  • Mangos in South Florida benefit from nutrients that are not naturally available in local soils. Of course there are many mango trees that look healthy and produce nice fruit without intervention, but providing additional nutrients can improve the health and productivity of your tree, and the quality of your fruit.
    First, there is an overview of the macronutrients and micronutrients important to mango trees. Then, Mr. Har Mahdeem, a tropical fruit tree expert, discusses the different types of conventional and organic fertilizers available for mango trees. Mango trees at different ages and stages have different fertilizer requirements. Finally, Chris talks about what fertilizers we use at Truly Tropical and how to properly apply fertilizer to your mango tree.
    Har Mahdeem has a consulting and tree care business in Palm Beach and Broward County. Among other things, he applies fertilizer to tropical fruit trees. To contact Har, call (561)-523-6599.

    Great video with lots of information. I admire your mango orchard. It looks like heaven on earth. I have watching many UA-camrs on how to grow mangos. experts says mango like acidic soil between 6-7 ph. I have a few questions. 1. would it change the ph of the soil when adding all all these nutrients? 2. Did you test your soil before adding nutrients and what was the ph? 3. During what time of the year did you applied these nutrients? Thank you for sharing.

    I have only one Kensington Pride mango ( I live in Perth, Australia) which I don't monitor that much but certainly I will apply some fertiliser more frequently. I sort of just let the mango do its thing. It is not really planted in an ideal location and I haven't had huge production, possibly because I have been very frugal with fertiliser. I prefer to use organic fertilisers. I probably need to make sure I give more phosphorus and potassium and perhaps some trace elements. Charlie Carp fish fertiliser, seasol a seaweed tonic fertiliser and rooster booster fertiliser and some potassium sulphate or banana skins will be my future inputs. Where I live the soil is just sand and needs building up with organic matter, which I have done. The mango tree seems fairly healthy very few black spots on the leaves, anthracnose, so I won't bother spraying with copper compounds. My mango tree is a Kensington Pride, and the mangoes produced are very good except for the fibre (stringiness) and I will watch one of your grafting videos again to see if I can successfully graft a valencia pride variety onto a limb.

    Hi Chris, I watch your youtube so often and I learn a lot from your. Now I have question for you: my mango has new leaves but they burned and white spot all over, my Lychee did the same, how your advice to fix the problem?. In my home land: Cambodia, they preserve green mango by putting in big jar by adding lime stone powder, water, and salt so they can keep for hold season because they like sour, they do to sap0dilla too by pick fruit before they ripe, keep in jar by adding water, lime stone powder, this way they can keep longer.

    Why even use nitrogen fertilizer, given that the biological processes at the root level are normally very adequate for available nitrogen to the mango, - mycorrhizae and so forth. Potassium is typically the most helpful addition, supposing the other elements are adequately present and available.

    • @TrulyTropical
      @TrulyTropical  6 років тому +1

      We don't have any experience with clay soils. Getting your soil tested would be a good step.
      For our sandy soil, we apply gypsum once or twice per year.

    • @bonsummers2657
      @bonsummers2657 5 років тому +1

      Gypsum use is typically a sodium-clay issue, but apparently maybe also a salts-buffer issue. But, it's fine to use Gypsum even besides that matter, though maybe not very useful, but not harmful. Soil elevation building and proper planting profile are the most important factors, along with watering and mulching, and having cover crops growing in the soil, which can also be various kinds of weeds, without being excessive, though there can be seasonal abundance and decline of the understory cover crop or weed growth.
