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.

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!

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.

I like your honesty

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

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.

Great information.....thanks for posting!

100% on the word on patience! Any recommendations on some good dwarf or semi dwarf for 9b

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

Excellent video appreciate the information 😁

Great vid! Interesting! So glad for the info. 👍

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

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!

nice mango tree plant

Thanks alex

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

good video

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

How about a (how to) grafting video from Alex.

I wish I could just go and buy a mango 🥭 🌳 tree from you 💕❤🌈

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.

Small trees should never fruit for a minimum of 3 years. In the wild a seedling won't start fruiting until its mature but when a tree is grafted it is an exact clone of the mother so the seedling root stock now supports a reproductivly mature canopy. The fruit gets taken off so the rootstock has a chance to catch up to the vigor of the canopy and doesn't become stunted. Basically the canopy wants to suck up more nutrients than the roots are able to and you need a good root system to have a healthy tree. If the tree fruits it stops growing not just the canopy but the roots as well. The best way to keep a tree small is by pruning it, not stressing it.

The amount of time in a pot also matters. In the past 10 yrs, two of our 19 types were very rootbound from not being up potted, and 1 eventually died. They were from VERY reputable sellers and yes, I root pruned them both as instructed.

This video is about potted plants make a similar video on planting without pots.

Subscribed....🙂

That is why I plant the seeds directly to the ground in the Philippines. Cheers.

Alex is a bad ass

So if you plant it in a suitably sized air pot which is bottomless to the ground below where it can extend it's roots beyond the rootball in the air pot wouldn't this allow for a healthy tree. You'd provide it with toplayering fertilizer & other nutrients water etc & deeproot watering & fertilizing by pipes extending from the surface down into the ground feeding the roots below.

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

would this grow in central area here in alabama? thank you

How much do you charge for 3 gallon mango trees and how much to ship to to Texas

How to buy mango saplings from Bangladesh?

Alex i need a mango tree around 25 feet to thirty i want it for the front of my house that is very round and clean looking that will give nice shade. I already have valencia pride , fruit punch,carrie, ma cha nook,irwin, orange sherbert , and my own cultivar patricia. I like citrus flavor and coconut want no fiber and a sweet fruit.are there any that you can suggest what would you put in your front yard.

Pruning the roots when root bound is crucial. I wonder if air pots work with mango trees...

yes jedi

Grafted one or budded one which is better to plant

Do you ship to Arizona and what's the address to order?

Andy Roddick is selling Mango trees now?

How much your one gallon mango trees

It's interesting. Seeds from mangoes that are dropped on the ground will sprout and grow into trees with no extra care. But three gallon trees have to be coddled for a couple of years before they are established enough to grow without any extra care.

Can anyone tell me if he said it was an Amman mango? I looked it up and couldn’t find anything about it, thanks

Can someone knows how much it cause for a professional to come and graft your tree at the house?

I live in zone 8b and my husband and I desperately want to grow an alphonso mango tree. My hubby is from India, it's his favorite fruit. Is there a dwarf variety of the alphonso mango? We plan on building a large greenhouse or orangerie. How tall of a structure would we need to house an alphonso mango?

Do you know the Cuban mango know there as Biscochuelo ?

Where can I buy a mango tree from him?

Can mangoes grow in Texas? I wonder

What was the name of the tree from India again?

What’s his favorite mango tree ?
