the tree. This method does not do any damage when done correctly. Mahalo to you too amigo. Cheers!

[@Sheikyerbouti8]

I've wondered that same thing, myself. I have never tried.

[@hi2hai]

Does this method work for all fruit trees?

[@cuppy3874]

I assume not, at least with this specific method. Most fruit trees (and some tree seeds) you can trigger to bloom or grow by giving them a "winter trigger". this depends on the type of tree. Ex. Mango, it's climate is natively warmer and does not go below freezing so as the video said the dry cool winter will trigger blooms. But for apple trees (most north american species) a cold snowy below freezing winter will trigger it. While most trees don't prefer extreme colds they can survive them and it can trigger blooms. And pine seeds grow by being implanted in the ground in fall, winter germinating them and once snow has melted away they will sprout (Basically germination by triggering a winter to spring cycle)

[@jamestropicals8262]

No, not all trees

[@jamestropicals8262]

I was watering my grafted mango tree just a little bit this winter because the soil was getting very dry and I was worried that the tree might die

[@Sheikyerbouti8]

Depends on how newly planted the tree is. A newly planted tree will need water, but a well established mango rarely needs any irrigation. At least not here in Florida.

Grafting mangoes is challenging. You have to time it carefully. I myself have not mastered grafting them. I get 5-10 failures for every successfully grafted tree. So don't feel too bad. From seed it is usually at least 5 years to produce, but the climate you are in makes a huge difference. Here in Tampa Florida it can take a lot longer than 5 years to produce from seed.

@@dinambudomo It only works for mango trees not any other fruit tree

[@asianangler]

you have a video to show how to force a mango to get bigger instead of dropping at pea sized?

[@Sheikyerbouti8]

No video, unfortunately. It's normal for a panicle to set many fruits, only to have most of them to drop, leaving only a few fully developed fruits per panicle, but if they are all dropping off, try a copper fungicide to keep anthracnose from killing the panicles, or damaging the developing fruit. Here in Florida, anthracnose is a very common culprit for that. A citrus foliar nutrient spray can help decrease fruit drop too.

[@asianangler]

and if anthracnose is not the culpit? I forgot to mention it's in a 15 gallon container, bout 5 years old, either a glenn or kent.

[@Sheikyerbouti8]

Try the foliar nutrients. That should help. Fruiting in a container is never going to work out quite as well as in the ground. For a container specimen to drop most of its fruit sets, is pretty normal. Glenn should produce in a container, as it tends to be on the smaller side, but Kent has a natural inclination to get REALLY big. That variety has a tendency to do a lot more growing than fruit production until they get large. For containers, I'd stick to Carrie, Malika, Nam Doc Mai, or my favorite, Pickering.

[@jacoboommen2355]

Has anyone tried hammering a large iron nail into the trunk of the tree? I have seen this done a few decades ago in my neighborhood and it has worked. Probably triggers some reaction in the tree and the lo and behold the flowers would appear in a few days. Would be interested to know if anyone has seen or done this.

[@Sheikyerbouti8]

I haven't tried it, but techniques like that work on a lot of different trees. You can also shock mango trees with smoke. I've used a baseball bat, or an axe handle on the trunk of a citrus tree if it has slowed production. It works better on old trees, but it does work. Don't do too much damage though.

Sorry I used urea it bloomed but no flowers can spray kno3 now will it work

[@normasanjose3338]

Your volume is too low we can hardly hear you.

[@Trinayraj]

Didn't you hear . He could get fined . Be on the down low .

[@ParthPatel-xq9nt]

It’s Potassium Nitrate

[@cr500ridr]

God bless you Randy . Thank you for sharing your knowledge and insight .I've got about a 4 or 5 year Mangoe tree since planted in the back yard so we've still got a while to wait to try this Our tree was a young sapling from when Miami holds those tree giveaways or plant a tree gatherings

[@ajisatria7397]

Kalium nitrate can induce bloom on plants.

[@suhasinisabrina1130]

Thank you, and God bless you!

