you have to make 2 cuts and remove up to 4 inches of bark all the way around a limb. I girdle big limbs on trees all of the time. It works perfectly. You only made single cuts.
do you tip prune? saw a video on how you keep tipping a mango to create more branching supposed to help promote more fruiting by bushing out the growth on your tree
When done in a specific way it's beneficial. When done wrong you can kill it. Some people make a series of slices on the bark of the trunk and branches.
To just make one single line of cut thru the cambium it’s not so harmful but rather a stress point that triggers a survival response from the tree/plant... but when done to intentionally kill the tree, you make 2 cuts around the tree/branch, and then remove all the cambium between the 2 cuts leaving no pathway for the sugars to get down to the roosts, and that can definitely kill the tree, or at least the portion of the tree north of the cuts
@@annewendt8434 sounds like notching, girdling is around the entire circumference cutting off all flow.. Unconventional Me is right, you just make a single cut that triggers a response

Now ya gotta tell how you did the girdle. Frustrating yr only one fruit looks like but it’s first yr with most of my trees and they were 3 gallons. Had a ton of bloom good fruit set but a lot of dropped fruit. 😢🤬💩
Maybe I'll make a video the next time I do it. That sucks when you come outside and see mangos on the ground ☹️. They will probably need an uppotting soon. Btw I'm still growing a rosigold for ya👍
My Tropical Obsession wonderful thanks. I got ya an 3 gal ice cream from Truly Tropical this past weekend. Has a nice canopy. Will be on your coast in July at Pine Castle Mango festival. Hope we can meet and exchange plants
David the Good grafted peach to the native Florida Chickasaw plum a few years back before he moved. Chickasaw is kind of wimpy as a rootstock but, still a cool concept. I also saw at HEART in Lake Wales, they grafted Figs on to a Ficus to combat nematodes. Brilliant i have to say
@@mclovin2232 my father-in-law had one at one point about 10 years ago. It did well and thrived for several years probably more like 6 years and then it went downhill. It produced a crazy amount of fruit so much it was hard to give them away.
No but there is a form of girdling that I have had success doing that does dwarf trees and it is referred to as a bark inversion. I did it to one of my trees and it works.
@@mangofever4681 this is a video of the tree that I did the experiment on. I did it back in 2014 about 2 years after I planted it. It didn't grow at all for the first 8 months to a year.ua-cam.com/video/-8_LbH1pgI0/v-deo.html
AWESOME DEMO; with vs without girdling!!! I’m convinced!!!! Charles 🌱👍
Thank you for the feedback 😊. Btw I sent you an email. Let me know if you got it🥭
@@ingarrajoey Got it! Thanks for the reminder-- just replied!! Charles :-)
Would you please guide me how to, where to girdle and what should be taken care of while girdling. Thanks.
can you do a video on how you girdle ? please
If you want to grow vigorous, productive, no disease problem, no grafting, great fruit,… mangos, grow Florigon, Saigon, and Dupuis Saigon seedlings.

Whatever I did seems to work
Nice tips
do you tip prune? saw a video on how you keep tipping a mango to create more branching supposed to help promote more fruiting by bushing out the growth on your tree
I do tip prune. Mangoes go crazy when you tip them
@@ingarrajoey i can't believe how fast my tree is pushing out leaves now that it's decided to start growing
I have a young mango tree maybe 3 years old. When can I start girdling?
I don't think it would be a bad idea to girdle your tree at 3 years just keep in mind that you should keep the cuts small.
I thought it was a bad thing when the tree gets girdled! I need to find more info on that!

My Tropical Obsession Sort of like ‘notching’ for more fruit it sounds like?

Hello! How many mango varieties have tou grafted onto a single tree?
The most I've attempted and been successful with is 5. Only because that's all the varieties I had access to.
Can we get a vedio on the procedure of girdling in mango

Why DVD is hanged?
I was experimenting with them to see if they help detur squirrels.

Why are CDs hanging from the tree?
I was experimenting with them trying to deter squirrels
Do you have any peach tree s
No peaches. I can't get them to do well because of the problems that Florida soils have with nemetodes.

Hello! Visit my channel and see my mango tree with 5 varieties already producing. Be welcome.
does girdling dwarf the tree?

@@ingarrajoey , Okay thanks, your comment lead me to bark inversion, very interesting subject.

If you girdle all the stem you'll end up killing the tree
