Hi 🙏 as usual a very video, very nice detailed explanations, a respect for nature without pesticides (100% organic) and that I approve at 300% 👍😉, because nature knows how to defend itself, if we do not not suppress what it develops for it to defend itself and also the more it is manipulated by humans, the more it weakens it and therefore more diseases. This is what I see in my vegetable garden by practicing the natural re-sowing of seeds for several years, by limiting tall grass, etc. 🙏🙏🙏

We also love Indian mango we have about 15.

Feed the soil, and the soil will feed the tree, beneficial bacteria and fungi, help defend the tree. also having an abundance of plants around, confuse bugs, and usually attract beneficial insects. many diseases mangos get are spread by bugs, bugs make wounds on the leaves, where disease can enter. so having beneficial bugs, helps control those "bad bugs". my soil is very poor in my area, basically consist of white beach sand. so I do foliar sprays with seaweed with humic acid, and yucca as a sticker. , and only add potassium, to the soil. no insecticides, needed, the spiders do that job.

Great

These are the principles we use on our farm on Pine Island

I love your videos bro I'm a new subscriber I grew up in Miami with mangoes and all kind of fruit trees. And like yourself I have 1/2 acre in port saint lucie and addicted to fruit trees I have more fruit trees that I can count and about a dozen mango trees. Like yourself I started planting close together back in 2008 now in 2022 a lot of my trees and had to be removed to make room you can try to keep mango tree small but eventually it becomes impossible. I also worked on my soil Health before planting a tree my property is 2 ft higher than it used to be mainly comprised of mulch and you are 100% correct soil health is the most important I Don't Spray anything I don't even mess with the bugs I let the bugs take care of the bugs.

Which fertilizer do you recommend for potted mango plants. How often to fertilize and water them. They just sprouted from seed.

@growpuravida

3 жыл бұрын

Inoculation rather than fertilization. Zill nursery just mixes sulfur with sawdust which kills all pathogens but at the same time all life in soil. I understand that’s needed for a huge commercial operation to avoid nematodes, possible root rot etc but on a home scale our purpose is to activate the roots and create a healthy supportive network. For the seedlings, you first need to pay attention to root development and growth so nitrogen is not bad. You can plant a couple of peas or beans in the same pot. Compost is not bad either if it’s well draining and not heavy and put on top of soil instead of mixing with soil. With mangoes most important is to have well draining soil.

@growpuravida

3 жыл бұрын

Your watering regimen will solely depend on your soil composition and pot size. I only water my 15g if there is major drought for a month or longer. If you keep them in a greenhouse make sure they dry up between waterings. It’s better to underwater a mango than overwater, even seedlings are pretty drought tolerant so only time when you should watch watering closely is when grafts fuse. But generally the idea is not to have very heavy soil and not to water too much.

Thanks for this video. I'm considering planting the Neelum for eating at the young baby green stage before the seed hardens. Do you recommend it for that? What do you recommend for baby green mangos?

Fazli which is biggest mango .. less sour when green .. good for raw eaten with salt and paper .. Rakhal bhog species .. which is king as a green non ripe mango .. because it have little sweet and sour taste .. green mango which is sweet .. it's very rare .... If you want very sour green variety for extreme sour pickle then ashwina or ashwin bhog ... But you can eat any green mango with salt and paper specially because of wind many mango drop as a green .. you can eat it .. .. also like mojito sarbat drink ... You can roast a green mango , mix with ice water with rock salt and black paper .. also you can add lemon or paper mint ... This drink not only make you cool, give you relax after hard work or long journey ... It's also a traditional drink which we offer to guest ..

Can u please tell me about neelum taste. There r different opinions taste related. Some people say it must be picked green and let to ripe at room temperature similar to malika. Thanks.

Thanks for watching. Neelum for me has a peculiar taste of an Indian mango, with quite good level of sweetness. It is not a big size mango. We do not let it go yellow on the tree, pick when the color starts to change to pale green or has a streak of light yellow on skin similar to how we pick Mallika. Then ripen off in patio away from direct sun (not indoor in AC room).

