High Density Fruit Tree Growing Not Working. Taking Out Mango Trees
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 сер 2024
- I know it is possible to grow mango trees very close, also known as high-density growing. For me, it's not going to work so I am taking out some of my mango trees. In this video, I explain my reasoning and my plan and also show you how I remove my mango trees.
If you have a yard and you are growing fruit trees I'd love to come and film, especially if you are in the South Florida area. You can contact me at paul@rawlife.com please include the area you are in.

Maybe you can look at this situation differently. I think what you did was perfect. You planted them close for the younger years of the trees. Now your taking out ones you don’t need anymore, leaving ones you want. And your selling them, getting your original investment back. Now you have gotten “free” mangoes all the years those trees fruited. Nice man. Kind of did what Alex does at tropical acres without trying to or realizing
Just planted my Pickering and orange sherbet 10 feet away. We’re in 3 gallon containers. Will keep them pruned around 8 feet tall
that's close go 15 feet
So good to see that you realize early enough and that you act on it ! So many people don’t have the courage to remove their ( babies) but definitely you are on the Wright path !🎉
Those trees are still all small enough to just put in pots. If I were you I would have just repotted the ones you dug up, and then kept them all close together in one area. That way you could just heavily prune the large potted trees so they can be even closer together, even touching, and still keep them. Then if it ever became a problem of not getting around to pruning the potted trees, as a last resort give them away. But It would be a much better strategy I think to have a container plant section on your property. You have way too many mangos to eat anyway, so I think it would be better to have more variety of smaller trees than all huge in ground trees.
I fully agree with you but I already have some mango trees in pots that are smaller that I plan to grow and keep in the pots and I didn't want too many in the pots. I may take out a few more and. if I do i''m going to keep them in pots but the ones I took out were ready to go. Some I did want to keep like the Kathy and 0-15 but I decided to sell them
Thing is, Paul, you have a couple of yards so that is your reality from which you reason, your point of reference. But for someone with a small backyard I would say three small trees are better than one big one - for variety and extending harvest. Richard Campbell keeps his trees at 2 meters by 2 meters and according to him he harvests between 100 to 200 mangoes off of each.
If you have the space, go for it. Plant bananas or papayas inbetween and use the space until the mangoes fill it in.
Happy gardening. Keep up the good content. Enjoying your videos.
It's painful, but you do what you have to do. I'll be in a similar situation in a few years. Long term health of trees will be better, and you will have better production overall. Thanks Paul
Thanks for showing us the process Paul. I think the way to go is plant some annual plants or perennial leaf plays in between the mangos to maximize the space and let the mangos fill in ove time.
I hope my 3 grafted avocados works together asi saw your veidos
I never knew you work that hard gardening is not easy but that’s your passion your hobby great job I say the same to my husband first thing in the morning he is gardening great job Paul
That's painful. I have a 1/4 acre residential lot with about 23 trees. They are about 8 feet apart and the canopy touches each other now after 8 years of growth. So far, not a huge problem. I just prune the side that conflict and the tree sorta just grows up into the available space. I get plenty of fruit and it creates a very dense canopy, but I don't think it's a problem. The trick is to plant naturally small trees -- Fairchild, pickering, fruit punch, glen, coconut cream, Honey Kiss, Pina colada, lemon meringue, carrie, etc. If you try and put a Valencia Pride, Bailey's Marvel, Edward, etc into a space like this, you're asking for trouble. You gotta go with smaller trees.
I had a 75' x 100' lot, pretty standard. I planted trees in the backyard, front yard, and one side of the house. 20-25 trees was about the limit of what I could reasonably plant, meeting the requirements of the trees. The biggest tree I had was an Alano sapodilla, but it was right next to the street, and no, no one stole the fruit. I had to sell the house and move, and currently there are zero trees, but a beautiful pool area in the backyard! The house was less than a mile from the beach (no disease issues ever) and now worth about $700,000, so I can understand why the owners wanted the pool.
Shalom Paul. Lots of hard work
Looks like you're "growing" different varieties of vintage "banana" seat bikes 😂😅😊!LOL
You are doing it right,high density is a bad idea
Fairchild and Kathy were two of the tastiest mangos I tried this season and you removed them 🤦♂️ taste truly is subjective I suppose
What are you charging? I’m in orlando and would love to come get one.
how about making some trees left in place become hosts to new grafts of varieties that had to go? I plan to make the 3 mango trees i have all become graft cocktail trees. but thanks for the heads up on high density because I dont think whoever takes over when I am gone will take on the pruning work.
If those trees were pruned, 20ft spacing is a good idea. I prune 20-25% canopy, mango 🥭 trees thrive like that
I would think a heavy water might help before transplant, seeing as tree roots when exposed to air for long enough seem to callus over, leading me to believe that you could possibly even soak the root system while waiting to transplant after uprooting
So which varieties are you keeping?
I'll make another video but i only got rid of 7 and have all the rest
Hi, to do high density you need to plant fast growing trees to cut them down, 'chop and drop'
Really like your info. I live in north central Florida, near Sanford, and grow mangoes, Leechee and dragonfruit. I’m right in the edge as far as cold. Based on your videos I’d really like to try Orange sherbet and lemon zest but I don’t even know how to get some to try. When and where would be the closest place for me to drive to have the best chance of being able to get a couple to taste? And possibly buy trees or scions? My fear with having them shipped is cost and ripeness.
contact Orland Gardener in your area, He can help you or tell you were to go. That's his channel name
I still think 8-10ft is perfectly fine for a minimum distance. It only becomes a management problem when you have too many trees in the yard.
I have a couple acres of high density mangoes with 310 trees on a half acre, i have some videos
where are you located?
@@FruitfulTrees Hawaii
What varieties that you have were super aggressive growers?
edward, baleys marval, 0-15, kathy
My neighbors just cut down four 30ft oak trees. My fruit trees are pumping!
What number in the Im moving my plants again series is this? Leaving some odd choices given what you are going for.
That's my opinion. Keepers are going, aggressive trees remaining. If he lived in Southern Dade, he'd plan better. No easy digging there.
@@greatergood3706 And some of the choices are poor flowering types. Kinda wild since Alex is the one who has educated many of us on what is the best choice for many reasons.
I understand your concept but Paul how many mangoes do you eat per tree?
I'll take the Keitt
What are the top three dwarf varieties?
pickering, Ice cream but they are not true dwarf because they do get big it just takes a long time they are slow growers.
Thank you for these teachings Paul, it’s so, so helpful. When you say water 3x’s a day, how much? Also is it 3x a day for the first few months or ongoing?
the first few weeks. water well.
@@FruitfulTrees thanks so much
How about the Mangoman guy,his mange’s are grown close to each other and seems to be successful with it ,is it sustainable?
❤❤❤❤❤
I would take the nam doc my, please let me know if you would give me that one.
sold it already
Do you have any left? I would like to grab a mango tree
sold them all
How did you decide which ones you are willing to "rehome"? That would be the most difficult decision for me. Are you growing any "condo" mangoes in your yard?
Yes not an easy decision. Never like getting rid of trees. I decided by the space
Is it a good time to transplant mango tree? I have one planted last year in an area just get afternoon sunlight. Thinking about move it to another location.
the warmer rainy season would be the best time
@@FruitfulTrees but it's so hot, doesn't matter? I live in 9B.
I need one pls
all gone
How much are you selling your mango trees?
Already sold
You go to lots of people house, garden,you give advice people a lot. You learn from people but why your garden is not as clean as should be .
