- How to Prune A Mango Tree Like a Pro: Easy Pruning Tips & Techniques from Dr. Richard Campbell, during the Mango Mania event held at the Fruit & Spice Park in Homestead, Florida. Dr. Campbell shares his experience so other mango growers can also see the same high intensity / mega yields that Dr. Campbell is able to produce in his own private family grove (Mango Men Homestead, LLC), when he isn’t traveling for his work with Ciruli Brothers.
We always have a great time filming Dr. Campbell & so far we notice that the UA-cam audience enjoys watching the footage, as well. He is no stranger to an audience - you may have seen him in 'The Fruit Hunters’ documentary and has also extended tons of his knowledge through very successful UA-cam tutorial videos on caring for tropical fruit trees during his time as a curator for Fairchild Tropical Botanical Garden (20 years there.)

Thanks for posting videos from Dr. Campbell. I recently planted my first 2 mango trees and I am trying to learn everything about the care of young trees. This has been helpful
Glad to help!
Wow, Epic mangoes master class. So many varieties of mangoes 🥭 love it..great technique. Thanks for sharing 🌲🌲🌴🌴☘
Thank you Sir for uploading such informative method of pruning mango tree. It's awesome. Stay blessed
Dr. R. Campbell is awesome! Great speaker!
ua-cam.com/video/xX0yWlGIyM0/v-deo.html.
dr you make me smile you are an insperation to perfective practicing you actually precise good
Another great video, quality of information is unsurpassed whenever you manage to get footage of a master of a craft demonstrating best practice technique in tip pruning of mangoes and explaining why it is done that way. There is no better way to learn than having the privilege of being shown in a practical demonstration a skill that is so crucial for successful mango fruit production. Answering questions from the public regarding feeding, in particular organic methods was particularly helpful. Once again thankyou Pete Kanaris and Dr. Richard Campbell.
Thanks Jonny!

Any vid on pruning is a plus for me thanks pete
Thank you very much for your teaching,I have lean a lot from this video.
My favorite channel on UA-cam. Thanks Pete. You deserve more subs.
ua-cam.com/video/xX0yWlGIyM0/v-deo.html.
Thank you Pete for always taking the time to share. I’m constantly learning from you and the people you follow. I’m so appreciative. We all are.
Thank you! Y'all are the best :)
ua-cam.com/video/xX0yWlGIyM0/v-deo.html.
Thanks so much for this video Pete! 🙏 It is hard to find folk who talk about mango trees around here! 🌱
Valuable info! 👍 Grow on bro 👊
Thanks guys! ❤️👊
ua-cam.com/video/xX0yWlGIyM0/v-deo.html.
Thank you for the video! Dr. Campbell is a joy to watch and listen. If you ever manage to get there when they plant a mango tree, it would be pretty useful to capture in video. Thanks
Thanks for sharing. If I saw this vid before I could have controlled the growth of my mango tree. Now it's a real big tree.
Hey Tony! You can still give the tree a serious cut back but this late in the season will affect next years fruit set.
Yeah Pete. . . hehe if only you could see the size of my mango tree. I have a video of that in my channel.
Thanks Pete. Great content and quality.
Got my first free wood chip delivery today! I'm not in a very good area so it took about 10 months of asking around... the equivalent of 8 trips I don't have to make to the county landfill, less work, no gas and better quality.
Baby steps, but I'm happy about it.
Have a good one.
Wait... end of June? Hope that means you're busy or relaxing... whichever suits ya.
Hey Allan! Nice, finding mulch can be a real struggle. Once you get it keep them happy! I haven't had a delivery for 8 months and all of a sudden they started showing again last week. Yes we are in town trying to keep dry, it's been a soggy summer.
Great info!
Such good information! You always have the best hook-ups!
Thanks! I'm a lucky guy 😬
ua-cam.com/video/xX0yWlGIyM0/v-deo.html.
Hahaha I made it into the shot just barely just after 3:00! Love the videos Pete!
hooooot!!
