How to plant fruit trees
Caution: Always call 811 (in Florida) before you dig a planting hole! This utility line location service is free in Florida and it can save you a lot of headaches. Be smart don't burst a water main, electrical line etc....
The tree featured in the video is a Lancetilla Mango Tree. This tree can be maintained at approximately 8 - 10 feet for easy care, harvesting etc. Because this tree produces delicious six pound mangoes you should be sure the tree has grown to at least seven feet before letting it set fruit. Heavy mangoes can break branches and young trees bearing fruit will slow down your trees growth.
Remove the tree by cutting the plastic container. Plant your tree about one inch higher than the existing grade. Water the tree well and remove air pockets with your hose end inserted in the planting hole as you backfill. Do not damage the root ball as you backfill. Your planting site should be a well drained location with full sun. Mango trees should have the roots trimmed a little with a clean disinfected pruner to encourage the roots to spread.
Now that your tree is planted be sure to take good care of it by using organic fertilizers, beneficial fungi and compost teas. See the links below. Great stuff and organic too!!
