10 years ago I accidentally germinated a mango seed. The tree has been growing ever since. What makes this special to me? I live in Virginia. I take this tree inside every October and outside every April/May. It produced *tiny* mangoes this summer for the first time ever (but once they grew to the size of lima beans they all dropped off). Perhaps I'll get a dwarf variety some time.
You need a bigger pot and don't trim the plant. The bigger the root system, the larger a plant it can be. The more leaves it has the more fruit it can produce. Plants produce sugar in their leaves which in turn fuels production.
You all certainly have the green thumbs. You are great at growing everything. I protected a banana this year at my mothers. I made a checkenwire fence around, put Reflective insulation, hay in center, green house plastic over top, and a freeze cloth. I peeked in last week, i did see green. So the cold weather hasnt killed it. We are zone 8b border with zone 9. Dwarf cavendish type. I hope we make it rest winter. Good luck your growing. Take care.

I recently bought a grafted Langra mango from a Florida seller. It is still in the pot it came in. I need to re-pot it. In another video the person said to always keep Mango in very small pots otherwise it will get root rot. But you did pretty good with your tree in a big pot. I’m in Northern California. So I hope things go well with it. I also have seedlings of mango growing. Another Florida grower said he will sell some scions to me to graft on them once they are big enough. It’s fun growing these.
I purchased a Sindhri mango tree which is a popular Pakistani variety from a seller on Ebay located in Florida. I live in zone 9b in the Bay Area, and hour east of San Francisco.No fruits yet, but It's thriving in my back yard. Planning to add a Neelum and Alphonso to my collection.

I just got my first Mango tree, a Thai Mango variety, from Logees! I shop from them frequently, they are a great nursery, I have bought numerous plants from them.
Thank you very much for a very informative video. We are living in Bali, Indonesia and our climate is a little similar to California I guess without the luxury of clear seasons, and so we have basically "thrown" around 20 different types of fruit trees into our garden without giving too much thought on location or soil preparation. A part of me is a little sceptical about what we have purchased from the local nursery, but only time will tell if my scepticism is misplaced. Your video has inspired us to now take stock of the situation and try to do something better for the plants rather than just gambling on Mother Nature taking care of everything. We have just noticed our first open flower (yes 1) on our pomegranate tree which on initial inspection looked as if it had been glued on? Very much looking forward to going through and viewing the rest of your library.
You should come to north county San Diego! Also, take a drive around University Heights-it's like a "tropical paradise" with SO many tropical fruit trees everywhere you look!
Not always grafted tree,because nature is wonderful as it is,grafted plant may bear fruits earlier but the joy when seed grown plant bears fruit after many years is 10×more than that of a grafted tree,you should definitely try growing trees from seed
I will add peat moss to mine and my new baby one. I know what you said bout growing from seed but they are fun to grow and I hate wasting seeds. Wish me luck and ty for the information 👍👍
@@CaliforniaGardening I’m from inland empire so you know today aug 5th we having extreme heat 102° but still then my 4 different figs, cannabis, guava and stones fruits are doing amazing
You can grow mango from seeds, there are 2 types of mango seeds Mono-embryonic and Poly-embryonic. Poly-embryonic grows true to type (and you can get more than 2 seedlings from 1 seed) while Mono-embryonic doesn't.
if it was the wall then all the burnt leaves would be on the wall side. If anything the wall provides some shade. It's the intense sunshine and heat in CA that causes this. That and the lack of humidity.
Its because trees are more permanent, not like vegetables where soil can be added every season. Cant do it for trees since you have to add more at the bottom. Compost will eventually decompose and vanish
I picked a bumper crop of Manila's in Hayward in the SF bay area..a few dozen off a 12' tree 8 -9 years in the ground. I also am picking many small fruits off a young Ataulfo, about 5' tall with smaller fruits..smaller tree,smaller fruits is how they roll in the bay area. I grew the Ataulfo from seed 6 years now. The Manila's were full sized,sweet and since the wife likes then green also..we pick a few early for that. This summer here in the bay area was hot..July was a dud..but after that,nothing but heat relative to normal temperatures. Watch the rodents..they get a few. Opossums will get the low ones also. I had to put a fence around the tree.
Yes it means watering well and less number of times. I will explain it in a separate video in more detail. Please subscribe to get updates, if you haven't already

Mangoes will be sour tasting and hard when they are still green which some people like eating also. Sprinkle of little salt taste cool on mangoes too at green stage.
Hi will I repot the mango plant full of flowers 24 inches tall from Logees or wait till it will become fruits? It’s different kind than what you got from them.. pls reply..
Have you had problems with your outdoor tree in the ground, with the cold winter? Are you getting frost? Is the tree doing well with the low overnight temperatures?
A grafted plant is not grown from seed. Plants grown from seed take many more years to bear fruit and their quality is not same as the parent. Grafted trees produce fruits genetically exactly like the parent. And the fruit in 1-2 years/ I have explained this and much more here: th-cam.com/video/-w39llVWlc0/w-d-xo.html - Its for avocados but mangoes are the same. Hope that helps!

From where?
Its too close to the concrete wall, the heat reflects and burn the leaves.
if it was the wall then all the burnt leaves would be on the wall side. If anything the wall provides some shade. It's the intense sunshine and heat in CA that causes this. That and the lack of humidity.
I saw the people in Arizona they planted their mango tree very close to the concrete wall and those trees growing extremely well.
Wow! Great video! Thank you for sharing 😀
do you have tropical plants?
Looks great! Could you have left the mango plant in a container to grow or does it have to be planted in ground?
A dwarf one, yes absolutely. But I would move it to a larger container after a few years
My potted mango in Long Beach has brown leaves from the cool winter.
That's normal
I just transplanted my mango tree using your mix, but I can only find crushed granite as sand would that be alright? No sand at all at Lowe's
Yes that should be good!
@@CaliforniaGardening thank you
Wonderful! I’m excited to try this. I’m curious why the soil-less pitting mix with no compost is recommended while it’s in the container?

How green can you eat them
The green ones have a different taste. I usually wait till they have a yellowish tinge and then ripen them, they taste the best that way
Mangoes will be sour tasting and hard when they are still green which some people like eating also. Sprinkle of little salt taste cool on mangoes too at green stage.
