Digging up a mango - advice
« on: April 14, 2016, 01:13:54 AM »
Hello. I have this mango, doing ok, but its placed pretty bad and some problems will allways be there. Like its pretty close to a avocado tree and mainly its in the bottom of my valley and I found out they like it a lot more up on the hill with a lot of wintersun. So if I dig it up I could put it in a new place I have made. The advice I want is wether this tree will be worth plating in a new space? A tree cost 15 euros here and its nothing if the tree grows a lot better.
I also wonder about the time? It just started to shoot new here and that one as well.

I was digging up a lot of other trees and they seem allright, more or less. But this was in winter when they were sleeping. So,, when is the best time to digg up a tropical tree?

Thx!

They transplant pretty well.   The original pickering at Walter Zills has been moved three times I think they said. 

Just do the least amount of harm possible to the roots system and you should be good with care.
