Hi all. I have a mango seedling that have been flushing at a rate of one flush per month since june (i think 4 flushes).
It reached the height where i want to make the tipping to trigger scaffold branches.
I want to make it now to win a last useful flush (instead of eventually having another vertical flush that will be cut anyway).
Besides, having a fresh flush late in the season will avoid the risk of having flower panicles next january (last year the seedling had 2 small fruitlets at a height of only one foot, and 3 years age).
What i am asking is the following : Is there a risk of doing the tipping now (we will have at least one month of warm weather - october)
Does the fact that it has been flushing since june makes it in a situation of running with an empty tank now, with the risk of having weak lateral flushes if i tip it? (i have been fertilizing it regularly).
Is it safer to let it rest and tip in january?
