Thanks for a great video. So, as I understand it, your decision is primarily based on the girth of the grafted trunk and the time since planted vice the height or the canopy size? Is this the same regardless of whether the plant is planted in the ground or in a container?
Same whether or not in ground or container.. tall height and big canopy with a thin trunk is not ideal for me… I would keep tipping off new growth while allowing for an increase in trunk size or just (pug )cut back down to a stump and restart the canopy
This was a great video. For those mango trees that you intend to not let fruit…would you allow the panicles to flower and bud so that the tree knows that it can produce fruit, or would you recommend snipping the panicles early on before they flower at those small width mango trees?
I know people growing all varieties of mango in Arizona… the drier weather results in clean fruit. Your issues are with the extreme sun and heat at certain times of the year and extreme cold in the winter.Your Arizona buddies use shade cloth to protect your trees from the sun and cover in the winter… just be be prepared to do those things
Some have reported on the Tropical Fruit forum that they had severely stunted their trees, some never recovering from allowing fruiting on small trees.
I have a Julie with stout trunk but is only 3½ × 3½. I'll remove fruit if any develops, so from this time forward, I have an opportunity for fruit every year. Have a Dwarf Hawaiian with the same scenario.
@@greatergood3706I did that too a Pickering… but after a couple of years of not letting it hold fruit and finally transferring back into a container I was able to get it too flush out and triple its size in one season. It is back in the ground and currently blooming.
Great video Orlando! Wish i can grow mangos! I love them
Try one in a container… look for a Pickering Variety
Great video, and great information!

I let it go through the whole process… snipping off the panicle when fruitlets are pea size

👍 I can’t wait to eat some delicious Mangoes 🥭
Me too
Sir why do you have the blackpipe by the trunk. Whats the purpose.
Sir, what variety of mango you think is best for Arizona weather ?

I thought the rule of thumb 👍 was 2" diameter trunk 6" about soil line with a 4 × 4 ft canopy

Thank you for posting your video! 🎉
A 1 in wide across the trunk tree will have a 2 1/2 to 3 inch circumference .. I visually look at the width..
