- Do you have a mango variety that you don't like or a mango tree that's too big? Here's a video on how to change that tree into something that you'll love!
Part 1 shows you how to prepare the existing tree for grafting. Look for Part 2 in a few months.
For more information about our farm, check out our other videos and www.themangopl...
Very pro-active old lady.Praiseworthy indeed! I learned a lot from your valuable videos.Thank you so much.
Who are you calling OLD?! 😈
Great job Chris. You are a good tree climber and tree surgeon.
Another wonderful learning opportunity! I love mango , grew up climbing them and "stealing" from our own trees, as parents would rather have the mango ripen and I thought they were ripe for picking!!! Thank you.
Wow I love the innovation is so wow awesome
P 000holy mass today
you did a heck of a job with the little saw. Good job.
Strong lady... good 👍 well done
Just a word of caution. Be very aware when working near overhead power lines. A great effort and expense for a utility company is to ensure power lines do not make contact with trees. An electrical arc can occur from the utility line to the tree branch. I cringed when that top fell on those service lines in the video and she was on the tree. Stay safe.
Hi
Please show how the tree looks after new branches appears
Me too, love that saw!
Thanks for mango pruning videos. Show one ideal canopy and another which is not.
What a brave woman!
Top work video 👍👍
and of course you climb tree 🥳 strong woman
SO helpful
People This lady isDoing it just right she wants to cut this tree down to bass so she can graft a smaller variety onto it in case you didn’t listen and she’s cutting it with the fruit and that’s how you’re supposed to do it and if you want to know just google Fairchild Gardens they are the go to exports please don’t criticizeThings you know nothing about research first then come back
Good information! Thank you for showing this video .
Thank you for sharing us your experience
The video is very helpful
I would love it to see when you do the grafting on the this tree
How long do you let the tree recover before grafting
I love Mango
Me gustan los mangos mi fruta preferida
Best to do the major cutting with a chainsaw or polesaw and then fine cut with the hand saw. You will not expend so much energy trying to cut the tree back. Just a tip from a mango farmer with 1000 trees. You sounded a bit gassed after working one tree.
Not for one tree. Exercise opportunity.
@@ghangssikute3379 I was pointing out that she seemed tired after working that one tree. There are still plenty of exercise opportunities after the limbs are cut down. The green waste still has to be carried away and/or cut up for composting or burnimg or putting into the trash or chipping, cleanup of the area to inhibit pests and disease, and preparation for the introduction of the new cuttings and grafts.
Where I come from (the Tropics) we generally cut the tree down to about a foot off the ground, by doing so, we double the yield per stem . . but, be warned - this is when the "two legged snappers" are advantaged. They are only 6 inches tall (their cultural name is Snap-Arse Hoppers, they don't have hands, so, they snap at the fruit (tried bobbing for apples) anyways, because the fruit is so low to the ground, the pickers have to crouch down in order to pick, and hence the name. . . ha, ha, ha, LMAO!
wonderful
Wow! Your mango trees are higher than power lines. It is a morning exercise for you by cutting off the trees.
1) Why did you not use battery cutter?
2) You cut off many branches, how soon will they grow back for fruits?
Beautiful
Au final sa se taille comme la vigne, merci pour la vidéo !
v..good
If you graft a different variety on the top, will the remaining lower portion continue to produce fruit from the original tree?
2
yes
The Tree Disappeared.
I don’t get it🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
what saw is that? How do you keep it sharpened? Wow!
Love your super sharp saw.l use a machete
Can never go wrong with a Machete. Such a versatile tool can be used for so many things.
Nice pruning
Nice sae
Plot twist: there is no part 2
Like it.
I have one mango tree that never going big... Someone has too big to chop it off by reasons... Oh well... Anyway good pruning....
You cut all the mango tree's branches, how it is going to bear fruits ?
I'm guessing we will miss one year of production on this tree because of switching the variety
If you payed attention to the video you might not make an ignorant comment.
All pruning vidios are very nice
Thanks!
What month of the year is best to prune mango tree?
We try to prune our trees soon after we pick the last mango from each tree. Of course that never happens, but that's the ideal time. Try to prune it so it has time to recover before the cooler weather arrives.
After the crop u can cut the branches, that's the the best time.
Thanks for mango pruning videos.
What is the right time to prune a mango tree?
Right after the fruit is harvested
A younger Grandma Virginia . 👌😊❤️🎈🌹
Is it still possible to do top work on old mango trees? Somewhat 20plus year old mango tree
Absolutely! We've top worked 50+ year old mango trees with great success. Older mango trees have wonderful root systems that make for quick takes on grafts!
