I am in year 2 with my mango trees on Phoenix (9B) and they are doing great. It has taken me this much time to build soil. Once the soil is full of life, it is my sense that growing fruit trees becomes easier. I dont plan to allow my mangos to fruit until 5-years in the ground.

@TropicalCentralValley Жыл бұрын

I completely agree. Many folks do not understand the special relationship between the organisms and microorganisms in the soil and the trees. Without them, the majority of my tropicals would have likely succumbed to my environment.

Picked 2 Manila Mango Trees from Lowes this weekend. These mango videos have been really helpful!

That’s awesome. They’re one of the better tasting mango varieties. It helps too that they’re a bit more forgiving to grow when compared to other varieties.

I’m so glad you made another mango video,my favorite fruit. I have many varieties of mangoes and their doing great only my coconut cream mangos new leaves are a little sun burned but still doing good. You’re mangos look great and healthy. I just love my mangos and avocado trees and they are growing great in Clovis,ca.

I started to grow mangoes from seed this year. They are growing in shade from my tomatoes and look happy. I didn't know that they start fruiting in 3-4 years. I planned to graft them in a couple years. I am in zone 9B San Francisco Bay Area.

@TropicalCentralValley Жыл бұрын

That’s awesome. They do fruit fairly young. There has been reported cases of mango seedlings producing fruits in 18 months, under the right conditions.

Hello, what type of mango would you recommend that is very hardy and would grow well in the elk grove area. (Zone 9b central CA). If you could also give us some tips on where to find mango trees as well because they aren’t very easy to come by.

It’s got to be the Manila variety. Luckily, every once in a while, Lowe’s and Home Depot carry them. Here’s a video on the Manila mango: Manila Mango - One of the Easiest Mango Fruit Trees to Grow kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a5eToZZmrsWlmXk.html

Definitely. It’s generally 15°F hotter in the Central Valley cities when compared to the Los Angeles region. For example, it is forecasted to be 100°F on 8/15/2023 in LA, however, in Visalia, it’s forecasted to be 115°F.

Round type, the type found typically in deserts. They’re generally advertised as being “play sand”. I would advocate the angular type, the kind used in concrete construction or paving sand.

Without looking foliage, it’s hard to say. It may be deficient in some micronutrients. I doubt it is sun damage as this is winter season.

Hello, is the Altufo mango the same as Manila? I see alot of those I can buy and germinate.

@TropicalCentralValley 4 ай бұрын

Not quite. There’s a lot of conflicting information out there, but the Ataulfo mango is a combination of the Manila mango and another breed. From a taste perspective, I can’t tell the difference between the two, especially when super ripen.

@segapena5033 Жыл бұрын

I let my palmer mango go to fruit but then it dropped most and let one grow to about an inch and then dropped that one. It's starting to flush out new growth now. Both my palmer mango and little cado avocado are doing well with no damage from the heat so far. I think the ivy organics white wash helped. I've been trying to germinate and grow some ataulfo mango seeds but they end up rotting out and not sprouting when I put them in soil.

@TropicalCentralValley Жыл бұрын

That’s awesome. Concerning the Altaulfo mango, try keeping them grow to about a year before putting them in the ground.

@alaskanprideseafoods1766 Жыл бұрын

Do you have Mangoes that are fully shaded in winter? I have a couple spots in my yard that are potentially good for summer because of the shade requirement here in Phoenix, but in the winter until they're at least 4 or 5 ft tall they won't get any direct sun. I've been kind of nervous about putting anything in those places. Thanks for the great video, as always!

@TropicalCentralValley Жыл бұрын

Shade is a double edged sword, in that, they appreciate the sun protection in summer, but would prefer the sun when in winter. Additional, the shade from upper trees serve to protect them against the frost.

@argetni119 Жыл бұрын

what sand do you use?

@TropicalCentralValley Жыл бұрын

Aim for the “round” sand and not the type used in concrete, as those are more jagged. The round sand is typically advertised as being “play sand” or “all purpose sand”. Do not get the ones advertised as being “paving sand”.

Hello there, I've been watching your videos for a while now and I can say that it is so cool to see such variety of plants grown here in the Valley. I live here in French Camp and our climate is not that much different. For over a year, I've been attempting at growing mango from seeds with no luck. I must ask how much water do you tend to water the mangoes when growing from seed? I tend to water about half a bottle worth of water to the plant every month, but I came to realize that I might need to water them more frequently, but with less water. I'm using a substrate of Miracle-Gro tropical soil, with a mix of perlite in it as well.

@TropicalCentralValley 11 ай бұрын

Thanks. As you are just south of Stockton, your region actually receives slightly more rain than my climate, making your region more favorable to the growing of tropical fruit trees. Specific to your question, i water my trees every hour, ensuring the top few inches of the soil is moist (not wet) to the touch. If in growing in containers, you’ll want to water it even more frequently. I’m not familiar with the composition of Micracle-Gro’s soil, but I would recommend making your own.

@mcpedroid12 11 ай бұрын

⁠⁠⁠⁠@@TropicalCentralValleyThank you for the reply. The soil is made up of mostly peat moss, coir, and some lava rock. But I I have to mix perlite in it as it makes it less compact and drain more thoroughly. I’ll attempt to use wood shavings in a smaller container and see what it will result in. This late season introduced Keitts, so I hope their size won’t be too much of a problem planting.

@TropicalCentralValley 11 ай бұрын

I would advise against the use of wood shavings as a growing medium. Instead, I would use the wood shavings as mulch, as a dressing on top of your growing medium. For container grown tropical fruit trees, a good ratio would be 40% peat moss, 40% sand and 20% perlite.

I completely agree; it definitely helps too that the region has high humidity, otherwise when in direct 115°F dry sun, the new foliage burns to a crisp.