It is dependent on many factors, for me it is the opposite, Malika has been producing heavily for last 3 yrs and NDM has been poor producer. Mangoes flower when there is either cold stress- many days of temps below 65F or prolonged dry weather with no rain...plus I don't prune Mallika at all, the weight of the fruits kind of sag the branches down every year. Try not to irrigate the tree, and not to prune for one year and see...also it needs full sun.

Yes we have a sugar loaf tree as well. It is also 2 yrs in the ground as m4 and is similar in height and vigor as our m4 tree. Both have similar disease resistance. Sugar loaf had more flowers than m4 in the beginning but flowers did not turn into fruits, they likely were male flowers or some other reason we don't yet know. In the end sugarloaf had 1 fruit left that was pulled down by raccoons a few days ago. I heard sugarloaf gets more productive as the tree matures.

My mango tree is like 7 years old and it only produce like 7 mangoes. I see my neighbor mango tree has black spots in the mangoes and they look sick. I wasn't fertilizing 😔 I guess it got sick too becausei see my mangoes are cracking on the black spot. Any suggestions 🙏. Thanks

I live in pinellas county and have a 13 year old coconut cream. Im.at my wits end with this tree. The best harvest was about 80 mangoes. Lately, it's been 20-30 at best and the tree is highly SUSCEPTIBLE To powdery mildew even with sulfur and copper spraying. 8m going to top work the tree and graft m-4, venus and honey kiss. After July's tiny harvest, coconut cream will be no more. It is a very delicious mango and m-4 is a step above.

What size were your trees when you first planted them in order to build up immunity? Did you plant from seed so they did not come from a nursery that used pesticides? I am about to start a backyard, mango orchard and I'm trying to have the most success possible and I'm looking at 25 gallon mango trees to start up fruit production quicker than a smaller tree would

@growpuravida

Жыл бұрын

We planted most of our trees 3g. Some of the later ones were in 15g as well. In our experience, all the trees from nurseries grown in conventional pots have some form of root compromise, they can never have the same root system as a seed that is sown in ground directly. Also, if there is no severe root binding, the 15g will establish faster than the 3g. However please do not let them hold fruits to maturity for the first 2-3 years in the ground, that is very much needed. The trees will try to flower and fruit but their roots will take 2-3 years to build up enough to absorb water and nutrients from the soil. Yes, nurseries use pesticidas. When we were buying directly from ZHPP they only used sulphur pellets over the soil in the pots. If we were to start again in FL we would plant turpentine seeds directly in the ground and graft them with known varieties when they reach 3 ft height.

Wish I could find an M4 tree for sale!

Sometimes but not always. Some known varieties have unique leaf shape, size, the margin and the tip shape. One can always compare these characteristics with leaf of a known variety, compare and identify. But if it is seedling and not a known variety it is impossible to know. Often times after comparing the leaves, growers use the smell of the crushed leaf to verify their findings.

how u treat the black spot

@growpuravida

3 жыл бұрын

Good question. I must say it will depend on how bad it has affected a tree or a mango orchard. If you have detected black spots on leaves (bacterial black spot on leaf looks like an irregular black spot with a pale halo around it) but the fruits are ok and don't have rot or necrotic lesions, then the disease is in its initial stage and preventative hygiene of the trees like preventing overcrowding, of branches, allowing air flow under the canopy, not doing any overhead irrigation and, most importantly, increasing plant immunity with improvement in soil health will stop it from getting worse and may cure it in time. If it has gotten to advanced stage then the tree will need to go to the doctor :) There are no definitive cures for Mango BBS yet, people do Copper drench, cut every branch affected, sometimes the whole tree is top-worked to variety that is less susceptible to BBS but, in my opinion, prevention is always better than cure. Also, always good to remember that trees need fungal dominated soil to thrive. If fungicides are used, they also kill fungi in the soil, which creates bacterial dominance (bbs is a bacterium), imbalance and eventually a disease. Spraying copper or sulphur is not bad because it's a chemical; it's bad because it kills all the soil health around the tree. To learn more about soil health, you can watch this video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZK2OzK-SoJqdhpM.html
