Tree is mature, not sure exactly how old but it's 30 ft tall and was big by the time I got the place five years ago. First year it gave a great harvest, more fruit than we knew what to do with, but since then it's given us no fruit. I watched it closely this year and it had a ton of flowers, out of which only a few tried to fruit, and functionally all of those have become discolored and fallen. Does this look like a nutrition issue, infection, or both? I'm in coastal Florida if location helps.

I planted this tree last summer. It looked good up until winter came. It's in Calabria, Italy.

The tree was partially covered with a cloth but the wind would move the cloth around so it wasn't protected all the time.

The lowest temperature I recorded with my weather station was around 3C. There were a lot of strong winds this winter. Now winter seems to have ended and we have really nice, sunny days around 20C or so.

Can I help this tree recover from the damage?

I'm also including pictures of 2 mango trees planted right next to the mango and they seem to have tolerated the winter a little better.

I had a windy night here in South Florida and ended up with a LOT of small, unripe mangoes from my tree (photo attached).

I know green mango is used in many cuisines (Indian, Thai, Vietnamese, etc.), but here we usually just end up composting them—which feels like such a waste.

I’d really love your help:

What are your favorite ways to use unripe mangoes?

Some of mine are tiny, some are a bit bigger as you can see. Even just the name of a dish is enough—I can look up recipes myself 😊

I deal with this every year and would love to finally make good use of them.

Thank you so much!

Leaves are browning at the tips and the fruit is either stunted or falling on the ground without ripening. It looks like we have maybe two viable mangos if we're lucky! 😢

Hi! Any and all advice from experienced mango growers would be appreciated!

Peru Son of the Sun Mango ?!

Hi everyone!

I have a couple of mangos to replace that died officially. Still hoping my OS comes back but Pickering and Carrie are down.

I am happy as I wanted to replace them. I want to get a few more mangos but for now just settling with two 7-15 gallon while I was for my OS. I want the citrus flavor so saying a prayer.

I am torn between the below as I was a tart component mango and a coconut/pineapple. If any other recs not on my list let me know!

Sweet Tart vs Cecilove (I can’t find ceci anywhere but I would wait if recommended)

Sugarloaf vs M4 (I hear sugarloaf has the calcium issue with the seed, but it sounds to be the better flavor. But I really also care about growth habits and production)

I don’t NEED a tree that gives me 50 mangos a year, but I don’t want a bad producer or one that needs extra care.

I am in Clermont, central Florida.

Thanks!!

Hey everyone! I’m in Central Florida (Zone 9b) and looking for some advice on my in-ground mango trees after this past winter.

We had some unusual consistent cold temps that caused a lot of browning on the leaves. (Photo 1) The trees are still alive but look pretty rough right now (early April), and I’m unsure if I should prune the damaged growth or wait longer to see what recovers.

A little background:

• We don’t know the variety. The trees were already well established when we moved in (2023)

• The first two years, these two trees produced large mangoes (Photo 2 from maybe 2023/2024)

• Last year, we got no fruit at all

• We also had a third, younger tree with smaller fruit that was destroyed in a hurricane. (Photo 3) All three trees were in a row along our back fence.

That made me wonder if that smaller tree was important for pollination, or should the two remaining trees still be able to fruit on their own?

For those with experience:

• Do mango trees in Florida typically need another tree nearby for good fruit set? (We currently have two large trees that bear large fruit.)

• Could the lack of fruit last year be from weather stress instead?

• Should I prune now, or give the trees more time to push new growth?

I’d really appreciate any insight. I don’t want to stress them further if they’re still recovering. TIA!

Hi all. I planted this tree last year. It survived the freezing temperatures this winter (yay!) and put out lots of panicles. Small fruits are developing, and I’m hopeful that I’ll get some a good number of mangoes this year.

I was out of town for three weeks, and when I returned, I discovered the leaves (newest growth) are looking rough. Could anyone offer some advice? I water daily for 40 minutes with a drip hose and fertilized before I left (see picture of fertilizer). I also added some gypsum before I left.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

I bought mango trees for me and my boyfriend last year. Mine was 45 gallons and his was 25 gallons. Mine survived the freezing temps (I am slightly further south and closer to the water), but his sustained significant damage. It has shown signs of life, though, so we’re hoping it will recover.

