3/8/2021 - Common challenges of growing mango trees, including protection from the elements as well as diseases such as powdery mildew and anthracnose.
The mangoes die after a couple years because the ph is not in the right range for them to feed themselves and thrive , once the stored up energy gets exhausted they give up the ghost, u gotta add sulfur or blueberry fertilizer to them regularly so the soil ph stays around 5.8 . Anything above 7 the mangoes can’t take up nutrients from their roots because the roots lockup due to high p.h . Hope this helps, I’ve killed a lot mango trees until my hard headed arse finally learned 😔
Amazing info in here! I have slowly edged into Tropicals at my house. Had normal veggie garden that transitioned into berries, added on some dwarf citrus, went C r a z y on dragonfruit and passionfruit and now guavas are surviving so mangoes are the now add on. North San Diego County and it’s looking like a temperate if not warm fall and winter so perfect for getting them established last two years
Powdery Mildew effects the new leaf growth, could be why it looks sun burnt. Interesting how mangos do very well in South Florida they love the heat. They grow like weeds here. Citrus however, thats a different story, forget about it lol. Nice collection of mangos. FYI mango trees here in Florida can sit in water for 1-2 months, I've seen some grow in canals. I think people who say mango trees like fast draining soil are regurgitating the same info.
Mad respect to you.... didn't realize that growing mangos in Central Valley is so challenging. I get it though.....the fruit is so delicious, it's so worth the trouble! You got some good varieties...never had a manila mango. My favorite is the sugarloaf it's out this world. Beautiful garden...thanks for sharing.
So impressive you are so spot on so many of my mangoes 🥭 RIP this year even a matured VP.. so they don’t like heat burn mold fungus (spray) and don’t like wet feet 🦶 right? Even the thai mangoes 🥭 died just overnight probably from fertilizer. I was planning on a wall of mangoes as a fence on my back wall but that went out the window. Cool and very impressive homie growing all that👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I’m in SoCal near OC and I still kill 😆
Great video brother! Just quick questions, as I live in central California.I have Thai grafted mango plant and other Asian grafted mango plant gifted by my friend. I was able to survive it last year to this year, by planting in the pot and used miracle grow as fertilizer and kept in garage to survive the winters. Now I am thinking of planting them in ground. but worry they might not survive , any suggestions what can I do when planting in ground and save them from frost ? Should I add sulfur or how can I find the ph levels. Any suggestion will be great.
Excellent…thanks so much for sharing your experience in your area. I live in a similar type of zone, so have benefited from many of your videos. Please keep sharing ❤
Thanks! 6.5 is a good level to achieve. Sorry if I missed it but how much elemental sulfur do you apply to your mango trees and how often? Does temperature impact the effectiveness? I read somewhere that applying elemental sulfur to soil above 85 degrees or below 50 is counterproductive but curious on your experience.
I am convinced on Manila mango. Will look for one soon.We do get them in Lowes/HD from time to time in Bay area. Do you plant them in shade and let them grow into sunlight after they reach some height ? Or a better question is - how much sunlight do they get.
Thanks a lot for all the great information about mango.ISomeone give me a mango tree and. Not sure what yo do with it. I'm afraid it will die on me but after watching your video. It give me confidence to keep it alive.I appreciate it very much for sharing your video.
Thanks for everything! Got a Pickering but it looks like it will pass on for some reason after light pruning. Getting an Ataulfo and Keitt. I worry about them getting huge but it seems that rarely happens here in the bay area.

Growing a mango tree in Fresno. Thanks for sharing!
Awesome video I will definitely try getting a Manila mango to test my self out with growing mangoes.

I really want to do some mangos in my yard but afraid to really jump into the rabbit hole. Just live vicariously for now. Sticking to my Avocados.
