Mangos are some of the strongest trees
One of the Best mango Pruning vids on this Platform. BONUS: It's in English !
…..” don’t be scared to take a lot off …! “ 🤣🤣🤣😂🤣 That’s me !
Same 😂😂😂
A follow up of this tree next year would be fantastic :) Thanks.
What a wonderful up close mango pruning video!!!
I love how you explained the process.
Thank you!!!
Excellent video on pruning a mango plant
Thank you! Very informative.
This video was helpful thank you
This is great I've got a small yard Thanx mate 👍🏽
Beautiful work

Thanks for watching!
Love your channel ! I wish my NDM was big enough to climb in!!!! This is an excellent video. You guys seem like such interesting people.
Thanks for watching! This tree was planted around 2014 or 2015.
Awesome!
Very good

P.S. I have a mango (about 7-1/2 or 8 years old) which was much bigger than the one in your video, but Hurricane Ian basically snapped it in several places, including the main trunk, and now it is a stump, BUT, within weeks, it impressively started to sprout out several tiny sprouts from the stump. It's going to survive! That said (and I'm so happy about that), the new growth will be very low to the ground, as it is coming out the sides of the stump. Hopefully, those will head vertical enough to create a few new main limbs. Anyway, lesson learned: from now on, I will keep this tree at about 6 to 8 feet, so it will be better able to survive future hurricanes (not to mention that it won't start getting perilously close to power lines).
Happy to hear it’s coming back. Mangos are surprisingly resilient. Hopefully your fruit will be easier to pick once it fruits again.
@@SulcataGrove Thanks and yes: lesson learned: I think I let the mango get way too big, and thus is was susceptible to Hurricane Ian's lashing winds, whipping it in all directions. The trunk was basically not wide enough to withstand snapping from that, given the weight of the canopy. So I will keep it to 6 to 8 feet, once it comes back. It's currently a stump, but a stump with quite a few impressive, tiny little sprouts coming out! Awesome!
I am happy to hear your mango survived hurricane Ian. I am in Florida in North Fort Myers and I lost a few large limbs from my mango. It’s nice to here they are so resilient.
@@MelindasLifeandstyle Oh my gosh, you guys really got hit. I hope you and your loved ones are all okay. It sounds like your mango will be okay, as what I've learned from all this is that yes, they (mango trees) are awesomely resilient. Nature is amazing.
@@PeppermintTwyst we are all ok. Had about 4 feet of water in house and lost all internal stuff but oddly enough all of the yard has come back in full color and doing excellent. I did lose a baby avocado that I had just planted but going to go to a local nursery and hopefully load up on several varieties of mango and avocado to grow😊🌴. Glad you are recovering and your tree also
Thank you for the video. I like how you grow that size of mango tree, not big, not low, and not tall. What is the distance apart of two mango tress, 10ft?
Ours are planted about 15ft apart.
You do chop and drop?
For that long branch, you said even it has fruits Will not touch ground. I am thinking to cut to half way. The branch will be stronger, because it's much shorter. Am i right?
Great video. Will heavy pruning slow down the fruit production next year ?
If done early in the year, it doesn’t seem to affect production much as new growth can be topped to encourage more branching. If the tree fruits and then us pruned heavy late in the season, there can be fewer fruits the following year.
Thanks for the video. I'm from Sydney. Just wondering when should I prune my tree?
We prune our trees after they are done fruiting, or when other mango trees in our area are done fruiting.
Nice explanation about pruning mango tree, which month is best to prune two year tree
We prune each year after our trees fruit - usually August. We shape them from March-July if they aren’t flowering/fruiting.
I want know after pruning when we should give drip irrigation water to mango plant
Best vdo thank you sir
Hi, can i start pruning from the from the first year of planting? i think it will help the tree to stay short and dwarf invariably .
I prune my mango trees from a very small size to get complex, low branching. Craig waits until the tree is 3’ tall before tipping/pruning.
Hi can you grow or propogate from the cuttings?
We have only propagated by grafting.
My trees are big show me on how l should print them.
July is rainy season here? Should we prun that time too or wait for fall?
We normally prune each tree once it’s done fruiting. We just finished pruning last week.
Hi, I just bought a 15 gal Carrie, it's ready to go in the ground. If I tip the top of the tree (on the main truck) will it never grow taller in that direction? How does that work?
It will still most likely grow branches upwards over time, but it will branch where you cut it if you cut just above leaves. It can branch lower if you cut below leave. I usually cut where I want branching to begin if it’s not well branched, but many 15g trees already are nicely branched.
my is a smaller mango tree at 5 years old (6 feet tall and slim) . Somehow very leggy, I hope to have more leaves instead of wood branches. Trimming leaves off is showing more legs. Maybe I didn't trim at the right time.
@@mingbihhsu1735 do not use any nitrogen fertilizer and cut back branches to where you want branching to start.
If you trim alot off the tree...will it give fruit the next season?? Also, what to do with the cuttings...to you get rid, or leave them at base of tree.
