Default Re: Mangos

If a young mango blooms they should not be allowed to fruit. If you remove the bloom stem early the plant may try to flower again. This will slow up its growth. The flower spike should be left on until very small fruit forms. Then when it is removed the plant should go on to a vegatative mode. I have three trees and a good crop and many people around south Florida have poor crops. I trim my trees after each harvest.
