We just planted our first trees last year, 1 Glen Mango, 2 Hass Avocado and 1 Bacon Avocado (A & B varieties). Everything I know about growing them has come from your videos. So far we've had flowers on all of them this year. Now we're waiting to see if they bear fruit. We're also in Florida and would love to visit your farm someday.

[@SleepyLizard]

Congratulations on the trees! flowering season is so exciting. You can come visit any time you want although I recommend mango season!

Im planting my first mango tree from seed soon should be ready in 3 days!! Only thing where i live on gulf coast Alabama we have incredibly thick clay soil after you dig about 8 inches down. I will have to figure out to grow in a pot or risk growing it in the ground. I will start it off in a small pot first.

[@SleepyLizard]

yeah you need drainage.

[@Justwhy1235]

​@SleepyLizard is there a cheap easy way to make a bunch of sandy loam soil to fill a hole im about to dig for this mango tree?

Amazing video! Very helpful for many people, including (future) me! But the fungus on the leaves of my avocadoes still worries me. I recently transplanted an avocado tree 2-3 weeks ago. I got back from grandmas yesterday evening. And within 24 hours, it started browning its leaves out of nowhere. I checked the universal soil with my finger. This mix was bought recently, so it was fresh. But after I checked the soil, it was still extremely wet and had water coming out of it when I squeezed it. Why is it so hard to find a relativvely decent soil these days? The problem is definitely the soil. I sometimes dehydrate my avocados like I'm some sort of psychopath and still get root rot? This is totally outrageous. However, the other avocados, apart from my main one and the recently translanted one, are growing diligently.

You hit in the head! The advice online is out of control. Some people tell you to plant your trees close then, they comeback and said planting trees close to each other is not a great idea. But I love the drive a nail in the trunk and hit it with a baseball bat, that one is an original. Great Video! Keep them cominn, and take it easy on those Expert KZbinrs.

stick around long enough and you'll hear about the nail and the baseball bat 🤣

Hey there, I really enjoy watching your videos, they are very educational and inspired me to buy some mango trees. I currently have a Glenn mango tree, a “Young” Tebow mango tree , and a Phoenix Mango tree. All my tree are growing beautifully out here in the central valley of California. I have a question regarding one of my mango trees. The Glenn Mango tree is only growing vertically and hasn’t grown any branches, I would say it’s about 6 feet tall but hasn’t grown a single branch. Should I prune the top of the tree in hopes that it grows some branches or just let the tree keep growing? At the current moment the mango tree is potted in a large wine barrel so it is not planted in the ground yet. Any advice would greatly be appreciated.

[@SleepyLizard]

yes prune the top

[@miguelhernandez-hh4cg]

[@babetteisinthegarden6920]

My Little avocado trees that I started from seed 3 years ago.. Last year, one of them bloomed on the very top. Could you possibly do a close up of The flowers before they start to develop. So, I can tell the difference between flowers. and new leaves. Please.

[@SleepyLizard]

go to my channel and look for a vid I did about a year ago on the flowering behavior of avocados and you'll find a few close ups. Also there's a close up of flowers in the banner section of my channel home page.

[@АлександърДенев2]

I decided to see how my main avocado tree would respond if I let the soil dry out way more. I used to water it every 5-6 days, sometimes even 4. But I waited about 46 DAYS until the trunk started to become wrinkly. But this time, I also mixed in some granular fungicide. I know I know that taking back on the watering by 7-8 times sounds harsh, but it was still late winter. The pot got very light. Whenever I'd dig with my hand to check the moisture, a lot of the particles would fly into the air and this particle or dust-like soil would make me sneeze, that's how dry the soil was. Why I severly dehydrated my tree you may ask? Well, whenever the tree had root rot, after underwatering, the tree would recover. And I don't mind some drying up parts of my tree, as long as it's not excessive. I also applied a fungicide on two of my other avocado trees. This fungicide was very strong. Like, I applied so little amount into a whole liter and the entire liquid turned fizzy and white. I'm no scientist, but I think it usually means that it's poisonous when digested or can burn your skin when you touch it, unless you wash it. I have to be careful when mixing fertilizers or fungicides, or insecticides, etc with water when doing so, because it's not very safe.

[@j.t.kostadinov]

do you know if there are varieties that are hardier and would survive without protection in the winter - zone 9A?

[@SleepyLizard]

not for mango. people are trying but nobody has found one yet.

[@xopinkeytooxo]

I recently bought a house that already had like 6 mango trees. Now they’re producing fruit but I’m starting to think they might be different varieties but I was never told which ones are which. Is there anyway I can identify the differences? How can I know if they’re ripe without knowing which variety they are?

[@SleepyLizard]

send me pics of the fruit. my contact info is in the "about" section.

[@xopinkeytooxo]

Thank you so much for responding! I’ve been really busy so I’m just now seeing this. I’ll email you the photos now. My name is Megan and I’ll be using a different email to contact you (I made this yt account when I was like 9 years ago hence the weird username lol)

My 7-8 foot Glenn mango tree just dropped 95% of its mangos on the latest wind storm in FL 10a. I’m so sad. Anything else I can do other than watering to prevent this next year? Tie them up? Idk 😭😭😭😭

[@SleepyLizard]

I lost a lot to wind this year too. you might try planting some wind break trees around the edge of your property. it won't stop the wind but it slows it down.

[@gabriellewis8699]

My flowers dried up like some you showed should I pulled them off or prune or leave it alone? I’m a new gardener and it’s my first mango tree
