Avocado/Mango pruning
« on: May 10, 2018, 11:24:06 AM »
Hello,
I have three small avocados (3-4 ft,) and one mango (3ft)
I've read somewhere that in order to promote branch growth on the mango you should cut off about 1/3 of the top.
Should something like this be done for the avocados as well? (Lamb Hass, Hass, Holiday) If you have any instructional videos, or sources that would be fantastic!

Thanks!
-Kris

These are one year old Valencia Pride mango and an unknown age avocado that were pruned/tipped in the beginning of the year. It has pushed new growth.

sadly the new growth on mango is actually blooms. dont do anything until late June. or you will get more blooms.

Behlgarden,

That's what I figured too.  Dang it, my freaking father in-law. I told him to tip the plant early. He waited until the last minute to do it. 

What should I do to it in June? I am not home but I could get my dad to fix it.

Thanks,
