What should I do with these mango blossoms?
« on: March 06, 2017, 09:21:47 AM »
This 7 gal Pickering was planted about 5 weeks ago.  It already had some fruit on it when it was planted.  Since then it has exploded with new blossoms.   I know I should be cutting all of these off but should I do that now or wait a bit longer?  And where is the proper place to make the cut?

Let the fruit get to pea size then pick them off......do not cut anything off, let the panicles die and fall off on there own....if you cut them off the tree may push out more blooms and you don't want that

Perfect...that was great advice thank you!  I would have been tempted to just cut off the panicles fruit and all.
