Thanks for making this! I plan on planting a mango tree this month in Florida and now I know how to do it!
I definitely needed this - Me and my friends are taking on a project of turning this piece of unused land into a vegetable garden.
And fruits...

Cool
Start with "worm castings" and just about anything green to get your areas microbes in a symbiotic relationship with the soil and roots . .
Even weeds will do . .
Pull'em strip their roots of all the good stuff n plant in its place . .
Beans work great for this and grow ultra fast . .
No not eight more years. Grafted trees are able to produce within a year or two. Seeds are a different story and you are going to wait a long time. Take care and buy grafted trees!
Pepe: Plants Mango tree is special way.
Me: Digs hole and shoves tree in it.
Pepe: Tree grows ok
Me: Mama Big Tree
No. This is in Coral Springs Florida. Many people in Southern California grow Mango trees. Be careful if temperatures drop in mid 35 - 40 degrees.
I have this tree in mines about 8 ft tall and I did get three mangoes last year they were around 3 lb pretty big. I was curious how this trees doing people call them a condo mango but these trees get huge like your video but you should do another video on this tree. There's not a lot out there on these trees. So if you could reply I would appreciate it and I bet a bunch of other people would also. Just curious to know how it's doing after 12 years
Sadly the lady sold the house and I have not returned to see how the tree is doing. Hopefully it's still on the property and thriving. The tree in the video is a Lancetilla and not considered a condo mango. They get pretty large and the fruit are huge also. For a condo mango you would want to try Ice Cream mango , Nam Doc Mai #4 or Pickering also the Cogshall and the famous Jamaican Julie mango. I do have a nice Nam Doc Mai # 4 at home planted in the ground and should have fruit and a video, this summer. Thanks.
Another question please man,
Since i have re-potted my 80 cm mango plants 2 weeks ago i found out my soil mix would have been better if it contained some pumice which i only got it yesterday. Do you think i should transplant again adding the pumice to the mix (my actual soil mix is: 50 % peat moss + 50 % sand and forest floor mulch)?
i am afraid transplanting again would give too much stress to them so what do you suggest?
Sorry did not get to your question sooner. The best thing is to leave the tree alone for now. Add the pumice when you transplant it to a new container. Growing in containers be careful to not over water and end up with wet feet and root rot. Take care!
What up brother. Nice video
Good day
DO you sell any of your mango seeds?
Kind regards
Very good
Hi, I planted a mango tree a few weeks ago. It was from a pot and did not have any visible roots circling so I assumed it was not pot bound. It did have roots growing out of the bottom of the pot that looked like they were dead (air prune) I did not cut them. Tree seems to be doing fine but I am worried as I did not cut Into the roots. Do you think this will be a problem?
Always good to cut them but if not circling you should be okay. Cutting the roots helps to produce more lateral root growth. Spreading them out also helps. "-)

