- Mangos are a beloved tropical fruit. Pollination is important to guarantee the highest fruit yield possible. In order to produce fruit your tree's flowers need to advance through the 4 phases I discuss in this video..

Moved into a house a few months ago and just noticed we’re getting mangos. My family loves mangos !!
oh you are gonna love the next few months!
As an arborist people often ask me questions that I don’t normally have any information about fruit trees are a specialty and now I know and abundant about avocados and with this video I’m learning about mangoes they don’t grow in my area either of them but it’s nice to have the information to share with people who have a question and I can share your video or just have a brief conversation with someone who wants to talk to a specialist like myself who is basically a hired saw 🙂
seems like every hobby seems simple from the outside but when you start talking to the insiders it just gets deeper and deeper. thanks for the comment!
tropical plant enthusiast here. thank you for your videos. they're entertaining and straight to the point. excited to get some mango fruit finally!
thank you for your comment
I was literally outside fertilizing my citrus and peaches when I thought..... hmm should I fertilize my mango, but it's flowering.....🤔🤨. Came in to look and refreshed my YT page and there was your video!!!!! Perfect timing or what for this video! 😁 Thank you for all your work and videos, I love them!
Doug, could it be the YT algorithm is reading your thoughts? Seriously though you must have the fruit growing bug big time when your break from working with your trees is to go inside and watch more vids about trees!
I really appreciate your positive words, thank you.
Awesome presentation, thank you. 😀
thx
Helpful! Ive got my first panicles taking off and needed to know what to expect next. Thank you!
glad to help
Thank You So Much! Please keep the educational videos coming 🙏👍 Regards from Philippines 🏝
thank you Robert.
Enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing Tom and Noe 🙏 😎 🏖 🏝
Yo Nancy!
Hello happy farmer! Our boys from Poland are also setting up avocado farms... , in Cambodia. 🤗 Cash was there too. There will be no competition, they plant a variety for markets. It's a good market. God bless.
they probably grow amazing over there
I will apply in my minifarm in the Philippines what I've learned from your video.I've never seen any mango and avocado tree here in Canada.
Hi Shysea, they will grow amazing over in Philippines...Canada, not so much 😝
I'm obsessed with my tree ❤
yes they really get ahold of us don't they?
I taught only me was obsessed wit my tree 😅
Wow I learned a lot from this video, I thank you very much for your knowledge and website information.
You're welcome Diane. thanks for the compliment.
Thanks I've sen those phases. I saw one fruit a year ago. Not sure if it dropped or a snail or squirrel ate it. Definitely getting lots of flowers. Trees about 5 - 6 years old. Over 12 feet tall. Hopefully next season, big yield.
good luck for next years.
Very informative! Thanks for sharing your insights.
My pleasure
Great info! Thank you for sharing!!
you are welcome Caroline
You are the man Tom. Another great video.
Thank you Lukasz!
Great video! Very informative. Thank you!

This was excellent, so informative, thank you!
You are welcome Ellen!
Outstanding video! Thanks.
thank you.
Thank you for cleared informayion.
you are welcome
Thank you so much for this video! A lot of good information 🙌🏽🙌🏽
you are welcome
I haven't forgotten! I'm hoping to have lots of mangos this year. I'll bring them in a few months for your fam!
I'll be waiting! how's them cycling jerseys?
@SleepyLizard Don't know, I don't have that lol... But the banana pup is doing phenomenal! 🤗💚
@@tropnes117 ooops. I confused you with someone else. I remember, you came and we dug out a banana pup! I'm glad it's doing well.
Thank you 🙏 your vlog is very informative 🌸
thank you
This was a very good good video
thank you, I was so happy because I recorded it in 4k but my phone uploaded it in 1080p and it came out a little blurry
@@SleepyLizard still a very informative video for people that dont have any trees to visualize this concept. do you have a video about soil?
Pirate of the Caribbean! He grows gold on trees. 🤣 All the best! 👍👍👍
thanks Ra!
Thanks you so much for sharing you are the best
💪
Thank you. Very informative.
thx
Very helpful as our first mango tree is budding. Thanks!
looks like it's going to be a very good year for mangos.
If it is small, your supposed to cut next to the last flower on stem. Where it will not produce and wait for it to grow more
Me: Oh, life is not worth living.
*Sleepy Lizard uploads a new video*.