[@abbasjabari5313]

Very good. I am Abbas. I am Iranian.

[@mikaelahernandez.6764]

eto po b yung gmot pbulaklak ng mangga?kNO3 para san foliar fertillizer?

[@brothersaisworkshop6461]

Potassium nitrate

[@brothersaisworkshop6461]

spray only on the leaves and not on the ground because it will just make the tree grow more leaves not blooms

[@rebyce1980]

Bawal na sa atin yan ngayun kasi ginagamit yan pagawa na dinamita, available ngayun ay Calcium Nitrate

[@michael61png]

Potassium Sulphate isn't better?

[@Sheikyerbouti8]

Potassium sulfate is sometimes used as a foliar spray to increase yield and fruit quality in mangoes. It is usually used after fruit set, during fruit development. It probably won't induce blooming though, since it contains no nitrogen. You could always try, but I would predict that it won't induce blooming. I learned this technique from a Philippine man, and it works so well that I never felt the need to experiment with other nutrients for inducing blooming, but I always encourage experimentation. Ammonium nitrate might work too, but I'd be very concerned about burning the tree with that much nitrogen. I'd be heartbroken if I severely damaged any of my trees.

[@thomaskostka2083]

Where I am from the Mango bear about every three months. I'm guessing that's very unusual. The trees are all wild and vary massive.

[@edletts2219]

I bought a couple trees from a garden shop that's supposed to bear fruit about 4 times a year, but so far they've come out with fruit maybe twice a year, but they've only been in the ground for about 5 years. Maybe it will take awhile for them to get their act together. Like you say, your trees are massive. That would be something to see in my yard, but I don't think I'll be around that long.

[@jamestropicals8262]

Very Helpful video😀

[@jamestropicals8262]

100 thumbs up 👍🏼

[@TheJastej]

the white granules is called urea or nitrogen (love from india)

[@Sheikyerbouti8]

Actually no. That's not what the chemical is.

[@raiderraids9051]

He is a mango tree expert

[@thaman1851]

what kind you mix with water, name.

[@carlosperesdacosta233]

Very low sound. Increasing audio of my speakers did not help

[@vivianautida4393]

I am from the southern part of the Philippines. We don't force our Mango trees to bloom and bear fruit. And we harvest 3 times a year.

hang on till the easter egg. thx bud

[@briantunks4842]

Hey Randy, you need the microphone closer to the noise coming out of your mouth.

[@Sheikyerbouti8]

Yeah, the sound on my camera sucks. I'm using a digital recorder now. I couldn't hear any sound from your videos at all.

[@sifthussain1749]

nice work but after gap video recording voice become low to away from camera thanks.pakistan.

[@datumidsuruban23]

try that one to my mangos

[@takuya7523]

Some mango species naturally bloom three times a year.

[@Sheikyerbouti8]

There is only one species of mango (Mangifera indica). I think you mean cultivars.

[@harryg.d9796]

I like this video. thanks... 😍

[@Sheikyerbouti8]

I'm glad you liked it. I hope it was helpful.

[@chimayoo5]

It worked

[@chimayoo5]

Calcium. Nitrate

[@jjime1175]

Forcing a tree to flower and fruit beyond its normal cycle will cause a early death and in later years it will slow down on fruiting, too much potassium in the soil will start claying the soil basically killing a healthy soil

[@Sheikyerbouti8]

I guess when I made this viideo, I should have warned people that is can harm the health of the plant, and that they should avoid getting it on the soil (Hint: I did)

[@ProAgriculture]

thank u sir...it worked

[@Sheikyerbouti8]

You're very welcome! Yes it does work.

[@Sheikyerbouti8]

When you force a mango to bloom using this method, it takes two to three weeks for panicles to begin to emerge. The tree in this video (Nam Doc Mai) normally blooms in late December here in Florida. Pickering blooms earlier. I've never seen one bloom in November here. That's before the dry season really kicks in here, which is what normally triggers blooming. You could force a mango to bloom in November using this method, though.
