I know it has been FOREVER since my last update. I have had several setbacks since November 2019 on this tree but it finally looks as though it could actually make it! In this video, I will provide you with an update on the one started on 7/21/18. This update marks it's 44+ Month Point. I do plan on keeping you updated on the seedlings progress from now until it either perishes or flourishes into a fruit-producing tree.

Your updates always give me a sense of meaning in life (struggling with suicidal thoughts). and I know it’s weird to say that. But just watching you grow all these beautiful trees over the years and also you getting older too. there is something about that just make me appreciate life more. Thank you so much for giving your time to make these videos :)
Thank you Kai. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers brother and know that you are unique and needed (like all of us). Thank you for your kind words and stay strong my brother. PS - love your name. We named our family dog Kai as well.
Start some seeds of your own, Kai. It will make you excited to see the progress and make you look forward to seeing the changes tomorrow will bring. ❤️
Worked with you for years before leaving to pursue botany and had no idea you were into plants... I would have talked your ear off lol. You're a cool guy Rob👍
I think mango from seeds are just finicky like that, I started one ten months ago that was doing awesome. I brought it inside for a week and it lost all its leaves, then later when I repotted it lost all its leaves, then it had a bunch of growth so I pruned and it lost all its leaves. But having said that it is by far my favorite plant, it’s like a child to me now
I have an avocado tree I grew from seed that's 46 months old now and your mango story sounds like mine with my avocado. It's finally starting to have multiple strong growing branches after fighting some sort of fungus every year and coming out on top this past fall. Hopefully we both end up with fruit eventually!
I like your patience in saving and keeping the mango plant... alive and not give up! First, the plant is tropical and itself has a hard time to adjust to unfamiliar environments. If we give it the time to survive in unknown surroundings, I believe it will give us a lot of joy to watch and discover...!
the first video of this series is the first video of yours that i watched. subbed right after that. i am truly amazed at the amount of effort that you put into this plant. Thank you!
Yeah, most of 2020 and some of 2021 I didn't see me ever doing a video on it. I actually started a few more in 2021 as backup, but they died after sprouting their 2nd leaves. Mango has been tough for me. Hoping that despite all the issues it actually makes strides in 2022.
What if you tried planting it in an air-pruning pot to help the soil remain more even with watering and drying? It may also promote a better root system to support the top growth. And I would add IV Organics to the potting mix to help the roots be healthier. That should help the mango feel better and handle changes better!
This is awesome! Thank you so much for staying resilient just like the mango tree when it came to the process. I’ve been following and watching this series of yours and hope to keep doing so. In your videos you mentioned being in North Texas. I am actually living in South Texas and am wondering if I should give this a shot. I would be a first timer and your content has inspired me to really give this a go!
In my area, mango trees are a native plant. They can be seen growing in backyards, sidewalks, and roadways worldwide. To grow them, people don't take any particular actions. I believe that you are going overboard. Mangos adore water, but during the summer months, they rarely get any, with rain falling once every ten days. In addition, the trees bear fruit in the spring, which arrives in this region in late February and ends in heavy downpours. By late May, the fruit is fully ripe. You must observe mango-growing regions and imitate their natural environments.
Texas would be tough on many Plants, Freezing to Hotter than Hell, many wouldn't cope. Growing your own food makes sense with Food Shortages on the Horizon. In the next Vid, would love to see the Money Tree.
I just started this project a month ago with the numerous mango seeds I ate from a box in a span of 2 weeks. There were 14 in a box. Right now, I'm on the final stage (5 more days) of transplanting the last 5 germinated seeds on a 20 gal tub. There are roots, but no leaves on any of them. Surprisingly, all 14 seeds germinated. Some slow, others at regular pace. Those that have been transplanted have shown no progress of growth but it's only been 7 days. I live out in the west coast. It's warm this week but very disappointed with the weather a month earlier due it being in the mid to lower 60s F. Sunny but cold wind. Regarding your mango tree, my understanding with plants is they don't like to be moved. So I would buy some cheap plastic or wooden sticks from home depot and build a quick, small scaffold like structure and lay a plastic transparent or translucent sheet over it for the winter to shield it from the snow while letting the light in. Nothing fancy, just enough to get through the season and easy enough to remove for the rest of the season.
@@alfrancis8 About 95% of them started growing to about 6 inches. Some took two weeks. Others 1 to 2 months oddly. Unfortunately, an unexpected fog started happening and it lasted for 2 months that lead to disease spreading to all the mango plants and killed most of them. The rest that survived didn't make the wet and cold winter. I'm willing to try again since I enjoy these plants. If you live in a warmer area where there's hardly fog, go for it. I recommend you try at least five so you can pick the best one to focus on. Good luck.
Awesome video!! I'm glad to see your mango tree live through the rough times n, such. My mango tree didn't make it.. it died on me two weeks ago..the avocado trees are growing shoots and showing great signs they're healthy!! Thanks again, Ceddimoe01 from California
After all he’s been through I think he deserves a name.😂 I’m gonna call him Vance unless you have already picked out a name.😁 I also don’t know why I feel he’s a male but I just do.😆
I love your mango series! I’m currently growing a mango by following your videos and they’re about 20 days old and sprouting! I have a question, my mango tree is in my room and doesn’t get much direct sunlight from my window since it faces Northwest, I don’t have any plant lights, will he (I’ve named him Bob) be okay? Or should I move him to a sunnier spot? ❤️
Hi Rob, I have a mango seedling which is doing well here on the Costa Blanca in Spain - grown from a delicious Peruvian mango I bought at a local market! My question is regarding the fertilizer - what do you recommend? Any help gratefully received!
Rob, are the mangoes supposed to be in direct sunlight or indirect? I have 2 that I planted from seed back in June 2020 and they’ve only grown about 12-14 inches. The 12 inch one has grown sideways instead of straight up, and it’s started to lose a lot of its big leaves recently. I don’t know why. I had brought it in during our “winter” here in Florida but now it’s somewhat warm. The other one has a few bad leaves, brown or spotted and is sprouting new roots on the side
Mango trees require full sun, meaning at least eight hours of direct sunlight on most days. Their flower and fruit production will suffer if they don't get enough light. That being said, young trees are mmore vulnerable and may require some indirect sunlight until they mature a bit.