Interesting, my first step when pruning is to clean out the branches touching the soil or getting close to the soil (prevent mangos on the ground), then climb in the middle, get all the leaders shooting for the sky, crossovers, anything creating contention for light and air movement in the center. Then jump to the outside and tip prune. One question I would have asked, cleaning your tools between trees is a known practice, but what about cleaning while on a tree to prevent spread of bacterial and fungal problems? Love your channel Pete, your video quality is getting really good.
I freaking love mangoes💙🥭🥭🥭 Us Laotian love eating them when they're young, while they're green and before the seeds begin to develop. We usually dipped them in our homemade sauce, bomb!
ua-cam.com/video/xX0yWlGIyM0/v-deo.html.
Thanks great info re probing for more fruit😀
Cool
Thank you Doc
I am stealing your catchphrase, what's growing on. Like it. Good info, thanks
Amazing information! Tnx a lot ❤
Glad it was helpful!
Great video Thanks Pete!!!☺
Thank you! 🙂
ua-cam.com/video/xX0yWlGIyM0/v-deo.html.
Great video Pete
Thanks James!
Very good
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?
If i cut the top edges of the tree is enough in my case..
informative
😋 Delicious
Great vid, would love one on avocado :D
Excellent , very good.
Thanks 🙏
Did you have or can you create one with Richard back at his home ground t Fairchild/ A full documentary with loots of things like this at fairchild could beee a cult hit....for years to come...people down have a clue about David firchiuld's history and adventures and near death experiences traveling around the world for decades gathering ( at times pirating out0 germ plasm to plant in the US). how did Richard Fair after Dorian?
thank you
Another good one Pete! So bummed we missed the mango tasting in Punta Gorda a couple weeks ago!
Thanks Diane! You missed a great event. Next year it will be even better and at Matt's farm :)
That is fantastic... i like that idea.
ua-cam.com/video/xX0yWlGIyM0/v-deo.html.
Omg thanks for sharing. I have a mango tree for 10 years and only one mango. So I try this technique.
Omg wtf same here lmao my tree is 10 years old and has only ever produced 1 fruit for me 😭
sounds like its from seedling.
Your videos are so good..great resolution and color dynamics...Consider tutorials like this for the millions of gardeners and growers around the world....... tutorials could be a good point of sale for you eventually....getting this soil element down ....mycorryzal etc is so important for all of us..
Good call! Thank you
My tree 5 years old, huge like 3 floor building tall and very wide, I cut during the year because grow crazy wide, no room to walk. Fruit almost done, It was a lot and huge never see before huge Mango fruit and sweet, I love it. Now I am going to trim too again because branches reaching roof. Thank you for information. My tree in Florida by the way.
Oh nice! Pruning is key for ease of harvesting.
@@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL 9 inches long and 14 inches diameters fruit just take off and that one not a biggest one.
@@MegaEsky 14in in diameter! Wow!
Nice
Dr. Ricard, I currently have an over one year old mango tree in which the trunk is not growing at l but the twigs and leaves keep growing wider and taller. I need the trunk to grow taller. What should I do?? Thank you
yummy freshhhh
Great video man ;)
Thanks man! Mango season just begun 🥭
Pete Kanaris GreenDreamsFL very welcome . I just planted my fist mango tree here in the USA so excited to see the outcome of this tree
Hello Dr Campbell
Can I start pruning the bush if I still have fruit growing on one side of the bush.
I have to use anything any spray after pruning on the branch cut area????
what is the best month pruning the mangoe tree?
So you prune right after fruiting? How many times does your trees flower
Which time fit for pruning?Thanks for video.
VV COOOOOL
Excellent, very tasty, so sweet
Thank you for your video. If I did not pruning the Mango tree, how tall will it be?
This is great. I want to grow a mango in Pa.. i know...
Very nice video Pete Kanaris, very informative.
We have a question, we live in South Florida and we purchased a potted Keitt mango tree that was about 3 feet tall and it was left unattended in the pot for about 8 months and it grew real tall, approx.7 to 8 feet, it has no low branches whatsoever, only a single long stem and only few branches on the very top; because we have a small area assigned for this tree we wouldn’t want to have a tall large tree; how can I prune it to get lower branches and keep it small? May I do a drastic cut of the stem at 3 feet or so and still get it to branch out or am I going to destroy it?
