They sell mangos, Mango trees, and Budwood.
Great information. I’m 72, but you make me think I might get a crop before I can no longer manage the trees and harvest fruit. It is certainly easier to plant 1 gal trees.
❤
Wow! Such an articulate man! I was determined to get a large tree, but he changed my mind.
Mine too
Alex great job, especially appreciate your honesty over profit mentality which is very rare to find these days. I felt sorry for you when the person doing the interview was asking the question about the first fruiting removal on a young mango tree. He kept asking the same question without listening to your answer. It’s what happens when a person asks a question, but doesn’t get the answer they want. So they keep asking the same question different types of ways trying to manipulate the answer to fit for themselves. It was almost unbearable to listen to, and the whole interview felt more like an interrogation rather than a conversation. Glad i found your farm, but definitely passing on the channel!
This follows along with Pete Kanaris' advice as well on size selection. Even though he runs a nursery and would probably like to sell you a bigger tree for more money, his advice was to select a smaller tree like a 3 gallon, unless growing an exceptionally slow growing tree like some varieties of jaboticaba, then maybe a 7 gallon is worth it
This is great! I literally just asked this question the other day...glad for a full video on it.😁
Another great video. Good job. And thanks for asking great questions.
Great information. Happy to know that they can ship to California.
I like your honesty
this is great info! im thinking about starting a farm in polk county Florida
Great information.....thanks for posting!
All my trees were bought in 15 and 25 gallons and was not aware that those trees before it gets to the ground should be root pruned!
Irrespective of being root pruned, we have put these trees on the ground with regular watering for months. Now these trees have been giving me hundreds of fruits.
My trees are now much over than 30 feet in height with beautiful canopies. It's been years I didn't pruned them and they produce tons of fruits.
Varieties are Nom Doc Mais, Valencia Prides and Carries.
Great vid! Interesting! So glad for the info. 👍
Excellent video appreciate the information 😁
Very informative. Totally agree. Most of my trees are 3g.
I’m glad you covered the topic of allowing a young mango tree to fruit. Most experts will advise to remove the fruits on a young tree. But Dr. Richard Campbell talks about getting your tree to stay controlled in vigor and get into a productive mode early in its life.
I love this notion but to us novice mango tree growers when is a tree big enough to start leaving fruit on?
I think the begins to tease the answer out a bit more. It’s not necessarily the age or the height but rather the thickness of the trunk and the complexity of the branching.
I’m gathering the trunk should be nearing 2 inches in diameter at base and there should be wood on tree not just green trunk and branches.
Thanks for sharing your video!
Next time Alex should do a tutorial on his bud grafting techniques. Gr8 video, Paul. I did catch up with Alex last trip to Florida.
I really need advice on the potting soil mix with ratios needed for growing mango seedlings.
I wish I could just go and buy a mango 🥭 🌳 tree from you 💕❤🌈
nice mango tree plant
Fact Alex does grafting on demand is awesome! Lets the average backyard grower try some normally unavailable varieties.
How about a (how to) grafting video from Alex.
Thanks alex
good video
Top video, thanks a lot! Is that possible to send an order of these babies overseas?😊
This video is about potted plants make a similar video on planting without pots.
Small trees should never fruit for a minimum of 3 years. In the wild a seedling won't start fruiting until its mature but when a tree is grafted it is an exact clone of the mother so the seedling root stock now supports a reproductivly mature canopy. The fruit gets taken off so the rootstock has a chance to catch up to the vigor of the canopy and doesn't become stunted. Basically the canopy wants to suck up more nutrients than the roots are able to and you need a good root system to have a healthy tree. If the tree fruits it stops growing not just the canopy but the roots as well. The best way to keep a tree small is by pruning it, not stressing it.
Whats your take on indoor mango trees grown in pots? Someone in Alaska who will never have a tree bigger than a 3-7 gallon. Why not let it fruit?
@@thehuntfortruth Hahaha I wasn't giving advice for the 1 person on the planet who's trying to grow a mango tree in the North Pole. Anything is possible, I assume you can grow a mango tree in hydroponics but its not advised.
How much do you charge for 3 gallon mango trees and how much to ship to to Texas
So if you plant it in a suitably sized air pot which is bottomless to the ground below where it can extend it's roots beyond the rootball in the air pot wouldn't this allow for a healthy tree. You'd provide it with toplayering fertilizer & other nutrients water etc & deeproot watering & fertilizing by pipes extending from the surface down into the ground feeding the roots below.
The amount of time in a pot also matters. In the past 10 yrs, two of our 19 types were very rootbound from not being up potted, and 1 eventually died. They were from VERY reputable sellers and yes, I root pruned them both as instructed.
would this grow in central area here in alabama? thank you
Alex i need a mango tree around 25 feet to thirty i want it for the front of my house that is very round and clean looking that will give nice shade. I already have valencia pride , fruit punch,carrie, ma cha nook,irwin, orange sherbert , and my own cultivar patricia. I like citrus flavor and coconut want no fiber and a sweet fruit.are there any that you can suggest what would you put in your front yard.

Do you ship to Arizona and what's the address to order?
Grafted one or budded one which is better to plant
Subscribed....🙂
Andy Roddick is selling Mango trees now?
Pruning the roots when root bound is crucial. I wonder if air pots work with mango trees...
👍 heard positive experiences
How much your one gallon mango trees
That is why I plant the seeds directly to the ground in the Philippines. Cheers.
Alex is a bad ass
Can someone knows how much it cause for a professional to come and graft your tree at the house?
I'm sure different people will charge different but it's easy to learn and do your self. There are many videos on line
Can anyone tell me if he said it was an Amman mango? I looked it up and couldn’t find anything about it, thanks

What was the name of the tree from India again?

I live in zone 8b and my husband and I desperately want to grow an alphonso mango tree. My hubby is from India, it's his favorite fruit. Is there a dwarf variety of the alphonso mango? We plan on building a large greenhouse or orangerie. How tall of a structure would we need to house an alphonso mango?
That would be a question for Alex at Tropical acres farms
5 metres carres
Do you know the Cuban mango know there as Biscochuelo ?
I don't but I'm sure alex does
How do I get in contact with Alex from Tropical Farms?
Where can I buy a mango tree from him?
at his site in the description
It's interesting. Seeds from mangoes that are dropped on the ground will sprout and grow into trees with no extra care. But three gallon trees have to be coddled for a couple of years before they are established enough to grow without any extra care.
Because seed grown plants are really hardy
And they grow a straight taproot which can grow really deep
So they don't need to be watered frequently
Can mangoes grow in Texas? I wonder
What’s the coldest it gets in your winter?
@@organicgrow4440 hard to say lower 30s for short periods of time I’m in San Antonio we see snow maybe every 10 15 years I think February is our coldest month sometimes in the higher 20s again for maybe 1-3 days many have avocados not being affected by our weather but I’m not sure I’ve seen mangoes it would be nice to know which mango is the hardest to try growing here with protection from the cold
Are you zone 9b or warmer?
@@ll3174 yes and no. Yes if you’re willing to throw a frost cloth on your tree in the winter
yes jedi
What’s his favorite mango tree ?
currently I think his favorite one is Sweet Tart but he has many favorites
