Organic Kesar Mangoes for sale Rs.100 per kg, to order DM on Instagram @vectopl.mango

Pickup near Pune University

It was planted 1 week ago from 6 gallon nursery pot. the top node looks half rotten. It did not look like this when planted. Tree is about 4 ft tall and the wound is about 3 ft high (1 ft from top). It is not a graft wound that is at the base.

How to save?

Should it be covered in wound paint? Cut below? Fertilized?

Hello! I am a complete novice when it comes to gardening, trees, etc., but I’ve really wanted to get into this and I’m hoping this is a perfect opportunity. I’m fairly certain this is a mango tree, but please let me know if I’m wrong!

I have no clue how old it is. From my understanding, this house has been vacant for at least a year, so I don’t think this tree has gotten much TLC.

I’m in Florida and just moved in this week. The tree appears to have flowered because there are a lot of dried black/brown flower clusters all over it, but I don’t see any fruit or fallen pits around the tree. I’m not sure if it fruited before the house became vacant, failed to hold fruit, or if it hasn’t fruited yet.

There are also a lot of brown/dead leaves and some yellowing leaves, so I’m wondering if it may be nutrient deficient or stressed from neglect.

From the research I’ve done so far, I’m thinking I should lightly clean up/prune the dead flower clusters and dead leaves, add mulch around the base, and probably fertilize it, but I wanted to ask people with mango experience before touching anything.

A few questions:

- Does this look healthy overall, or is there anything obvious going on?

- Any guesses on age or whether this looks seed-grown vs grafted?

- Does it look like it fruited recently and dropped everything, or more like flowering failed?

- Any signs of disease from the photos?

- Should I prune the dead flower stalks now or leave them?

- Any fertilizer recommendations for Florida sandy soil?

- Anything I should avoid doing as a new mango owner?

Thanks in advance! I’m excited to learn and hopefully save this thing and maybe get mangoes one day 🥭

Purchased 2 grafted maha chanok mango trees and planted them roughly one week ago. Should I be pruning any of these off ti promote growth else where or let them get slightly bigger first

grow in water. I am in North Florida.

So ive been trying to successfully get a mango tree to grow and i finally had another one get leaves after the last one died and i finally decided to plant it today and so i went inside the house for 1 FUCKING MINUTE after i had got it into the dirt so i could grab some poles to make a makeshift greenhouse for it and what do i see.... THE FUCKING LEAVES THAT TOOK MONTHS TO GROW GONE AND MY GRANDMAS 2 DOGS FUCKING STANDING THERE I AM SO FUCKING PISSED NOW DUDE LIKE IM ACTUALLY CRYING RIGHT NOW DUDE ive been trying to grow a mango for at least 4 years now so since i was like 12 and ive only had 1 that i managed to get into dirt and it was growing so well then all of a sudden it died... and now i only got 1 more small one after this one that just got eaten and then i doubt any more of my like 10 seeds i have are gonna sprout

Sorry for the no punctuation rant i am just so fucking unbelievably pissed right now at that fucking dog so im basicallyjust rant shitposting about it...

Theres a reason i am a cat person

On the 6th month of its life, my hydroponic mango got a new pot! Since the last post about a month ago it got so cramped down there I had to act fast otherwise it'd probably start rotting...

And well, to be honest, it was quite an ordeal. It didn't want to leave the 17cm pot matter what, I had to slowly cut it out of it. (Picture 1) The new clear inner pot is 21cm. (Picture 2) Also it's almost as tall as I am, just a few centimeters left to 180cm. (Picture 3) 😎
