So I found myself driving through St. Pete (FL) close to Jene's Tropicals
https://www.jenestropicals.com/ and couldn't resist taking a look around. What a great selection of mangoes & avocados they have (plus citrus, but I was trying to stay focused). Lots of varieties I haven't seen locally. I was planning on being tempted into buying a Coconut Cream mango, but it was the Nishikawa that caught my eye. I impulse-bought a healthy ~3' tree:
I'll read around on the proper soil mix and all the other long-term care topics, but I did have some immediate questions about pruning this little guy. I'm fairly versed in pruning and caring for mangoes, hoping somebody(s) can give me some insight on the following:
1. Can I top it now like I would a mango?
2. Do I tip branches at 10-12" to encourage bushy behavior?
3. If I do top it, can I use the cutting like I would a mango scion? I have a few avocados grown from seed that I've been growing to graft onto.
Thanks in advance for any advice!