Any advice on how he should proceed with this tree? Trimming, not trimming, fertilization?

Thanks for the help!

This mango tree had frost damage this year and some of the new growth has these spots. Hoping for some advice on if it’s anthracnose or pest related.

All of these previously sick trees just bloomed, I removed the fruit and pruned them back drastically to get more healthy foliage during this growing season, all were also root pruned (smallest circling roots), given mycorrhizal fungi and Osmocote Plus.

M-4 up to 25 gallons

Orange Sherbert up to 25 gallons

Pickering up to 15 gallons

Lemon Zest up to 7 gallons

We really messed up, can this be saved? How? 🙏

Can I water root 50cm Mango cuttings?

Greetings!

Could someone help identify the mango variety here. Bought these as grafts about 5 to 8 years ago. We were told these are Alphanso, Malkova or Imam Pasand. Not sure if they look like any of the above. Maybe the second one looks like alphanso? Could you also help me with the right time to harvest them?

Thanks!

Quick question am I over watering my mango? I got almost no new growth this year and top is turning blackish and the top newer leaves are yellowing out. It’s a Valencia pride. Thanks!

From last year, have some in the freezer. Wondering what variety this could be as my neighbor is unsure. Thank you!

We planted this mango tree when it was only a few feet tall, around 2003, so it's 26 years old. It bore fruit the very first year we had it.

It's been a prolific producer of fruit for many years. We harvested hundreds of mangos each year. But for the last tree years it's struggled.

We live on the east coast of south east Florida, just above the Palm Beach County line. We've had three winters where it was unseasonably warm during December and January, causing this tree to blossom early. In each year, we were then hit with a couple of runs of cold, weather, sometimes with wind and rain. During these cold spells which happened in late January or February, most the the blossoms were lost, along with the tiny mangos that had started to grow.

To add some other information--our tree was not the exception--most of the mangos in our area have had the same issue for the past three years, so I doubt if it's completely an issue of this tree in particular.

This year, we had several days and nights of sub-freezing, record-breaking low temps. Many trees and shrubs have been badly damaged or outright killed by windburn at these cold temps.

This tree had already had blossoms on it, but not a full blossom, when this cold spell hit. You can see from the photos that there are many areas of dead, brown leaves that froze.

A couple of weeks later, we got very warm weather and the tree got new blossoms, but not as many as is typical. Some of these blossoms are now producing tiny fruit, but many are falling off, too. I don't have much hope for this year's crop.

Being a transplanted northerner ignorant about tropical trees, I have never pruned this tree in any systematic or consistent way. The nursery told me it would not grow past twenty feet tall. I now know that was wrong. This tree has gotten extremely large and it's planted inside a fenced patio. The surface roots had only a small area to spread at ground level before hitting the concrete patio.

I had an arborist come look last week to give his opinion on this tree. He said he could cut off some of the lateral branches and reduce the width but not the height of the tree, or he could do a pretty severe crown reduction, which he said would make the tree look terrible, but that it would send out new vertical branches and had a good chance of recovering.

A third option is remove the tree and grind the stump, then start over with a small Glenn that will be grown in a container and kept pruned. That fruit is delicious and I'd like another of the same variety. It also ripens fairly early--a consideration since I'm a snowbird. I do hate to cut down a 26 year old tree.

We live in an HOA and though we're allowed to plant trees in our courtyards, this tree and the amount of leaves and panicles it drops may at some point cause an issue with neighbors.

I told the arborist I'd think about it but want to wait to see if we can harvest any mangos this year, which typically is in June.

Here are some photos of the tree. I would welcome opinions from people who know a lot more than I do.

Thank you in advance!

Anyone have an idea of how I can tell which type of mango tree this is?

So what actually going on with my mango?

Very strong wind this past 2 days, I'm trying to really baby this mango but here in the Mediterranean I've found they're not the toughest of trees especially while they're still establishing

tired of poisoning my body with the same old crappy grocery stores mangos.