Thank you in advance.
I have 4 year old mango plant which is 6 feet tall without branch. How can I prune it now. I was not aware of pruning.
Will it harm if I cut it in mid.
5:30 Is what you’re here for
This particular pruning is it recommended for any type of fruit tree to stimulate fruit production.
I don't think as often in neccesary for all fruit trees but we do recommend pruning all fruit trees. It's also a lot easier to shape a young tree then and old one. It makes harvesting easier too
I don't think so. The mangoes flower near the tips so he wants as many tips as possible. Some apples get blossoms on the tips but if you cut back the tip then shorten everything along the branch you can get a bloom all along the branch
@@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL you recommend pruning???
The permaculture class I was taking recommended to never prune a tree because once you prune it you need to keep pruning it. ( leads to extra work)
Is that untrue??
Also in permaculture, Harvest is not supposed to be easy because you're supposed to leave the top of the trees fruits for your nature tax or you're not working with nature.
You have a lot more hands-on experience then me. What's your opinion on that?
The Bearded Grower yes I do, especially with Mangos. A mango could become a 50 foot tree, for accessibility and management it makes sense. I’m a huge fan of syntropical farming and Ernst Gotsch. He says the key to his success is the pruning of the system.
Pete Kanaris GreenDreamsFL What can I do when a mango tree grows about 50ft? Is there anyway to make it small again?
Nice practical video! I didn't understand what you meant by flush or 'grown more than one flush'. I'm sorry, but I didn't understand the term. Also, can I use cow manure for mango trees? Why do you choose to lower nitrogen? Thank you Dr. Campbell and Pete!
Pete :")
Great job മോങ്കോ
Very good job Sir, I really admired and appreciate your valuable pruning, the word Moringa and Mango came from the Tamil language from Tamilnadu South India, Moringa in Tamil language is Murungai, Mango in Tamil language is Maanga, the British which ruled India took the names in English from Tamil language, Even Papaya word also it's original name in Tamil is Papali, there good varities of Mango in Tamil Nadu like Malgoa, Alfonso, kalapad, Charakutti they taste like Nectar so you can go for those varieties also. Thank you Sir.

Would you please help me with this champagne mango tree which I grew from seed. It is about 10 years old and I have had only 1012 fruit each year for the
past 5 years I have tried to add photo of tree with no luch. Many thin branches with curling springs off it.
can i use ALOVERA spray after prouning & flowering time on MANGO PLANTS ???
I have a five-year-old mango tree is it okay to water the tree on the top. I don't know what I am doing wrong. in The last 5 years I've only enjoyed 3 mangels
I'm guessing that maybe Irma's clipping out the top of my tree was a good thing, I'll be climbing the ladder tomorrow to investigate and prune, it's never fruited, don't know the variety. Very informative video...but I'll tie myself to the tree...lol...
It's a great idea to keep fruit trees pruned for harvest and storms. Haha both him and his son fell during videos 😂
ua-cam.com/video/xX0yWlGIyM0/v-deo.html.
Dr Campbell, the mango has a few fruits formed with the bulk of the branches which did not bloom. Can those branches be tipped while there are fruits growing on the other branches?
Not sure if he will see your comment, but yes you can!
Do you prune every time you get a flush?
So I have a Lancetilla Mango and the fruits are done around August I have 6 and 7 Lb Mangoes .. at 4:24 ( you want to prune as soon as the fruit comes off ) so is that the best time to prune just after the fruit fall off?
Hello! Typically you want to pick the fruits before they fall to eat them. Yes, after the tree is done fruiting for the season is the best time to prune.
What are the best mangoes and where can they be found I would like to have all of the best and sweetest mangoes in my soon to be farm
I just moved to Florida and our house came with a MASSIVE mango tree. I think we bought it at the end of the season and we didn't get many mangos from it. Maybe four or five fruits. Can I still prune it and get more mangos or is it too big? I could probably hang a tire swing from it if I wanted to.