Also me: Time to love mother nature.
😁
Great information Tom 👌✌️👍
thanks Heera
Another great video.
Thanks Backyard. I coulda used your latest vid in this vid!
@@SleepyLizard feel free to share it on your channel.
@@backyardmangoes4333 done! th-cam.com/video/3VzgjMa4Jac/w-d-xo.html
Great video 👍
Thank you mango Vista. I see you have an orange sherbet tree, have you tasted that variety yet?
You the man thank you for your knowledge 🌱💧🕵️
you are welcome
Thank you sir.... This information was vital🙏🙏🙏
you are welcome
@@SleepyLizard sure 🙂❤️🙏
Thank you so much for the information!!
Would you mind giving me some tips about how to water mango trees in the flowering stage, on a dry hot weather?
Mango trees in the ground do not require a lot of water once they are established but if it's hot and dry you maybe wanna give them an hour of watering every 10 days or 2 weeks. If in pots just check the soil and when it's dry water until damp.
@@SleepyLizard Great! Thank you so much for the information!!
Great video!!
thank you My Tropical!
I believe I have a mango tree in my back yard, having Trouble Identify if it is or a lychee tree. If it is a mango tree when is a good time to relocate as it is too close to our septic and we want to move as we want to keep it. Thanks. Great video!!!!
Hi, the best time to move the tree would be just before your rainy season or just at the beginning of your rainy season so it has a chance to water into its new home
Awsome video, sir
Really enjoyed it
I have grown my mango tree from seed .It has been litrtally 10 years now . The tree has grown super tall and has not bear any fruits uptill
The only mistake I did was pruning when it was very small.
Can you please guide what can I do
Thank you
Warm regards.
you should be ready to get fruit any season now. hit it with 5lbs of low nitrogen fertilizer.
@@SleepyLizard thank you so much
Btw I live in saudi arabia
Here we have summers
The temperature here ranges between
35 to 40 degrees
Yes sir I'm using fertilizer as well
hopefully posited results will show up
Great video! My mango tree is budding now🎉
isn't it awesome. Today was the first day I could smell mango flower in the air. so exciting.
Thank you, for this wonderful information. My mother has a mango tree,but this is the 1st year we see flowers. The information you shared has helped us as far as what to expect. I will fertilize, but could you please, recommend what you said to do next, the chemical for fungus?
Hi Lucky, Some people use sulfur, some use copper anti fungal, others use something called Manzate still others concoct their own solutions in their kitchen. From my observations most commercial growers lean pretty heavy toward copper.
@@SleepyLizard thank you,mom and I are so grateful for your help .
Very nice info!
thank you Steven. I appreciate your comment.
Thanks for the information. Oops I just cut some branches of my mango flowering tree 😅 I'm living off grid in Thailand 😂
fantastic!
Ty, great information. How big does the tree need to be to produce?
Nancy, I've seen them try to flower and fruit when they're only knee high but we try to discourage that because when they are that small we prefer the tree dedicate it's energy to growing limbs and roots rather than fruit. I usually wait until the tree is a little taller than me before I allow it to flower and fruit.
Great Stuff, thanks!
thank you.
Thank you.
What’s your best word to avoid fruitfly/larvae/worms infestation?
spray
First of all, thank you for this informative video! And I have a question regarding water stress. Can u please explain me about the effect of water stress on mango trees?
Prashanti, here in South Florida our natural rain cycle is enough to keep the mangos good. We water them when they are young but once established we let Mother Nature do the watering.
Okay! I got you.
If possible please make more videos on more fruit crops.
So cool Thanks!! 😍
you're welcome
Thank you
you are welcome
Thanks
Hey Charles, you're welcome!
Thank you very much for this. I planted a mango tree, it could be like 1.5 years old, im not too sure as it was a grafted tree thay i bought from the nursery, it's just under a metre tall and has started the 4 stage process, is it too soon for the tree or should I remove the growth as it has passed the pollination step as well.
at a meter tall most people would recommend you prune away the flowers so the tree can dedicate more energy to growing so that you get a bigger more productive tree more quickly. It's your call.
What spray/chemicals do you guys put to fight fungus and other stuff pn the tree's?
sulphur, manzate, and copper
Love❤ From INDIA
the land of mangos
Hey hey ring Randy Savage !! ahahah cheers my boy Tommy and love to the family
you like that new look? 💪
@@SleepyLizard oh yeah Tommy !! summer come soon and u need to be ready lol
@@RimmPurple yep!
