So I need to dig up a mango tree . Should I cut back some of the branches? What the chance it’ll will Survived ? The tree truck is about 5 to 6 “ at the root.Thanks
If you must move it then yes cutting the smallest branches and defoliating can help it deal. Have the hole your putting it in ready to go and move it straight there when you dig it up.
Don’t see why it wouldn’t surviveYou want to cut back so there isn’t too much green for the brown to feed At least a third and more if it’s too heavyDigging it out to save roots is more important than green at this point. Mangos transplant pretty well and I believe the original Pickering was moved three times.
The tree is this big . From the picture the tree look big but it’s really not that big .

My dad taught me how to transplant trees long ago.....
See the Haden I transplanted last year. Your tree is a baby compared to this one. We hacked every leafing branch off and dug a good root ball. Transplanted it and every other day for the first 30 days I drained a 55 gallon drum of water mixed with Super Thrive onto the base of the tree. The two photos show the tree’s recovery not even 10 months later. Didn’t show one sign of stress at any point. IMO mango trees are amongst the easiest trees to transplant. For me, Mamey is the most difficult
F yeah Johnny! Way to go. I love that. Chris