Thank you for your response. I have seen videos of people loosening roots up as there can be roots growing upwards. What if I was to dig up the tree and cut Into roots and then replant, would it be ok? I will have to wait roughly 12 months as I have planted it abroad at my family home and won't be there for a while.
Hello Pepe’s!
I am trying to buy a mango from your website, but can’t seem to do it. Am I missing something?
Thank you, Robin
Sorry to respond so late. We have not had any mango trees available this year. Maybe in the future. Thanks.
I didn't plant my tree just like you but I think I did a good enough job. The problem I am having is that some of the leaves are getting holes in them, going brown and dying. How can I know if I am over watering or under watering? The tree would be younger than the tree you have planted here.
Sounds like insects are the problem. Look at leaves carefully may be caterpillars. Over watering is a problem when the soil drains poorly. How is the drainage? How long has the tree been in the ground?
There are no caterpillars or any bugs. It has been planted for a couple of months now I would say. It is winter here but it's Queensland so even that's not that cold.
The drainage isn't the best but it's not the worst either. Most of my soil is clay but I grew this just on my lawn where the soil is better than the gardens that are clay.
Sorry it's a bit vague. I think I'd be guessing that it's either too much or too little water. I do have other citrus trees around the same age that are doing fine in the same sort of soil.
Looking at the leaves it looks like the tree is drying out, however it has had a lot of water lately with rain so it's surprising. I did grow the soil like a donut around the tree to keep the water in.
The tree is growing fairly fast so it likes something. I don't want to give it more water to save it, if that's actually the problem. Is there a certain way I can tell if it's too much or too little?
Very likely too much water would be my best educated guess site unseen. Mangoes need a dry winter and wet summer with well drained soil. That should give you a clue.
Thanks for that mate, I'll hold off on watering it for a little longer and see what happens.
What type of soil mix do you use?
beautiful
sorry to ask same question again man,
is that mulch made of wood chips? i am asking as i just have got my mango plants and want to plant them. where can i find that in nature. if i don't can i use hay stack as a replacement?
Need advice on my lychee tree. It is about 2yrs old but due to the last hurricane we had it lost the two branches on the left side of the tree so now it is mainly all in the middle and to the right. Do I fix this somehow or will the tree eventually replace the branches on that side?
Prune off the broken branches back to a leaf node. The tree should recover with time. Read about pruning or you could do more harm than good. When I have time I will make som videos on pruning. Thanks for visiting my channel.
Is this Jon? Sounds like it. I am close to Coral Springs, FL. I've been checking out how to grow from other plants or seeds, like Pineapple, Mango, Avocado. Looks interesting.
How’s the tree today?
No clue. I have not returned to the property. Called a few times a year later and no response.
Mango trees like a lot of sun or do they dry up? I put my mango tree in a sunny side and some parts dried up
Yes full sun. Newly planted trees need regular watering for the first few months then they are pretty much fine with normal rainfall. They do not withstand wet locations. Always good drainage!
Hi, planted a grafted mango tree however the trunk seems to he crooked and I am worried that as the tree grows it will snap at the graft joint. Is that possible or will the trunk correct itself?
If your graft has healed over and the mango is grafted properly it should be fine. Thanks for visiting my channel. :-)
@@Pepesplants Hi, I planted a 2 year old mango tree but have been told I have planted it deep. I dug around the tree to check where roots are and they are just under the soil. I was told that root flare should be visible but I cannot see them. Will a tree this young have root flares?
6 lbs mango -- WOW, that's breakfast for a family for four
any updates on how the tree is doing?
No clue. I have not returned to the property. Called a few times a year later and no response.
I didn't use any of the anti fugi thing for my mango trees. can I spread it around the tree base now or not?
Better when first planted. Not much good on the service. Start making compost tea and use it often to water. The organic brew will help create a good environment around the roots over time. The Mycorrhizal fungi will find it's way to the roots in healthy soil naturally.
it is fungi. not antifungi
Hey, in my garden where I planted, there are thousands of snails that eat up everything I grow. I have tried to get rid of them in many different ways but nothing works. I wonder if you have tips on how I can get rid of slugs?
You can use a plate on the ground with some beer. They fall in get drunk and die! Really it works. You can also spread some wood ash around the base of the plants. See my link here: www.pepesplants.com/organic-gardening-tips.html

Was this planted in california?
we have a mango tree in Florida but it gets brown leaves what do we do?
Brown leaves could be many different things. Are they brownish black? Sometimes it is anthracnose a fungal disease treated most often with copper or instead neem oil. Brown leaf tips are usually caused by salinity in the soil. Salt burn also from fertilizers. Introducing too much fertilizer increases soil salts. Insects can also cause leaves to turn brown as they feed on and damage the leaves. Keeping your trees to a manageable size 8 feet tall on average is a good idea. Smaller trees can be sprayed on a regular basis with neem oil and other organic pesticides and fungicides. see my web site for more information. Thanks for visiting my channel. www.pepesplants.com
What is the best time of year to plant?
Rainy season but anytime in the subtropics so long as you have water available.
I have similar sized mango plants but the roots are so small, why is that man?
+eltonshaba Are they in pots? What size pot and are you over watering the tree?
add some potassium and phosphorus fertelizer
what does the mango tree look like today?
I have not been back to see it. Hope all is well. I lost touch with the owner been busy etc.... Would like to check it out. Will work on it. Thanks..
y u water it, i thought chlorine water will kill mycorrhizal fungi
Yes it will, She has a pump and has lake water available. Good observation. Forgot to say so in the video.
SO, WHEN U USE mycorrhizal FUNGI THING, U CAN NEVER WATER UR TREE USING TAP WATER? ONLY RAIN, LAKE OR TAP FILTERED WATER RIGHT
I would agree that the chemicals would be a problem. I would stay away from tap water. Not everyone can avoid tap water. Most nurseries use well water or water from a pond.
or let the tap water sit in milk jugs under a tree / outside for a week( it will get a greenish tint) then you can use it thats what we do , and it works great .
Can I plant it in Tennessee?
Sure in a pot and bring in for the winter.
what type of mango is that ...having trouble on the name...
+Juan Perez Lancetilla
why do you put so much mulch around it?
+Efraim Judah Mulch retains moisture keeps the roots protected and also breaks down to improve the soil. The soil was sandy and tends to dry out fast. We have periods in the summer with little rain so we like mulching during that time. We remove the mulch if we get a real wet summer. Tahnks for your comment and for visiting our channel.
