Thanks so much for these videos. They are Priceless. I definitely could have used this information 4 years ago and saved myself a whole lot of wasted time and vegetative growth.
When would it be appropriate to let the tree fruit? I am hopefully getting a carrie mango this year (Central Florida) and I want to get a nice sized one. My neighbor has 2 mango trees and both froze back pretty bad about 3 years ago when we had a freak cold winter with frost that lasted for a week. So many plants everywhere were plowed through basically. They bounced back and gave me hope for one in our front yard. Will definitely be protecting it from cold snaps though!
Hi Chris, I have crazy mango tree situation going on here at my house in the Tampa area. I need your advice on what to do with my little "Ice Cream" variety tree that currently has four golf ball sized mangoes on it. Okay, the back story! As you know, we had a strange weather this winter to early spring! My little tree flowered normally but then lost the flowers to the cold snap we had and then re-flowered again a week and a half later and the four mangoes on it now is the result from that flowering. A week or so ago, I noticed new buds forming on the old tips that dropped all the flower panicles and thought they might be new leaf buds but guess what? She is flowering again for the third time this year, which is totally crazy and weird. Should I let her keep the new flowers or just remove them so the older fruit have a chance to survive? Thank you!
Need some help with my Mango tree. I grew from the seed of a friends tree that produces very large fruit that is yellow to red when ripe and is sweet with almost no fiber. The tree is about 15 foot tall and produced about 12 mangos last year. The gritters got all but one, but it was delicious. This year the tree went into full blossom and I thought we would have a great harvest, but all of the blossoms dried out and fell. The tree has since bloomed again with maybe two flowers. I have purchased potassium nitrate to encourage the tree to bloom again, but am hesitant to use it. The tree has sentimental value to me and I don't mind passing on a crop to save the tree. I have other mangos as well as avocado's that have lots of fruit. But its been dry here in southeast Florida and some of our younger avocado's have lost 90% of their leaves with no flowers. So, why has this mango dropped its flowers while my other mangos have fruit? Does this large variety of mango need more water during the flowering stage? Can I spray the tree with potassium nitrate without hurting it? Would have never though I would be so upset over a mango tree, but I am. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
My Timatoyo needs some pinnacles removed. May I borrow Your clippers ? 😂. Thank You for the presented instructional video. I’m a novice mango tree grower
It depends on how old your mango trees in containers are. If they are younger and not as well established, then it's probably best to remove part of the panicle. A tree can allocate energy to vegetative growth and root development or to fruit production.
Hey I have question my mango tree I've grown from seed is small it was growing well but now the top accidentally broke off. Please help what can I do to repair right away
If you want to keep potted plants and not plant inground, after trimming flowers as you have done will mongoes form? I have a dwarf julie and nom doc ma in pots and both are flowing now.....I live in central Florida and so worried about cold.
It's possible, but not probable that a mango could form on the little bit the panicle that remains. If you choose to remove the entire panicle, then there is a chance that the tree could flower again and set fruit. Mango bloom is pretty susceptible to cold damage, so if it's possible, protect any bloom that you want to set fruit from colder temperatures.
No, you do not have to reshape a mango tree that is growing in a bush shape unless you want it to be shaped differently. In fact, there are some potential benefits to a mango tree growing in a shorter, bushy shape. Mango fruit will remain low and easy to reach, the tree could better tolerate high winds without breaking branches, and generally the nutrition from the tree will favor the central, vertical truck, so by not having a single vertical trunk, more nutrition will be sent to the horizontal branches.
Thanks for your info. I have three mangos tree in pots and they are growing from the seed, if I crafted with a different mango specie it should have the same kind of mango like the seed or not? please I`m new with this of crafting any tips should be a good help
The grafted mango variety will be different from the rootstock if the scion is from a different mango. If a branch grows from the rootstock, in time your tree will have two varieties of mango.
We're in South Florida, which is in the northern hemisphere. January is a very normal time of the year for us to have mango flowers. It takes anywhere from 100 to 150 days from flower to mature mango fruit, so these mango trees will start producing fruit in May to June for us.
Because of the weather its January and my mango trees all have flowers blooms.l get small sweet yellow mango l don't know the name. There 20 feet tall. last year didn't get mangos l plant 4 trees 10 years ago. They also got flowers in January. I live southwest Florida. I need help before the brids eat some of the lil mango.
Hello , what is the best part of Florida to have a tropical fruit garden. How far north in Florida can you grow citrus and all other tropical fruits. Thank you. : - ))
@@TrulyTropical so what's the strategy when you have mixed bloom and are looking to encourage vegetative growth in a young tree? I assume you would still prune and shorten the flower panicles, but I'm wondering if there's anything else we can do? I'm wondering if the mixed bloom branches aren't ideal for strong structure? I'll happily wait for another video If this question interests you.
I have manggo in my house and it is potted. The root has come out from the bottom of the pot. I would like to cut the root but I am afraid it will die if I cut it
Somebody says that if you leave young mango plants to produce fruits it will stunt them "forever". Do you think it is true? It's strange because I only heard of this for Mangoes, not any other fruit.
@@TrulyTropical Just allowed my very young Nam Doc Mai(probably 2-3 year old) to make two fruits, the curiosity was too much :D I'll graft to another tree if it doesn't recover,
@@TrulyTropical thanks! So I have this 5gallon Mano that’s flowing and a 30 gallon mango tree that’s flowering for the first time. Will the little one help the big one produce fruit? After harvest I can cut it back?
Young potted mango trees just don't have to energy to support a developing fruit. Our potted mango trees are destined to be planted in the ground eventually, so we want vegetative growth. Some people leave flowers on small trees like these and remove the pea-sized developing mangos. The bottom line is that small young mango trees really can't support the development of a large mango metabolically or physically (we've seen the weight of developing mangos pull down and break major branches on small trees.)
What a shame you are competing with the Regaaytone g h etto noise on the background. What a pest, and the authorities don't send police to fine these imported anti-socials
Just what I needed to know for my young mango trees. Excellent video. Thanks!
Thank You for the info.. never thought of partial removal of the panicles
Thank you. Exactly what I needed to know.
Thanks so much for these videos. They are Priceless. I definitely could have used this information 4 years ago and saved myself a whole lot of wasted time and vegetative growth.
Thanks for watching our videos and being such an active part of the community!
@@TrulyTropical my pleasure. You're a legend.