You can always prune a Mango tree, they are vigorous growers. Just don't prune at this time of the year, because it could prevent flowers on those old growth branches.
I have one year old mango tree, it's about 2feet tall and one single stalk. Should I cut the top off? Thank you for sharing ❤️
Yes definitely want to top out that tree much lower
Dr. do you have chockanan variety?
Hi very good video. I haveMangoes tree in yard every year branch’s go back and flowers also like it is burnt flowers fall off I have tried insect spray still makes no bifference. What can I do
Could be Powdery Mildew. Copper Sulfate is used to prevent it
Hi Mango Doc we need help my mango trees and I am up here in St. Cloud Florida getting ready to move away Alachua and I am in need of help my tree the leaves seem to come up beautiful and then a couple of days a Filbert spots and looks shriveled up and like they were scorch by fire or torched or some thing I’m not quite sure what’s going on but I’ve been kind of glancing at your program every so often and I need help or should I say we need help
Did he leave all the mangos cut branches and leaves under the tree as mulch/fertilizer?
I don't think so in this setting at the park. You could chop and drop in more of a food forest setting, unless the tree was diseased then you would want to remove and burn and materials.
Can you explain that why we are pruning the mango trees?
I've got some mango trees that are getting huge. Can I drastically prune them back without hurting them after I get fruit this year?
Yes, but it could delay the next fruiting year
My mango tree grows funny... The branches droop down a lot. Is that normal? I'm trying to get it to grow more vertical. It grew to be 8ft tall, but once it started fruiting the branches would sag and the tree is 6ft tall and stays like that.
Any chance we get an updated video on mangoes w/Dr Campbell
Possibly!
I have 4 mango trees they are about 6 to 7 years old. It had only flower once and never fruit. Should I put some fertiliser? If I do want organic fertiliser in what composition ratio or even brand would you recommend that should I apply? Looking forward to your great advice Doc. Regards, Simon
We have an established mango tree in zone 10b. I fertilize quarterly, prune in the winter, and spray neem oil regularly during the flowering and growing season. Works for us!
Do you have a video of a mango bush?
They’re gonna start thinking your camera is cursed They keep falling 😂
Bro I'm having second thoughts about selling the cannon. Sony it's telling me it's the aftermarket lens causing problems. Idk but it's got me a little frustrated 😤
ua-cam.com/video/xX0yWlGIyM0/v-deo.html.
I am growing a 3 foot tree which I thought came from a mango seedling I got from the grocery store. But it has developed thorns along it's trunk; and the leaves, although they look like mango leaves, are only 2 to 3 inches. I've tried to look for information of mango tree variations and none of them has mentioned a thorned trunk description but I can't understand how it could not be a mango tree. When I planted the seedling, because of poor soil, I dug a 3 foot hole with a 2 foot diameter; took out the soil and half mixed it with potting soil. I put in 2 seeds: Indian mango and Honey mango, if I remember correctly. So am i growing a Mango tree or not? Does any mango tree variant have thorns in the trunk? Or should I just start over?
can't be possibly mango if there are thorns
Hahah. You’ve likely growing some random wild sown tree that happened to generminate in your bed
Hi my friend Pete,can you tell me what camera did you use?thanks
Hello! I was shooting with my Sony A6500. I had some focus issues on this trip not sure what is going on. Sony tells me it's because I'm using an aftermarket lens...
thanks for the answer.I am searching to buy a camera this is why i am asking.This camera it is not in my budget, have you any suggestions?
Great video, thank you. You are lucky, you seem to have no problem with the liquid from the branches. I have to wear a hazmat suit while pruning, it's worth it!
Isn't it funny you can climb hundreds of trees no problem, the moment there are people watching you take a dive 😂 I've been there! Glad the good doctor wasn't hurt though.
Lol I hear you! Both him and his son fell in my videos this trip 😂
I live in Renton Washington I do have
Mango going up from the pot in side my house. I wonder if I could ask zions from you. My mango still 4 inches tall yet.
ua-cam.com/video/xX0yWlGIyM0/v-deo.html.