@@daver2964 it depends on how much is removed and the cultivar. It’s generally recommended to not remove more than 1/3 of the wood each year if you want fruits the following season. I move wood elsewhere to avoid the risk of ambrosia beetles.
Would it blooms and fruits next season after a moderate pruning?
Depends on Growth and hardening of growth.
Hi Craig, very informative.! Quick question, we have mango trees that are about 4 years old. Hasn't produced any fruits yet, also we have not pruned, thinning. Should the first pruning / thinning be done after the first harvest?
You can prune each year after mango season (even if your tree doesn’t produce). You can shape it from
April-August if it doesn’t flower. Is your tree grafted or a seedling?
@@SulcataGrove - all are grafted.
I have new mango tree, medium size, didn’t fruits yet. So I’m wondering when to prune it. I’m in Dubai, and last week it gave a lot new growth. It looks like a green monster :) Can I cut it now before hot humid summer or I need to wait till September when weather will go down?
I’m not familiar with growing in your area, but pruning should be fine now and tip again after mangos are typically finished fruiting in your area.
what o you do with all the clippings?
Craig burned some and I had a massive allergic reaction. Right now, they are sitting in piles rotting.
It’s August 8th in South Florida. Is it too late to do tipping and still have fruit next season?
This video was from July 2021. I am still tipping trees now. I still have fruit on a couple of trees
@@SulcataGrove how soon can you start tipping a new branch / shoot? Can you tip it while it’s still purple / red in color, it’s first flush?
@@michaellaura1231 I haven’t had issues tipping green branches at all. I’m done tipping for the year overall, but may tip a few lanky branches on a couple of trees this week. this week.
Thanks for sharing but pics are not clear. Can't easily see where u cut.
@4:34, why did you cut that branch, I do not understand?
It was growing too straight up and right in the middle. We like the middle open a little.
What about spaying fungicide after pruning. Is it necessary.
We do not use fungicide after pruning.
I wonder why not air layer those inward branches instead of just chop them off? Just curious 😊
Good question. I LOPPED one inner branch off.
I air layered the other last week.
It's about the same size tree as this one.
It gave DELICIOUS fruit last year.
It has baby fruit now. But I didn't want to wait to start the air layering.
I hope it works.
I have a mango tree I grew from seed. I put it inside during the winter. I haven't pruned it and it has grown to about 6' this summer. Can I still prune it and not kill it?
I prune mine when the weather is still warm - lows in the 70s still, but that is to hopefully get flowers come winter. If you keep the tree warm with plenty of sun, it should be fine to prune or tip it.
@@SulcataGrove Thanks. I will try and prune it today. The weather is starting to change here in Illinois.
My Trees Too Tall 20 ft tall, how to cut it shoulder ? Thank you
Trim it down to the size you want. It will regrow. You can take out half at a time to help shade the exposed trunk if not enough leaf cover is left, or trim the whole tree to the height you want and paint diluted white latex paint on the sun excised trunk/branches as sunscreen.
Hello
Can I tipped my mango trees even before bearing fruits???
Yes. You can tip them to promote better branching.
Best pruning 👍but after pruning what pesticide is better for spraying to avoid the deases 🙏🙏 India
We do not use any pesticides on our farm. We occasionally use oil spray for scale.
@@SulcataGrove how do you manage disease organically without pesticides? My tree is seriously diseased and I've been looking for organic ways to cure it. Thanks
@@davidquartey We live three miles from the bay and have nice breezes. We also space trees for good airflow. For scale, we use organic oil spray. We have used sulphur and copper occasionally as flowers emerge (if we remember to spray).
@@SulcataGrove Thanks. By oil spray do you mean neem oil spray? If so, what do you use it for?
For the copper and Sulphur, is there a way to spray an organic form of it? Thanks
@@davidquartey just horticultural oil - sometimes I use avocado oil. I don’t like neem.
How should I prune the tip of the branch when it has multi shots? Should I keep one or two only?
We like lots of branching and don’t remove any branches tips. Once each branches tip grows out enough, each is tipped to promote even further branching.
I am in North Gujarat India
Good
what variety of mango is that?
Nam Doc Mai
It might be easier to instruct any of us novices that you have a go-pro camera on your person so we can see what was happening and the why of your choices to trim. Thank you.
@@annetjones8080 thank you for the suggestion!
ఆ పరికరాన్ని స్పష్టంగా చూపిస్తే బాగుంటుంది. అది ఎలా తయారు చేశారో చెప్తే బాగుండేది
Camera Should allways closer when he cuts u are standing some where and focus
Feel for it..poor tree😢😢
It would have been better if you would have showed the tree before pruning with all the mangoes on it and then when the mangoes comes on the tree after pruning that will give the real picture of the tree before and after
Thanks
A pic of the mangoes means Nothing in the pruning scheme of things. Go back to your goat.
Where are you from
OK
Very bad camera coverage
Where are your easy to follow vids on this subject?