Nice video, very informative,, would you suggest leaving panicles is a person is doing container growing??

What if I want to keep my coconut cream mango tree small? Should I leave the blooms on, even if my tree is still in its 7-gallon pot?
Where I live we simply strip off the flowers instead of cutting it, this prevents it from reblooming.
Sounds like a good idea!
My grafted 4 yrs never flowers in the ground why maybe I add potassium nitrate
Hey I have question my mango tree I've grown from seed is small it was growing well but now the top accidentally broke off. Please help what can I do to repair right away
Does the same proonning apply in the cases of planted fruits on the ground?

Thank you for the great information.
How do I trim a young Mango tree that is growing in a bush shape. Must I trim the suckles and leave one main stem
No, you do not have to reshape a mango tree that is growing in a bush shape unless you want it to be shaped differently. In fact, there are some potential benefits to a mango tree growing in a shorter, bushy shape.

Any guidelines to make a cut back?
Do avocado trees regrow the flowers if you cut the avocado flower completely off? (or is this only the case for mango flowers).
What about avocado flowers on newly planted tree?
Is mango tree like water? Is fruit punch mango tree taste good ?
You can cook the flowers and make tea with the leaves
Nice information, January manggo flowering in Australia only or all over the world apart from northern hemisphere ?

Oh sorry I thought you are in Australia
Gotta love Chris's Aussie accent.... lol
Hi, what happens if we prune it than cut off 90% of blooms,,?
Mam, Can I have some sion /mango branches for grafting & help people to test better mango fruits. I'm from Bangladesh.
Because of the weather its January and my mango trees all have flowers blooms.l get small sweet yellow mango l don't know the name. There 20 feet tall. last year didn't get mangos l plant 4 trees 10 years ago. They also got flowers in January. I live southwest Florida. I need help before the brids eat some of the lil mango.
Hello , what is the best part of Florida to have a tropical fruit garden. How far north in Florida can you grow citrus and all other tropical fruits. Thank you. : - ))
I just discovered you are in Delray Beach , that is pretty far north , do you ever experience colder weather problems.
So in this context you can prune the branches that haven't flowered yet and the chances of those same branches flowering are unlikely? Good to know.
Correct. If you prune branches, it induces a new growth flush. Mango flowers only develop from older hardened off vegetative growth.
@@TrulyTropical thank you
@@TrulyTropical so what's the strategy when you have mixed bloom and are looking to encourage vegetative growth in a young tree?

Truly tropical, what part of the world is your grove/garden?
Can we cut the root if they are out of the pot?
Could you please clarify what you would like to do? Thanks!
I have manggo in my house and it is potted. The root has come out from the bottom of the pot. I would like to cut the root but I am afraid it will die if I cut it

It's strange because I only heard of this for Mangoes, not any other fruit.
We've haven't heard of this, but allowing young mango trees to produce fruit certainly stunts their growth for a few years at least!
@@TrulyTropical Just allowed my very young Nam Doc Mai(probably 2-3 year old) to make two fruits, the curiosity was too much :D
I'll graft to another tree if it doesn't recover,
Does having all those flowers mean the trees are healthy?
It's not really an indicator of health
@@TrulyTropical thanks! So I have this 5gallon Mano that’s flowing and a 30 gallon mango tree that’s flowering for the first time. Will the little one help the big one produce fruit? After harvest I can cut it back?
You should fight sleepylizard 😅🥊
We love all our neighbor growers down here in South Florida! 🙂
So why are you cutting off the flowers? I know you says it uses a lot of energy.
Young potted mango trees just don't have to energy to support a developing fruit. Our potted mango trees are destined to be planted in the ground eventually, so we want vegetative growth.
Some people leave flowers on small trees like these and remove the pea-sized developing mangos.

hello, do you sell mango trees?
Hello.Send plants to europe?
Sorry.... we don't ship plants anywhere
Do you have a nursery where we can purchase some fruit trees ?
Any secrets why your young potted manggo trees produce a lot of blooms ? What kind of fertilizer do you use ?
What a shame you are competing with the Regaaytone g h etto noise on the background. What a pest, and the authorities don't send police to fine these imported anti-socials