@@TrulyTropical Thank you for this. I've been going back and forth if I should do it as most Mango farmers here in our area suggests to totally cut off the old trees as it is too close to each other and is hovering on realively smaller trees. The old mango trees we have are way more than 10 ft tall and nearly 10-12 ft apart.
After the top work, how long does it take for the tree to be ready for fruiting?
The bearing period is not the right time either for pruning or grafting.
what is better month of mango graftinig ?
what do you do with the branches you cut off?
Mulch
great video. that top working a mango tree is that the same a pruning a mango tree
Step 1 looks a lot like pruning, but this instance is more drastic than the annual pruning of trees. I'll try to do a video on what my annual pruning looks like.
ok would love to see a video of you pruning a mango tree. if you have time. thank you very much
+Truly Tropical good tolearn
+Truly Tropical good tolearn
"Top working" usually means removing the main trunk and will graft a new variety into the trunk (this uses the current strong root structure & decreases the need to plant & 3-5 years developing another tree; or space saver, having multiple varities on one tree; or can re-invigorate an older, non-productive tree). Or curb the top growth so it doesn't grow into overhead utility lines (!) yowzers!
Garden plans change, as in life. And we are encouraged to adjust. Best wishes!
This lady is doing it just exactly right if you’re going to prune your tree you severely prone it back so you keep it low however she wants to cut it to base and Attach a smaller growing Briody to it to keep it from getting too large and according to Fairchild Gardens you cut the tree when the fruit is on it so you can harvest the food at the same time please don’t criticize things that you know nothing about or do your research first before posting see the link to Fairchild Gardens pruning of mangoes telling you to cut the tree when it’s fruiting
Hi I am having problems with my tree it,s still small but there are dry leaf,s on there .can you give me any advice please?I am from cape Town south Africa.
Does a mango tree have sap in the body of it? Or just when you cut the fruit from its branch?
What is the correct time/season for mango pruning.. I have 2 year old mango trees, which are not able to withstand properly because of their stems weight, some are breaking down at the bottom of the tree because the tree is leaning one side. So what should be done in my case. Any suggestion?
It sounds like this is the time to trim your tree. It should help a lot to make it shorter.
I have a concern here, trees are bended at a point, where from that point 85% of the tree is bent, so i should cut/trim the tree at that point, which will take another 1.5 years to grow the stems as much as we have now. So will that be suggested in this case or should i give some bamboo support to withstand from the wind breaking? I have few photos of the tree to show you, but i dont no how to reach you on this?
I'll be waiting,lol
I feel sorry for the mango tree 😞
John Paul Velasco 36
Yeah, it's sad. But as a gardener or orchardist, as you gain more knowledge and want different varities or another tree to gain more light in an area, we prune.
Some trees grow too aggressively, or we desire a shorter tree so residents don't need to climb a ladder to harvest fruit. Part of the 4 D's of pruning (Dead, Diseased, Damaged, and in this case, Design). Cheers!
where do you buy that saw from? I need one!
I think I got it from Lowe's.
HaibTshajHaib now that is what i wanted to know!!!👏
HaibTshajHaib you can also find them at bass pro shop
@@reneebrown5598 relevanat question: are there good BIFL pruning saws or is it best to get one for like 30 bucks n throw it away every few years?
@@ofon2000 if you get a good one they can last many many years. I would rather buy quality than quantity
what's the brand name of that awesome saw and where did you purchase it? Looks saw efficient and sharp. Thanks
I use a similar Corona folding pocket saw. Double edge, fast & sharp. Highly recommend.
What is yield reduction in this process? How much time it takes to bounce back? 🙏
sometimes new grafts can fruit in about a year
You can get a lot of mangos in about 3 years
@@TrulyTropical I need to purchase that saw. I know it's a Corona, but can I get the saw size and model number please? Ty!!!!
Hi mujhevito batavo kaise kalam lagate ho
Did this poor tree survived? Looks like butchered than pruned! Like to see pics after a year.
The tree looks beautiful today! It had fruit last mango season and we did a quick update: czcams.com/video/Vq8U1t_1CYY/video.html
Having the same variety tree it breaks my heart to see this. I trimmed my tree once and it went into shock and I lost the next year's yeld of mangos
Que bueno!
Please suggest to me that in witch month mangoes top work has to be done please give correct way
We avoid grafting before hurricanes. Also it's best to avoid grafting in cool weather, and before or during mango bloom.
Hi! Do you have grafted mango tree for sale?
What mature should be given after pruning?
i believe that is so exessive pruning..nothing almost has left in the branch
This isn't pruning... it's cutting back for top working, which is much more drastic than pruning. We will do a follow-up video next year to show how it turns out
Could the branches cut off still able to grow or propagate?