I really enjoy your stories. Could you please tell me where to order a variety of best tasted mangos that Dr Campbell recommended. I could not find that with Spring Hill Farm. Thank you and wish all the best with your UA-cam!
You can buy them from Dr. Cambell and Mango season. I also have a few other spots like tropical acres on the East Coast.
ua-cam.com/video/xX0yWlGIyM0/v-deo.html.
How we can pruning a small plant of mango sir?
Karabao mango with anchovy dip is all one needs in life.
Whoa!
With hipon bagoong (salted shrimp paste)
.
I would’ve been nice to have a close-up or two
So I tipped pruned my ten yr old Nam Doc Mai mango like Dr Campbell suggests as soon as the fruit was off of it. This yr it barely fruited (whereas last yr and everty other year the last 5 yrs the fruiting was huge). Is this typical? I thought the tip pruning increased the bloom the next yr.
Time in which you pruned may have been late so then you may have removed the branches with flowering potential 🤷
@@fth1013yeah I wondered but it was beginning of july when fruit was finished. It literally grew another 2 feet from where I cut it the rest of the yr.
Awesome! Thx Pete ...
geesh, people , “I don’t do nitrogen “ “what about manure? “ “ I don’t do nitrogen “
“ what about chicken manure” “I don’t do nitrogen “ “what about horse manure?” I don’t do nitrogen “. GAWD !
Would love to hear about picking the best grafting material!
✌️❤️😁
Makes sense; to add extra nitrogen while the fruit is ripening, is to exacerbate the issue of anthracnose or other fruit-rotting diseases, if present. I personally have been putting deer bones under my mango trees to enrich the sand a little more.
Thanks Chris! Yeah the problem is there is so many different opinions about nitrogen and mangoes. I'm with Dr Cambell on this one, he is the expert with mangoes. Your comment was great! lol
Ashley - As a fertilizer, the N-P-K (Nitrogen-Phosphorus-Potassium) ratio of bone meal can vary greatly, depending on the source. From a low of 3-15-0 to as high as 2-22-0. ,[3] though some steamed bone meals have N-P-Ks of 1-13-0.[citation needed] Bone meal is also an excellent source of calcium, but does not provide enough nitrogen to be beneficial to plants.
Last year I feel like I made a mistake when I decided to put nitrogen on my Kent when it was developing flowers; All of the flowers and buds fell off, and it decided to just grow more branches, so at least this year we had more fruit-growing points. I do just raw, whole, sun-rested bones now in the rainy season because; I just don't trust that some fertilizers wont actually stay in the sugar-sand underneath it.
So there's Pruning for Growth and Shape and then there's Pruning for Fruiting?
How long does a pruned mango plant takes to bear fruit?
2-3 years
i have mango trees of 1and half years please teach me on how to prunn
I live in s. Africa, when must I prune my Mango tree
The other question, why is my Mango getting black spots and fall off wen they mature
Thnks
Norman…since no one has answered you I will give you my opinion. Pruning is best done right after the last fruit for the season has been harvested. Black spots on mangoes are oftentimes due to low Boron. Brexil Multi is a good micro granular fertilizer that can help this. Not sure of its availability in S. Africa. Boron content in the fertilizer should be around 0.5%. It also has iron, magnesium, manganese, and zinc. Hope this helps. Keep me posted. I’m invested now!😂
@@scottburgle4889, thanks for ur effort of answering, I Wil try n see if we have this fertilizer in s Africa, but a couple of years ago, my mangoes were spotless, beautiful n sweet.
Question: Is that tree already fruiting?
Should I trim my tree after mango harvest?
Yes.
5:28 lol
Does Dr. Campbell ever cone to people homes and help them with their mango trees?
No, but his sons will 😊
How I can get mango seeds from your farm?
Where was is mango tasting
No explanation on where to cut, just cut everywhere. Right?
I wished my trees would even flush that much, but that is interesting that he only uses worm casting.
