Thanks for all your videos. Great information.

Would love a video on what you know about pugging. I’m unsure what time of year to do it, at what age of the tree is best to do it, where on the tree do you pug back to, etc. Also would love any advice on how best to correct iron deficiency in mangos. Great info. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience. The tip on folier feeding makes sense.

You definitely know mangoes. Yours are beautiful especially for Phoenix. I'm in Tucson, all you said about them being protected in the canopy and dense and just the leaves and fruit getting the sun--this took me a couple of years to learn on my own, wish I would've seen this then. I just got a GLENN MANGO they say are hardy to 25F (-3c) and have a better chance in Tucson winters. I keep my mangoes in pots and give them distilled water since our water has so much salt & chlorine, after I started doing that they are looking so good and putting out more leaves. Probably could get away with just doing distilled water a couple weeks per month but for now i'm seeing an big improvement. Give them mango food as well since distilled doesn't have minerals. But this way they get just the right amount of minerals and not an overload from our horrible water.

There's a product called surround that they use in southern California for their trees for the intense heat. I never used it before but I'm going to try it this summer. I live in the Florida keys and it gets real hot in July and August near 100 degrees! Not as bad as Phoenix but they do strain especially when full uf fruit. Oh by the way it's supposedly organic! Good for the mangos!

Great information and thank you for sharing.

Thank you for this information. I love your garden. 💕🍃How cold does is get in winter in your area?

Thanks for the knowledge very grateful🙏🙏

Have you had any luck growing chayote or kiwano or that tiny cucumber that looks like a watermelon? I'm in the southern most tip of Nevada, at 2500ft, a bit cooler during the winter. But much dryer, with high winds, because we don't get the monsoon flow up here like you do down in the lower desert. Because they claim that these plants grow very long, thick and highly productive, I'd like to cover the heavy frame that surrounds my garden area with 4×6 hog wire and grow these three plants all around it to act as a natural sun/wind barrier. Any suggestions?

Live in Arizona and I have small yard maybe enough only for few trees. what percentage of shade cloth would recommend ??? what variety would you recommend ??? what do you wrap them with ???

Do you cover the trees in the winter? I noticed the framework overhead.

Excellent video

Mangos are delicious and you peel them and slice them . Especially in the Summer. Seamus oleary is a good channel on Arizona area tree and plant nursery

Great job!

What other trees like more compost %90 ?

I guess I got lucky bc I ordered 4 mangos online and they are nearly free of the black stem issue. Worth revisiting as I begin my mango trials.

Cheers buddy great video

Thank you so much for the comment about them looking like after the second year. Mine just finished their second year and they're finally back up to where they were when I bought them. About 6 in of New growth though you came by my yard about a year ago and have me change just watering schedules and paint my trunks. remember I had the 20 fruit trees in the back corner and a newly planted tropical area next to the house

Hi jay do you have any experience with kiwi berries?

seen couple of my neighbors have mango trees in ground. i just noticed my Indian neighbor right beside me has a mango tree growing still protects it with clear plastic in winter. i live in zone 9b/10a. so thinking i should give it another shot. killed a Manila mango from home depot & some mango called California Pride i got from Sand Diego. i planted straight in native clay soil so i'm guess that was a problem. this time i'm going to try growing them in plastic 45 gallon trash cans. half potting soil half sand, some pine bark, & some lava rock. just got an M4, Orange Sorbet, & O-15. thinking to use Kaolin clay as a foliar spray

What do you spray for that charcoal smudges on your tree branches. I got a couple of trees from Florida and they both have it one more than the other..

@Arizona Fruit Trees do you sell your grafted mango trees locally?

Do they sell Tommy Atkins mango varieties at home depot or Lowe's?

Crucial info here! My environment in far North California low inland is not quite desert like Phoenix but low temps are similar and we can get weeks straight over 110 F in summer. There are no known mangos this far North but I've done well SO FAR with young avocados and going to try a mango or two. At least PH and salt are not problems here.

It isnt problem with coconut cream but its root stock. Buy a manila mango in Home depot and graft coconut cream on it. It will out grow any mangos with standard root stock.

There are impressive mangos and avos in Phoenix AZ area and my climate is similar except less dry and maybe 5 deg. F. cooler on the the high end...we rarely hit 115 in summer, maybe few weeks in the teens and rarely high or mid 20's for a few days or weeks in winter, citrus thrive here. I'm sitting on fantastic endless loam soil.

Is there any difference if you are growing mangoes in containers? I don’t know if it is possible to grow them organically because there’s not enough area for worms and other microbes to support their growth in a container. The ph doesn’t seem to be a problem but I don’t know by just using organic methods that their is enough nutrition for them.

I am from India where Mango is relished like anything and grown in huge abundance. Grow these Indian Mango varieties which I am listing out. They will beat all other varieties very easily. Dussehri, Langda, Indian Chaunsa, Alphonso (Hapus) and Kesar are the best varieties to grow.

I think that you will make it.

Mangos prefer 7-7.5 Ph soil. Acidic soil destroys mango flavor since it cant uptake all nutrients that it needs (except when they are grafted on Hawaiian mango root stock) Native mango soil is 80% beach sand with 7.0 ph. PH isnt a problem for mangos but compacted clay soil is. Mangos are thriving in limestone soil of SoFL with ph over 8.0 which is as loose as sandy soil.

@ArizonaFruitTrees

We are so alkaline 9, 10, the acidic soil with the native alkaline soil and water get us real close to 7. Or me anyway

Another tip - dont buy mangos in local nursery - order them directly from a reputable grower in SoFL. SoFL growers turn over their mango stock in 12 months. That is why you can often find mango sales in FL at the end of mango season - not because mangos are in bad shape. Most of them time you can get a 7g tree with shipping for the same money that local guys will sell you a 3g for. They are getting them from SoFL too. For example - last year I got a 7g - 5' for 150$ with shipping to CA. Locally you cant even get 5g -3' for that money.

This old advice but it doesn't apply to SoCal. Florida use tupertine as rootstock and it doesn't do as well as Manila RS for SoCal. If you don't know how to graft, Florida-derived tree might be the only choice.
