The Best Size Mango Tree To Purchase

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.

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.

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!

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!

this is great info! im thinking about starting a farm in polk county Florida

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

I like your honesty

Very informative. Totally agree. Most of my trees are 3g.

Great information.....thanks for posting!

Excellent video appreciate the information 😁

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. 👍

I really need advice on the potting soil mix with ratios needed for growing mango seedlings.

nice mango tree plant

Fact Alex does grafting on demand is awesome! Lets the average backyard grower try some normally unavailable varieties.

Top video, thanks a lot! Is that possible to send an order of these babies overseas?😊

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.