We don't use the woody parts, but we graft using some of the green shoots.
Not you can't propagate branches
I would've done air layering instead of cutting it like that
We don't air layer mango trees at the farm. Most people in Florida avoid air layering mango trees because Florida trees need a deep taproot to survive hurricanes. Grafting onto established rootstock insures that the tree already has a nice root system.
@@TrulyTropical makes sense
Truly Tropical hi thank you for posting this video. As a follow up question to this comment, why do air layered roots not develop a deep tap root?
@@cjtiles tap roots are a result of the primary root tip (radicle) of a seed when it germinates. Air layers result in diffuse lateral roots rather than a true tap root
Sir I can graft mango pre winter season. What is right or no. If is then gave me right suggestion . Weat for you your recommendation. You have nice day.
If temperatures are mild, grafting can work any time of year. Some people graft only when temperatures are above 70 degrees Fahrenheit, but I graft when temperatures are cooler. In cooler temperatures top working on established trees seems to be more successful than grafting onto small potted plants.
What kind of saw?
Never cut a tree when it is either flowering or has fruits on it.
@जय भीम जी yes janta hoon, but not very experienced in that field..
sumeet parui Fairchild gardens say cut when fruit and collect fruit so I will follow them they brought mango here after all she is doing it just right because she is going to graft a smaller variety onto this base so please don’t criticize what you don’t know about!
@@lmstastny4679 You have no idea what you are talking about :)
Generally. But there are always the exceptions and "depends." If I know I need to thin anyway, I'll cut a limb & collect the fruit. Or if hurricane winds break or ice limbs, I go & make a clean cut.
However, I try & plan ahead & remove 25-30% of a tree per 3 months, to minimize shock. Sometimes, though, this cannot happen (wind breakage, weak leaders/trunk...).
@@augustine76 I cut and prune branches during flowering and fruiting all the time. Gotta keep at the big trees 🌳 to calm them down.
Can u do something like this for a month old mango seedlings?
You can bud very young seedlings, but we use older seedlings for the grafting techniques that we use.
Naqualix _ no
What type of saw is that
My god those are nice branches why didn't you clone or rooted them on the tree before you chopped up that tree.
she likes her mangos, leave her alone...lol
Ladder…….and chain saw.
🥭 mango
What do you call that cutter that you used?
Why would you put a tree that close to another tree.
Branches falling on live electric wires may cause deadly shocks ....
U chopped the tree to pieces...
i am from kenya mango land and this is murder!
If you pay attention to the video it might stop your ignorant comment. 🙄
should have "worked" this tree before , when its growing !
It's impossible to do everything at the ideal time, but the size of this base tree creates different opportunities than a smaller tree.
@@TrulyTropical hey when to prone
Can you sell me scion from that tree. I like the huge fruits.
wat its the purpose the cut
sorry... I'm not sure what you mean
Purpose of the cut is that new "suckers", will come up where she cut the tree, and she will graft different variety onto the tree. although this looks like she is pruning, Chris is actually preparing the tree to "top work" it, which means changing the variety, or adding more varieties to the same tree. for example, you could add two more varieties to the same tree, and it will give you three types of fruit.
Thanks for your answer... I just didn't get the question when I first saw it
Plz tell us sutibale time in pakistan for cuting mango tree and also for grafting time. Thanks
Omg....a lot of cut branches..until 0r almost no left at a good build manggoe tree?plant a tree not to cut...madam.

Bloody
There are many fruit trees varity in the tropical climate like that manggo the only things that I don't like in the tropical region the temperature condition is extreme hot especially during noontime or afternoon.
You guys have the perfect weather in florida to keep a well mantained tree pruned what a shame this was horrible to watch
We weren't pruning the tree. The goal was to get the tree ready to top work another variety onto it.
Hey is to late to prune mango trees
Ideally you prune right after you pick the last fruit from the tree. You might risk next year's crop if you prune now.
We just did major trimming on some of the large mango trees, but that trimming will affect fruit production for years. If you want fruit this coming summer, I would wait until after you pick the next crop before you prune.

How many ignorant comments were made after not paying attention to the video?
That’s a hack job. 🤭
OMG U killed the poor tree!...
She's board
this is one of the worst pruning jobs i have seen. wow. that tree must have had lots of years of neglect. i hope thats not her tree.
Not really pruning, she is prepping the tree, to change the variety, she will graft new scions on the suckers that come up.
im starting to think you dont like mangos!
Over pruning.....that is just too much...!
We pruned the tree back significantly in order to top work it to another variety.
Are you mad?
You ruined it..