@@SleepyLizard much love my boy
Ser, gdday to you, can I ask you, what insecticides, fungicide, and foliar, can you use your mangoes tree... Tnx
Alex, I've never had the need for pesticide but mangos are susceptible to anthracnose which can be prevented with Manzate during flowering and copper after fruit set. Also if you have a problem with mildew there are people who use sulfur.
I need some advice please and I am not sure how to contact you.
I live near the sea in a climate similar to yours. USDA zone 10
I am about 700 feet away in a straight line from the sea. (altitude 4 meters)
We have salinity in the air occasionally.
From your experience what tropical fruits/varieties can I grow in such location ? I am able to protect the young trees with windbreak fabric.
Any mango/avocado varieties you would recommend ? What other fruit please ? I already have figs, pomegranate, bananas.
Any advice welcome!
Jogrypto, thank you for reaching out. I don't know much about this subject except to say that I'm aware certain varieties of mango thrive closer to the sea coast and other struggle. but I'm so far inland it's not an issue for me and I don't know which is which.
So question is it smart then to place a beehive next to your mango trees?
Luis, I actually talked about that during recording but I chose to eliminate that part from the final vid. Yes, if you drove around down here you'd see stacks of hive boxes along the fields and groves. With mango the primary pollinator is flies so instead of a hive a lot of people will put a pile of something that rots like old meat or some fish which will attract flies who lay eggs and create more flies...I don't do that though 🤢
According to the University of Florida, mango panicles will on average produce less than 1 fruit per panicle. So you will typically harvest fewer mangos than panicles, even though some panicles wil hold more than one mango. The unhealthy or malformed mangos will naturally drop off. Some varieties are known to hold multiple fruits per panicle. Some varieties are known to produce mangos at different times of the season. In Florida depending in the variety most mangos flower in late winter/early spring, and the fruit are ready to harvest in early to late summer.
thank you for this excellent information. I got a vid out there on the channel where I count the fruit on each panicle variety by variety
Day by day, video by video, Uncle Tom is looking more and more, like a pirate.
arrr
Do mango trees work the same way as avocado trees in maximizing pollination, to have type A and B varieties in cross pollinating one another?just like having Haas avocado and Fuerte , do I have to have 2 trees for cross pollination?
no they don't share the synchronous dichogamy of avocados
@@SleepyLizard thanks 😊 🙏
I am interested in what you do to help your mango trees. Anthracnose is a disease that is very common in mangoes here for instance.
Hi Doug, How you doing? You can find my contact info in the "about" section of my TH-cam channel. Send me a text and we can set up a call. I've found this to be a very touchy subject for folks and the few times I've addressed this topic in my vids or comments my subscribers start fighting with each other. 🤣
I don't mind people yelling at me but I don't like to see my subs who I love so much going at each other's throats. 😝
great info !
thanks Frosty, also I was glad to hear your avocado tree is still flowering.
@@SleepyLizard it most likely won't produce fruit this year, at least my citrus will flower and fruit
@@frostylonewolf1700 I can't wait till you get fruit!
@@SleepyLizard i plan on making my own soil to save a ton of money
@@frostylonewolf1700 interesting. how are you going to go about it?
I am actually trying growing 2 mango tree but in switzerland lets hope it work
Jose, you can keep them as house plants and bring them indoors when it's cold but I don't think you'll be able to get fruit in such a cold environment.
I am from Nepal 🇳🇵 I planted a mango seed 8 years ago now it's getting blooming flower does I will get Sweet mango
Where did you plant the tree? I've never been to Nepal but I would assume it's too cold there for mangos.
But if after 8 years you're starting to get flowers it would appear you are very near to getting fruit. Your tree is starting to reach sexual maturity . If not this year you should see fruit in the coming years.
Holy shit, that's quite quick it flowering after 8 years!
But yeah, it should fruit since trees grown from seed generally flower when they're capable of making fruit. Although flowers may drop off for the first time it flowers but its possible.
@@Isaac-ho8gh Flowers turning into Fruit
Wow nice nice nice good
I love them flowers
Hi, what to use to take care of funguses, mildew? Thanks
Hi Sodara, People use sulfur, manzate, and copper
Do you think I can grow Mango trees in Zone 9a?
