Yes, I selectively prune all of my trees regularly.

I believe this tree is about 5-6yrs old?  It has lived in a pot most of its life.  Planted in ground 9/2017.

I let it fruit a little last year while it was in a pot over at the nursery however the squirrels didn't leave me a single fruit :(  I've yet to try ST so hopefully this year will be different.

Beautiful tree! Sweet Tart is so productive with such high quality fruit. My ST blooms got lots of Powdery Mildew and still set lots of small fruit. Congratulations on the great structure of the tree.

To say I am jealous would be an understatement. What are you feeding it? Looks like heavy mulch, but what else?

I spotted flowers on my sweet tart today... looks like its going to be a late season here. Now only if it would dry up, way too much rain here.

In November I top dressed with some 3-2-6 Organic.  Eventually, I'll need to cut back on the N and focus on K + micros.  Right now all mango trees are getting 1hr of watering every other day,

I let my hang until spotted gold.  Delish!  Yeah, that's an amazing production you got there and on such a small tree.