mangoes here in africa grow like no mans business. will continue to love what you do.thanks boss
Thanks Rob! First gardening video I’ve caught. I would have cried if I’d broken 3ft off that tree, but you didn’t give up👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I have 2 mangos i grew from seeds! And a lemon tree!
Worked with you for years before leaving to pursue botany and had no idea you were into plants... I would have talked your ear off lol. You're a cool guy Rob👍

That Mango plant is a fighter.
We missed you. 😢
I am currently growing a mango tree from my sister's mango tree, its a couple months old and its larger then my half a year old strawberry bush
the first video of this series is the first video of yours that i watched. subbed right after that.
i am truly amazed at the amount of effort that you put into this plant. Thank you!
Thanks for subbing and for watching!
Thanks for keeping up with updates for so long. That's one of the best aspects of your channel. Mangoes sure don't like any cold at all, eh
Good video rob, awesome that it’s still alive

Hey what’s up Rob! Awesome to see you with another garden video :)
Hey brother! Thanks for checking out the update! hope all is well. :)
@@RobBackyardGardenerr you too man! Can’t wait to see the stream tomorrow!
Glad you’re back 🙂
Looking forward to your other updates.
Great video, you are my favorite gardening youtuber
Keep those updates coming. Also, I'm looking forward to more on your citrus trees.
More to come!
Yes citrus tree update please... 🍋🍊😎 !!!
Thanks for the update. Your series inspired me to start my own mangoes and they’re doing great
Nice! Thank you. This has been a battle and a "series of unfortunate events" to say the least, for me.

Have you checked the pH of the soil. Mangoes require a more acidic soil to be able to uptake nutrients. You may need to add a soil acidifier.
Yeah, my soil is less acidic.
@@RobBackyardGardenerr 44 months is impressive. I just started some haden mango seeds. Will experiment with them
Wow luv the mango tree not looking it best but it survied a lot
Thanks Daniel - it's been a journey but it has persevered. Hoping I can actually not disrupt it anymore and let nature guide it's way!

Updates!! 😀 Great video Rob 👍👍
Due to mangos being a tropical
There sure is nothing like Mother Nature's Sun herself....
Mangos thrive in the heat and humidity of Florida

Lemon trees please😀
Do an update!!!
Can you do another update
Novice gardener here so asking, if I ever want fruit should I start a second tree for them to pollinate each other or will 1 produce fruit on its own?
Can you build or buy an Amazon greenhouse for your backyard for the mango tree
Update!!!! How NOT to grow a mango tree!!!! Just kidding!!! Love your content Rob!
After all he’s been through I think he deserves a name.😂 I’m gonna call him Vance unless you have already picked out a name.😁 I also don’t know why I feel he’s a male but I just do.😆
44 month's 😆 Like a mom talking about a child.

Hi Rob, I have a mango seedling which is doing well here on the Costa Blanca in Spain - grown from a delicious Peruvian mango I bought at a local market! My question is regarding the fertilizer - what do you recommend? Any help gratefully received!
I got the same problems with my mango's..
They all died sadly...
I just want unlimited supply of mango
Any new updates?
Are you attempting to grow corn this year?
LOL - likely not. I stink at it!

hi what mango variety is this?
How can I get mango seeds ?
Thats almost 4 year old tree ... but it look like 2 years old ... 😪😔😔
my mango tree grown from seed died off
