    I always find myself watching African farming vidoes. Theyre plain and simple to watch. No rambling on about how good am I, like you get in American or British vids. Great work guys.

    I like mangoes I’m not from Ghana I’m not a farmer I don’t own a land But since YouTube recommended this video, I will prune my mango trees, if I become a mango farmer. Thank you YouTube

    I learned 3 things: 1) Pruning my mango tree is very important if I want nice mangos 2) Bigger isn't alway better 3) People in Ghana speak english

    Glad I found this. My mango tree is giant & dense. People say "DON'T PRUNE IT, THE TREE WON'T GIVE GOOD FRUIT." Unfortunately I didn't know what to do. Now I can see that I should prune it to make it healty, control its size, help with airflow & get quality fruit. Thank you for this video, I learned alot😃
  • An eye opener. Tho I prune my trees n remove dead fruit branches I now understand the importance of such practice. Am wiser n more knowledgeable watching this video. Respects n tnx frm Nigeria.

    I love the way he says "efficient". Great video, i recently planted 10 mango trees from seed and they are the right height for harvesting and i always used to see large mango tree fruit drop and rott to the ground because they are too high to harvest. I'm gnna prune my trees now, but i'll stick to organic methods for the pest and fungal control, thank u for uploading!
  • Mr. Komayire for the win! Goes to show that bigger is not always better👍💡 This video was very informative, clear, and analytical. Excellent! This world needs more videos of this caliber💯
  • In addition to learning about the best way to care for my mango tree in Florida, I thoroughly enjoyed the feel of this beautiful and well crafted video. Thank you.

    I just bought my first mango fruit from the supermarket. Then looked a video how to determine whether it's ripe enough and how to storage it, followed by a video about slicing a mango fruit, then a video about planting and growing a mango tree and now (as a mango professional) I'm watching a video about increasing the productivity and quality of a mango tree. ROFL
  • Thanks for this video. Very informative as a future reference. IN JAMAICA whenever a mango tree is worm infested We burn dried grass to create smoke under the tree and this helps to get rid of the flies and worms , of course this is mainly for domestic use .

    Absolutely fantastic & educational video. Thank you Mr Komayire for your invaluable insight. Tomorrow, the 1st thing I will do is re-evaluate the tree structure of my three mango trees in my backyard and apply the small intensive tree management system, except for the spraying. No chemical spray will touch any of my fruit trees.
  • Omg your video is so useful! We have problems with our mango tree because is too high and big and we have a really small backyard! I will start pruning it for good!

    This is far and away the most interesting and most useful video I have seen to date. I have a small home orchard that includes four mango trees. I am building this orchard using these techniques of high density planting and canopy management. Thank you so much for creating such an informative and helpful video.
  • One of the best videos on this subject. Thanks for the effort & time and publishing this.

    This is so true. I have several fruit trees in my garden, which I keep at a manageable height. Light and airflow are the key to keeping them disease free and healthy. The fruits are a lot easier to harvest that way and get much bigger too. Works great with my plum, peach and Apricots and even an apple, I treat that way with great results. Great video and very informative, even though I live in Europe. Love Africa!
  • Wonderful information, and willing to share it with the world. Hats off to you gentlemen. More production , better fruut, less chemical waste,way less chemical to begin with.....Thankyou!

    Great video. yeah quality control is the most important thing. This is a no-brainer. well pruned small trees of the absolute BEST cultivars pruned to minimize or exterminate anthracnose. NO systemic fungicides; all organic best tasting mangoes!
  • I noticed that in the fields with the pruned trees the ground is uncovered. I kindly recommend that you cover the ground, just like your unpruned tree area. The cover will protect the earth from drying out and many other things.. The leaves on the ground will decompose and nourish the soil.
