Thank you so much. I have pruned them quite a bit to control their size. After the harvest later this summer, my plan is to prune them down about 30%-40%. This pair of Nam Doc Mai trees grow really thick and fast. I have a Brooks Late that I never prune because it grows so much slower.
@@punasurf4697very good to know. I have a 4 or 5 year old seedling tree planning on spraying it this coming season. Think it's a good idea? Should I drop the dosage? Or not do anything
@@hammerofluke2013 Being a seedling I'm not sure if it's old enough to fruit, but I don't think it would hurt if you tried. I have a few seedlings that are 2 years old that I may try to induce fruiting next year just to see if it can be done. If you try it I wouldn't half the dosage. The whole purpose is to stress the tree. Just don't apply in full sun. If it is growing strong I's say go for it. If it's weak or struggling I would hold off. Also, I am not familiar with your growing conditions. Here everything grows like crazy. I cut a large mango tree down to a tall stump and it is growing back strong. As soon as the rains quit I'm am going to induce flowing since it is not blooming at all. Maybe a couple of weeks from now. I will post a video of the whole process. Thanks and good luck.
@@punasurf4697 I live in 9b/10a in florida. My tree is about 4 or 5 feet tall almost and is growing rapidly. It's really starting to branch out now and by winter I think it'll be nearing 10 feet
Thank you for sharing with us. I will definitely will be trying your formula to stimulate flowering in my mango trees. I am in the Caribbean, what state in the USA are you located? best wishes...... Winston
I live on the eastern side of the Big Island of Hawaii. This is the wet side where it is more difficult to grow mangoes compared to the drier western side of the island. We are predicted to have a much wetter rainy season this year so if I have to force these to bloom again I will wait until the rainy season has ended. Good luck with your mangoes. By the way, make sure that you don't spray your trees in the direct afternoon sunlight. Wait until the sun is setting. Otherwise you may burn your trees.
I agree, but it was not blooming without help. Just today I uploaded a new video showing what is happening this year. Had to force it again, but it is working.
This video was from last year so I don't remember the exact date. I have videos that are from this year. I'll explain what happened this year, 2023. My trees had some blossoms back in Feb. and then quit blooming. I waited for a few months to see if they would start blooming more. They didn't. So in the last week of April I applied my first batch of potassium nitrate. Took about 120 days to harvest. I live in Hawaii. I just picked one of the last ones left on the tree. Great mangoes!
I bought mine at Garden Exchange in Hilo. 2 pounds for about $15 a couple of years ago. It's labeled "Potassium Nitrate 13.75 - 0 - 46 Soluble grade. " Used for two seasons now and still have at least half or more left. I do believe you can order on Amazon too.
That's why it is important to get a grafted tree or graft one yourself. These mangoes are super delicious. Thanks for watching. In a few days I am going to video making the solution. I have a few trees that I need to get blooming.
Besides the non flowering struggle, that is seriously one of the most gorgeously shaped mango trees I've ever seen

That tree sorely needs a pruning.
I did prune recently but it is already growing back thick as ever. Thanks for your comment.
🤙#Nice.
Mahalo!
Very beautiful from Indonesia🙏👍🇲🇨
Thank you so much.
First off you need high phosphorus and medium potassium to induce flowering plus boron and copper
I agree, but it was not blooming without help. Just today I uploaded a new video showing what is happening this year. Had to force it again, but it is working.
Where are you located? When (Month) did you start spraying the potassium nitrate?

my tree had same problem
I'm doing it again this year. We will see how it works. Fingers crossed. I love my mangoes.
What store did you go to get the potassium nitrate? Just ace or something like that? I live in Keaau.
I bought mine at Garden Exchange in Hilo. 2 pounds for about $15 a couple of years ago. It's labeled "Potassium Nitrate 13.75 - 0 - 46 Soluble grade. " Used for two seasons now and still have at least half or more left. I do believe you can order on Amazon too.
BTW, please check my videos from this season to follow along with the process. Worked out great.
imagine after 5 years if you dont like the taste

Need to trim your mango tree?
I have trimmed my Nam Doc Mai trees quite a bit. They just grow back even bushier. I've never trimmed my Brooks Late Mango. It grows much slower.