9a is too cold. I'm not sure but maybe if you come up with a way to protect them on cold nights you might get fruit but mangos are indicated for 9b and up...and even 9b can be challenging
Thanks
How do i know what kind of mango i have in my yard? The flowers look like the ones in this video
the best way is to look at the mango. did you get fruit this year?
@@SleepyLizard yes but they are still growing they look like the little mangos you were showing
How many mangos can you have growing on a panicle? I would imagine having more than say 3 mangos growing on a panicle might be too heavy for it?
usually one maybe two. some varieties cluster a bit more. but between now and harvest time most of mine will drop and leave only one or two per panicle which is normal.
how many years or what size must be the mango tree before il beguin to produce fruits?
I usually cut the fruits off in the early years till the tree hits like 8 feet
merci beaucoup@@SleepyLizard
My manilla mango tree flowered and its like every female flower on it grew a mango... so i figured that the tree will start knocking the fruits off and only keep what it can produce.. if it looks like its not.. im going to have to manually thin out the fruits by hand... branch cant handle the weight and or dont want it to desap the tree..
keep us posted on the tree
@@SleepyLizard It 4 years old.. but not very tall.. if i was in Hawaii.. it would be 3-4x the size.. i wish i could send you the pic of the flower stem with all that fruits on it.. its crazy.. like i was seeing Grapes on a vine... last year all fell off except for 1.. but so far none of the baby fruits are falling off... i do feed it miracle grow and fruit spikes.. but like i said.. if it dont thin itself off.. i will manually do it.. way way too many baby fruits on that stem.
What fertilizer should I use?

Thanks! Love the channel
why mango tree not pollinate? what can be done to improve it? Thank you
do you see flies buzzing around? if not I've heard some people will lay out fish carcasses to create maggots which turn into flies.
@@SleepyLizard rarely any flies. Thanks
What is the medicine of the mango flower not falling.
they do fall. most of them fall. it can't be stopped
So I’m growing a tiny mango tree and there are no other mango trees near that one, so I was wondering can a mango tree produce fruit that tastes good if it doesn’t get pollinated? Or does that fruit not get produced and the flower dies.
Hi Crested Cleo, mangos self pollinate so you're good.
Oh sick!
WHERE ARE YOU GROWING THESE?
Florida
No wonder your trees are sooo huge... im here in SoCal.. by the beach.. so hope my mangos will do OK... but get to fruit and eat some too... the Common mango wont do well and never fruit.. but the Manilla mango tree they said will do OK in Socal.. so thats what im trying...
good luck with the tree
How do you know when it’s time to harvest
every mango variety has it's time... Rosigold starts in April (or maybe even March some years) then we get carrie and Haden in May into June. followed by Kent and Valencia Pride in July, the Keitt and Palmer into august.
To be sure you pick one and take a little core sample. if the flesh is white it's still too early. if the flesh is yellow it's time to pick. you start with the biggest that are starting to flush color
if you wait till they ripen on the tree you're not going to get to them all before they start to rot and fall off.
@@SleepyLizard thank you for this info, rotting is what i would like to avoid :)
yeah it's terrible to see them go to waste
Do Mango Tree's tolarade Frost or cold ?????
Hi Susanne, they do not. they are very susceptible to temperatures below 40F
I guess I grew one I n a por an SD bring it inside ,ones it gets cold.Abt rips on Bayleave Trees
the garden of eden was 90% mango
what was the other 10%
@@SleepyLizard who cares
@@Victor-Soria good point. once you've tasted mango the rest really doesn't matter.

Opps i planted a super alphonso into the ground with small fruit on it. 😮😢
did they hold?
@@SleepyLizard they're still holding on.
They should b effective since I didn't disturb the roots , it's like the pot got bigger magically.
@SleepyLizard question , when is the best time to plant a mango tree into ground when the tree has flowers or small fruit. Like a 15gal tree.
Was curious about Panicle, so here it is:
panicle
noun
pan·i·cle ˈpan-i-kəl
: a branched flower cluster (as of a lilac or some grasses) in which each branch from the main stem has one or more flowers
thank you for doing that research
Tree know how many fruits can hold, tru tru absolutely tru but but...👍👍🙏
very true yes
