Hey there! So after long consideration and over an hour at the nursery trying to pick the right variety for me, I ended up with this Venus Mango. Looked very healthy and seems like a great variety. I needed something rather compact and some reviews mentioned that about this one. I live in 9b, near the coast and plan on planting close to my porch so I can have access to an outlet for a heater and hoop house if we get a freeze. I have just a couple questions..
-I have sandy soil, should I amend with anything at planning?
-Should I “top” of trim any of it? Or wait until next spring?
-When it comes to pruning for shape and size, is there a method or should I just let it go?
-Anything else of significance I should know about my new tree?
I also picked up a Broadleaf Papaya and Tikal Guava. I’m really excited about the opportunity to grow so many great fruits in my small backyard. Thanks for the advice!
