Mango pruning question
« on: April 01, 2018, 05:01:25 PM »
I have some young trees in the ground less than a year that I am planning on tip pruning "to make their canopies dense"
They are now starting to put out mixed blooms. If I prune a few inches below the mixed panicle will they try to rebloom or flush vegetative growth? Thanks

Most advise to let bloom happen then prune off panicles.
Check out 8:00 in to this video for good instructions on formative pruning:

Hello everyone, 

Apparently my father in law never bother to tip my young Valencia Pride and now it is flushing flowers. What should I do? Let it flower first and then tip it later?


Thanks.

I waited until it set pea size fruit. Then stripped the whole panicle leaving panicle intact. The panicle dried up and fell off. Now flushing vegetative growth.
